Yes, I was thinking the same thing.

Wages shouldn't really be a consideration, we aren't paying 300k a week. The club wouldn't pay stupid money. As for form, if we are having to operate in the loan market, we aren't going to be getting anyone in form. They will be squad filler or out of form players, that we think are quality and can turn it on. Remember Tielemans, slated at Monaco. Walks in the door here and was a revelation. We need someone in to cover asap. I'll have a top quality player who doesn't chase as much, over someone who runs around a lot and not much else. January is difficult to deal in, e

People actually turning their noses up at Christan Eriksen.

A Spurs outcast? He wanted to leave them, not them wanting rid of him.

We can think like that in the the summer.

Does it say a the bottom "Unless we get a massive cut of the profits".

Because it's Villa, if that was against Liverpool god help us.

If only that was mentioned in the laws so clearly and not three pages of ifs, buts and maybes to caveat off dozens of scenarios. It's written like that and gets changed, because people see things like this, it raises questions and then they add a caveat. This year they added: "Law 11 – Offside Deliberate handball by a defending player is considered ‘deliberate play’ for offside". They'll have added that because at some point, a defender handled the ball, it went to a player and he's been flagged for offside. So yeah, you can read the caveats and by the laws call him o

Fair point, f*** em.

I don't know, I've read and re-read the rules and I'm not sure it even covers this scenario. This is the rule: "A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent." As I said earlier. He didn't receive the ball, he went and took the ball. To anyone talking about a player blocking a cross and getting a toe on it, that's classed as a "deliberate save".

Nothing in the rules states a thing about "new phase".

The problem I have is the following: This is the rule: "A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent." He didn't receive the ball, he went and took the ball. It didn't flick off Ming's head, go behind him and end up at the players foot. So that needs clarifying.

I think most had an understanding of the rule, but now and again an incident happens that that highlights a problem with it. I don’t know how anyone could watch that and not have a problem with it.

Could understand that if it were a few seconds. He barely got the chance to even get it under control.

How on earth can that be given. Ludicrous.
