It has already been done so so I hope you have the answer you are looking for. As per my previous post offsides will forever and a day bring controversies. Along with contact and handball the powers that be keep looking to sinplify/bring fairness but fail to do so.

No, I'm still waiting for someone to show me under the LOTG, why Casemiro wasn't penalised for offside. Or for anyone to show me anything official that helps to explain different phases of play. Was everything from the initial free kick to the goal being scored one single phase of play? I think it was.

Onana looks toss for them. What the fuck was he doing for Forest’s first goal?

I couldn't get my head around the decisions in the other games. However I'd of wanted those Two decisions yesterday to go our way had we had been in their shoes and every other poster on here would of.

Yes, we all would have, and we would have been ranting and raging on here at the injustice if we didn't get them. That's all perfectly normal. But that isn't the point.

I wondered same. He just sits down.

Three games in and two teams that will probably be in the relegation scrap have given them the run around. Their away form which was terrible last season continues with them not turning up against Spurs. £170 million spent, not much has improved has it? Ten Hag continues to be the emperors new clothes, he is no better than Solksjaer or Mourinho. The media weirdly give him a free ride.

He gets a free ride because the rag fans like hence why the media won't say a thing about him.............. Give it a while and once they realise is yet another false dawn they will turn and the media will do the same ............fooking sad isn't the way the media across all media daren't tell the truth because it will upset some rag bastard in Torquay

Looked to me like he was guessing that the Forest player was going to bung it in the corner but he guessed wrong.

I'm not scrolling through the bloody fa rules of the game on your behalf I'm sorry to say. Remember laws/rules tend to explain what IS an offence rather than what isn't for obvious reasons.

Anyhow I thought everyone was aware of the current offside rules as they have been commented on for a long fime now by refs, pundits and fans.

I am glad however you are seeking to gain official confirmation after all this time after a decision in the rags favour:-)

You’ve highlighted the laws and asked which bit applied. None do.

That type of goal gets scored countless times each week.

It isn’t offside, however much you think it might be.

He’s hailed as some revolutionary for buying Onana to try and play out from the back by signing a keeper who likes the ball at his feet. City have been doing this since 2016, Liverpool have been doing it for some time as well. Nothing has changed and they haven’t taken a step forward this summer, they will get killed when they have to play every few days when the champions league group stages happen.

You say that now because we are winning stuff, but put your feet in a forest or wolves fans shoes.
The difference in officiating is palpable.
Imagine going into a game against utd knowing your team is not as good as theirs, and you hope that you will get some rub of the green off the ref, maybe a pen, maybe a sending off for them to even things up.... but, no. It always goes the rags way.
I honestly don't know if I would continue watching football if I had to suffer blatant cheating (which we do) and not win stuff (which we do).

Every club’s fans think the officiating is against them. We won the treble and yet still had thousands of pages of bile about refereeing.
