Offside is to stop players goal hanging, not for interfering with play. The only time Rodri interferes with play, is when he is onside. It does not matter what part of the pitch Rodri comes from. Mings had control of the ball and therefore Rodri could not be offside.Those two still frames actually sum up the point I’m trying to make. That the ground he’s made up ‘should’ constitute interfering with play.
Either way it’s a very intelligent move from Rodri to wait for that precise moment to challenge for the ball.
All Mings had to do was to leave the ball run through to Rodri. Rodri couldn't play the ball, or even move towards it as he was at least 10 yards offside in that scenario.Absolute this Mings could have headed it clear but the big headed get that he is took it on his chest because he thinks he’s John Stones. He’s not the rest is history.
I was thinking all though the game sooner or later that he would fuck up. You can’t have the luck he had with all those blocks without some payback
Only on here ...Quite bizarre that some are arguing about a CORRECT offside decision in a game we WON.
In that case every goal scored from a back pass from a defender to a striker who was in an "offside" position for the last 90 years or so would have to be dissallowed????????????????????? The rule has been the same for years, Aguero scored from an "offside" position when Barkley headed the ball back towards his own goal last season.Rodri gained 20 odd yards on Mings before he touched the ball. He was in the perfect position to dispossess him due to the run he had made from an offside position.
My argument isn’t that Rodri was offside because the law states he clearly wasn’t, it’s that the law should change so Rodri should be offside.
Totally agreeFück
Off
You cheating cnuts
BT commentators are a fcuking disgrace.
I’d love it if we signed him and Haaland. We’d win everything if we did.Anyone else think Grealish although a brilliant player has a nasty streak in him ? I suppose all great players do. Just hope he hadn’t hurt Kev too bad with that extra little bit on the follow through.
A brummie accent?lol, he’s not all bad Moss, is he? ;-)
I would love to know what he said to warrant the red though.
Grealish......oh please noI’d love it if we signed him and Haaland. We’d win everything if we did.
The BBC are as a full cohort! Let’s see MOTD have to say...Quite bizarre that some are arguing about a CORRECT offside decision in a game we WON.
Everything goes through him, take him out of that side the attacking play is halfedGrealish......oh please no
Back in the day. Rodri would have been offside. He interfered with play.I think you mix that up with a player in a passive offside position is irritating the keeper when he moves towards the ball.
In this case of passive offside the keeper isn't involved. Rodri can move where he wants as long as Mings has a controlled ball touch first.
I don’t think it was the Grealish tackle, I think he has done his hamstring. He was running forward chasing a ball, he pulls up and raises his hand. He tries to play on, but comes off. Can’t see that being his ankle with the game on the line, unless it’s bad. Ankle joint is one of those where you can run off an impact, but not ligaments.Anyone else think Grealish although a brilliant player has a nasty streak in him ? I suppose all great players do. Just hope he hadn’t hurt Kev too bad with that extra little bit on the follow through.
Let's stop being entitled. We are a much better team than villa, we know that, they know that. What is the best way to beat us, sit deep and hit us on the break, it has worked for others and is pretty much the only thing that has worked the last few years. So it is up to us to work out a way round that, and today we managed that.never give credit to a team hell bent on parking the bus and hit you on the break
also wasting time and slowing the game down and villa got what they deserver fuck all
