Should it have stood?

That ref you speak of was Pete Walton who is a complete chopper that hates us.

that’s the one. Liverpool isn’t he

When you have that cnut Walton on BT saying the goal shouldn’t have stood due to the player who scored catching Laporte’s heel in build up then you know something is dodgy they took far to long as well looking at the incident,all I will say if that was us last night it gets disallowed..

As well as anyone who we happen to be playing.

It was either very very poor, or just biased.

Even though he didn't touch it the guy was interfering with play. Had he not been there Laporte wouldn't have been angling his run across to cover him. Had he not been doing that the guy who scored wouldn't have clipped his heel and he wouldn't have fallen over.

Here's the law as per the FA website ...

Offside offence

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

• interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or
• interfering with an opponent by:
• preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
• challenging an opponent for the ball or
• clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or
• making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

The emboldened text is the key part for this instance and I don't think he was offside in this case unless it clipped his heel, which I thought it did at first but haven't looked at since as it doesn't really matter now.

However what's the first thing we're all taught as kids? "Play to the whistle". We didn't and everyone stopped.

I think the VAR official would probably of found it necessary to disallow the "goal" if it had been a similar City goal,in fact it wouldnt of gone to var as the ref would of whistled at the same time as the linesman put his flag up
Imagine Jesus miles offside dummys the ball to Sterling who has just tripped the defender,its just never going to be a goal Uefa approve of

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

It was a foul on Laporte, should have been disallowed for that.

 

[RayCTID]

Nope but we could of handle it better
