So the lineman must be told to do the opposite for each team that only explains it! Because how can the same referee keep putting his flag up for foden just being offside then come out and keep his flag down for there first goal

It simply CANNOT be the 'right' decision if there is clear evidence that Rashford presence and actions affected both Ederson AND Akanji.
HE WAS INTERFERRING WITH PLAY.
Agree but this is what Gallagher came out with and we thought offsides are not Subjective!? They make it up as they go along

The refereeing team must have had a 'chat' at half time.So the lineman must be told to do the opposite for each team that only explains it! Because how can the same referee keep putting his flag up for Foden just being offside then come out and keep his flag down for their first goal.

I cant stand Warnock but he might be quite useful on there today. He hates City, but you'd think he hates United more. I can't see him aligning with Gallagher.Gallagher already pinned his colours to the mast it was subjective decision so offside or onside it’s the right decision! So I hope if he says that today they’ll say to him I thought offsides were not Subjective because you can be a toenail offside!
This isnt correct, to give the linesman some slack. Foden’s was wide and not leading immediatly to a goal scoring opportunity. Rashfords potentially was. Thats the difference and they are instructed to behave this way in those incidents. We may not like it but that is how they are told to behave. The lino did exactly as he is suppose too. The ref however….So the lineman must be told to do the opposite for each team that only explains it!

They are precisely 100% wrong, yet they are doubling-down on their 'error', which is making themselves look utterly incompetent. Really, they are just affirming what we all know. The PiGMOL are BENT!!!Agree but this is what Gallagher came out with and we thought offsides are not Subjective!? They make it up as they go along

MotD2 showed it perfectly last night. They showed an image from behind the goal with Rashford taken out. Said it was clear as day that Ederson does what he has done a million times before and gets to that ball and clears it if it's only Fernandes going through. The fact that he's staring at Rashford at all times prevents him from doing this. Also showed that Akanji and Walker both altered their runs to accomodate Rashford. Shearer was trying to hide behind the wording of the laws of the game but even dipper Dan said there's enough in them to rule that as an offside.
for me it's all down to Rashford's influence on Ederson, not Akanji. Ederson clearly has to keep Rashford in mind, he cant see across the line from back in goal, Ederson doesn't have the same feeling for whether it's well offside or a VAR lines on the telly job, so he must assume Rashford is in play as he is steaming towards goal. Therefore Ederson is influenced, Rashford has clearly intefered. The little back lift of Rashford's left foot is just another reason to disallow. I cant believe this blatant offside is even being discussed in technicalities but it's where the game rules have gone now.
Whether Rashford touched the ball or not, he definitely impacted play because the ball was meant for him, he shepherded it, he ran with it… so why weren’t they flagging before it even got to that point?
This.
Rashford is offside by a mile & knows he's offside
As Rashford is offside & shielding the ball from Akanji, Akanji would have to go through him to get to the ball & risk a red card!
If Rashford stops running with the ball then Akanji takes possession & clears any danger. There is absolutely no chance that Fernandes gets anywhere near that ball.
HTF is Rashford not interfering with play?

Yeah that’s a fair point
