Villa (H) Post Match Thread

It’s not Rodri’s fault at all.

But Mings should be fully entitled to turn towards his own goal without interference from an offside player.

The moment Rodri prevents Mings from doing so he is interfering with play.

Rodri didn’t interfere with play when he was in the offside position. He actually wasn’t anywhere near him:

Then as soon as Mings deliberately controls the ball (chested it) (where Rodri is still not interfering with play), he starts a new phase of play and the offside is cancelled.



And only then did Rodri win the ball off him.

If Rodri had challenged for the ball before Mings chested it, he would have been offside, but he didn’t.

At the end of the day we were the better team and deserved it. Villa gave us a good game but we were better and scored two goals that were well within the rules of the game.

Rodders’ stats were awesome tonight

Maybe if the dozy twonk wasn't busy chewing gum during a professional football match like a nightclub tart giving it the big I am he would have seen Rodri sneaking in. Fuck him. No one else to blame. Might be a daft law to some but its the law for now. Ergo, its a fuckin goal.

How can it be controversial when its within the laws of the game ? Nothing controversial about it. It just shows BT employ numptys that dont understand the rules of football.

Dean Smith after Rags cheat with a Pogba dive to score the winning goal recently v Villa.
A dubious penalty has lost us the game.

Today after we score a goal that’s deemed correct in accordance to the rule.
sent off, Terry confronts Moss in Tunnel and fuming in interview calling it farcical and the penalty rediculas.

Amazing how upset people get when it happens against us.

28 shots, he should consider himself lucky we have no strikers and how Moss let them esp Grealish get away from late fouls. Grealish should have picked up a few yellows alone. Needs to look in the mirror about his teams own snide tactics

Grealish is a sly dirty fucker,and the rest were constantly fouling.

Moss never once punished the shirt pulling they were doing consistently to slow down our attacking players.

Then the law is bollocks,and yes this board would have been full of people going off their tits about it.

Kid yourself otherwise if you must.

Being in an offside position is not an infringement. If an opposition player last played the ball he renders every person on the other side onside. Doesn't matter where they are or what they were doing. Rodri would not be blown up for offside simply by being nearer the goal than the ball, and then Mings plays the golden touch which lays our 'goalden' egg!

It's controversial 'cos it was our goal that opened the door to three points.

There is 1 basic rule to offside that people seem to have forgotten -

You can only be offside when receiving a teammate's pass in the opposition half.

As soon as that pass is stopped and the opposition has possession, you can't be offside.

How @FantasyIreland and @daztrueblue91 can follow football for decades and not realise you can never be offside when the opposition has the ball is absolutely beyond me.

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.
