Ref Watch

Mason is no doubt one of the most inept and incompetent officials I have ever seen. I would say for sure that he isn't corrupt, just totally out of his depth. Needless to say, he leaves with a nice little package and a good pension. One useless twat.

It begs the question about Riley's leadership, another twat. If Webb has any integrity I would expect other officials to be shown the door.

Webb integrity ?

Have you ever seen him ref a match ?
 
To the rules that is still offside, your basing it on the Rashford decision that was wrong.

How is Haaland not interfering with play
Which Webb hurriedly rushed out an explanation of this week, after seeing a similar anomaly happen (Haaland pen) I would ask the question why this took so long to clear up ? (It’s been a month) and the timing of the response was very suspect. Arsenal got a dodgy one, within days they had an apology, a dodgy pen and Lee Mason potted
 
I didn't watch the EDS game last night against Fulham due to work but the ref was especially inept by all measures. Now I know he's going to be less experienced given the level he's refereeing at but one of the instances was a late penalty call where their defender fell to the ground after Mbebude skipped past him, the defender grabbed his ankle and yanked him down directly in front of the ref in the box. No penalty.


It may have been suggested already but it seems to me that maybe this information City is suggested to have been given was perhaps known about for longer than we believe. Is Pigmol getting it's revenge in early given some of the shocking decisions at all levels? Perhaps an early warning of what will happen if we release it? Or is the paranoia catching?

That's not paranoia, it's just a perfectly normal persecution complex.

Based on this reading of law 11, I still think it’s a penalty.

In situations where:

  • a player moving from, or standing in, an offside position is in the way of an opponent and interferes with the movement of the opponent towards the ball this is an offside offence if it impacts on the ability of the opponent to play or challenge for the ball; if the player moves into the way of an opponent and impedes the opponent's progress (e.g blocks the opponent) the offence should be penalised under Law 12
  • a player in an offside position is moving towards the ball with the intention of playing the ball and is fouled before playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the foul is penalised as it has occurred before the offside offence
  • an offence is committed against a player in an offside position who is already playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the offside offence is penalised as it has occurred before the foul challenge
 
Unfortunately VAR has, for all intents and purposes, re-written this rule.
Its a shite rule imo. Haaland should be classed as offside as the fact he was off gave him some advantage in getting in front of the defender. However, agreed the least we can expect is for the officials refs/var to administer the laws fairly, to the letter and without making it up as they go!! Which they did in this instance and the Rashford one. We live in hope tho!!

No they're not. Based on IFAB clear directive, see below

I’m intrigued as to how you know so much detail about a game you haven’t watched?

It's just gobbledook that means any decision can be defended.
