From Wikipedia so not sure how accurate :-
Chris Foy
Foy retired from professional refereeing at the end of the 2014–15 season to become a senior referees' coach for the Professional Game Match Officials Board, working under Howard Webb.[2]
So no surprises then ?
They’ve got all the band back together, plus a coach from the Rags.

Surely that is just when the linesman isn't sure the attacker is offside. If they are sure, they are to put the flag up no? That is the "protocol" I think. In this case he was clearly offside from the get go.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….
I'm sure there would still be wrong decisions, but if they're explaining why they're giving them, at least we'd know for sure that they're bent!But if you listen to Gallagher he said Akanji was not interfering with Rashford! At least swp said to him maybe Because he was a yard offside is why he wasn’t interfering with him!

Imagine they were Mic’d up Attwell goes to the lines man and say did Rashford touch the ball linesman no was Fernandas offside lineman says no Attwell whistles for a goal they can say what what they want to make a decision will make no difference
But then it would be clear they didn't consider all the possibilities for being active. So it would be a mistake.

Gallagher talking bollox as usual. Subjective my arse. He’s offside. Phil Foden got flagged offside twice in the first half when he hadn’t touched the ball.

I envy you.Past the anger phase now, it's more just disappointment that we can have such shit officiating.
For me, this is a prime example of why the referee and VAR official should me mic'd up (as in Rugby, Cricket etc). There is simply no way that goal is given if Atwell speaks to VAR and says "we've got offside on the pitch as it looks as though Rashford is interfering with play. Is he?"
I know (or at least think) they didn't bother with VAR on this one, but if you're getting audible validation or contradiction that all the fans can hear, it would take the subjectivity out of it.
Actually, I am still angry.

The referees are all proving they can’t lie straight in bed. Normally silence but it’s so bad & they are so arrogant they’ve all joined ranks to explain.
Never interrupt your enemy from making a mistake.

Said this previously. He was in no position (their half when incident started/from 30 meters behind when it finished) to have the perspective to make the decision he did in overruling his linesman.So all on Attwell then he blew his whistle Straight away for all offsides but didn’t for that Rashford decision WHY? Only reason why he is corrupt our a bias fan
It stinks…..

im more amazed they talked about as it happened on BT sportsTo be fair to sky they’ve called it out for what it is and are embarrassing Attwell and the officials….
but it's true rushforward was that far off side he was nearly in manchester
I think he was trying to explain Attwell thought process to be fair to Dermott. But, from his position on the pitch he has no right to take the decision he didWanker Gallagher surprise defending Attwell

This was what we as fans were told at the beginning of this season and one must assume all the clubs were told.
The new directive will see the assistants only delay in cases when there is both a clear goalscoring opportunity and the call is a tight one. If a chance of a goal is not obvious - say play is headed out to the wings - or the assistant feels sure of the offside call they will flag immediately this season.
This call wasn't a tight one, Rashford ran for the ball despite him being quoted as knowing he was offside, so why the delay?
