Law 18 - The Red Shirt Law: The match officials must interpret Laws 1 to 17 in a manner that advantages the team playing in red should that team be struggling to make a positive impact in the game through fair play.I’m sure I’ve seen red cards disregarded if the players offside but as you say who knows.
Because they cheated!If the on field decision was offside then surely it is up to the referee to review the decision, the ref did not look at the screen so how can var decide no interference. Howard Webb has said var should not interfer with on field decisions.
And directly between the ball and City defenders, creating a barrier, and blocking their line of vision to the ball.And physically a barrier to Akanji.
Which is what Foden was flagged offside for yet the decision was upheld.without touching it
Well either him or the ref got it badly wrong & one of them needs hanging out to dry….we know who it’ll beThe way the assistant ref looked apologetically at Rat face when he came over remonstrating with him..that tells a lot about what is wrong with the game today.
Peter Walton insists that Rashford was not even on the pitch.Right, Simon.. explain this… what happens in that picture is Rashford is not there?
If Akanji fouls him the goal is disallowed because Rashford was offside before the foul is committed. The assistant flagged for offside. The on field decision would be offside before the foul was committed. So it does change what the opponent can do.but that doesnt physically change anything the opponent can do and thats the bit that matters
