Probably shouldn't but that made me laugh. It would have gone back to Ederson, who would probably have booted it out of play.

Your comment made me laugh and then cry a little so thanks for that

BT Score show all saying should be offside. Even rag Robbie Savage. All the ex pros Savage/benali/Akinfenwa/sutton all mocking Walton.

Walton just said Rashford was 3 or 4 yards away from the ball…. YCMIU

Stuart atwel couldn't run a fuckin bath, never mind the biggest premier League game of the week, how keeps getting games is a mystery, also it's not hard to tell Howard Webb is now in charge of var, I wondered what that bulge was in taggarts inside pocket

Stop crying ,wtff...admit ,we are shit,be a fucking man .grab a beer

He makes no attempt to play the ball (we are quoting the same thing BTW).

Why cant the defenders make a tackle...he doesnt block them

Ederson is not impeded....Rashford does not stop Ederson moving towards the ball (which is what it says)

Yes I agree as Ive said numours times....Rashford affected the decision making of Akanji and Walker.....but he did nothing to physically stop them playing the ball and thats what the law implies.....

The defenders and keeper change their movement due to his actions - you are being deliberately misleading if you think that only physically stopping a player from touching the ball is all that matters. His movements were an obvious action (running with it, a feint and looked about to shoot) which impacted on Ederson and the defenders - Akanji is tracking Rashford rather than the path of the ball and Ederson stopped & set for a Rashford shot. Both would have been in a better position to either play the ball or make an attempt to play the ball if Rashford had stopped running or wasn't involved at all.

Not disjointed mate,predictable. Teams have worked out how to play,us.the system is stale and we don't have the personnell to carry out the plan,

We have the personnel. The plan is shit.

I feel sick after that decision.

 

[lazerblue]

Why the feck did we not attempt to kick the frigging ball away.

Because the players knew it was offside and now way would it be allowed

 

[ancoats]

I think so; especially if you consider that at that point Fernandes would not be expected to get to the ball if City's defenders did not know the player the ball was actually passed to was offside - the closest things in the Laws of the Game is offside Example 4.

If it is true that VAR did not intervene, the decision making is even worse than it first seemed.

The whole thing is so diabolical in my view that I believe the game should be voided and replayed - of course there's no chance of that but it ranks as one of the most scandalous pieces of refereeing I have ever seen in well over 50 years of watching football. I am incredulous that anyone could think or interpret the Laws of the Game to rule that as not offside.

the whole team and pep should have just walked off

Yup, he does.
