One minute VAR is purely wanting Liverpool to win the league (last season) now it's Spurs early on, then Man Utd and now Man City? Come on, stop pulling pissers. It's just shit full stop.

RowlattsFox Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 The referees just trying to save face with this phase of play bollocks. They might have some sort of small print that says that can be onside, however common sense tells you that is offside. Hard to have any sympathy for Villa though, dirty bastards.

TheUltimateWinner Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 I actually think that’s onside. The attacker doesn’t interfere until Mings has deliberately played the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably just thought the lino missed an offside as opposed to this 'deliberately played the ball' malarkey. Ha - of course I dont remember ...... ‘you’ was used as any of us, not specifically you my point is it isn’t a new law ... we benefited from it five years ago! Though the reality was that the lino missed Marc being offside! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 (edited) I remember early in the season Leeds were playing someone and Patrick Bamford scored a good goal, only for to be rubbed out because he stuck arm to tell team mate where to put it. I mean how's that an advantage, he's not going to score with his hand is he. Edited 20 January 2021 by Leicesterpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the reason it is given, the rule is lent great though because Rodri clearly forces the mistake from an offside position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 6 minutes ago, st albans fox said: No - you have to wait for the player to deliberately play the ball and then you can challenge them. Defenders should know the laws of the game So you can stand offside, and tackle them as soon as they go to play the ball. You can also stand near the corner flag, have someone chip the ball to the corner flag. As long as the striker doesn't control the ball or try to tackle the defender before they touch it then it's fair game. I'm all for allowing play to continue if a player is offside and doesn't affect the game. Having a rule that allows them to be offside and then directly effect the match within seconds is appalling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could’ve given offside and avoid all controversy. It likely would’ve been seen as a valid decision too. No sympathy for Villa though. It’s Villa.

Popular Post Leicester_Loyal Posted 20 January 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 20 January 2021 Regardless of the decisions I don't think that's a bad result for us, Villa will be about 6th-9th come the end of the season IMO, whereas I think Man City will comfortably be ahead of us. I will not allow myself to be carried away, 6th is still a fantastic season. Fulham getting something against United would be nice. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 20 January 2021 Share Posted 20 January 2021 It's a pony rule and there needs to be some consistency with the ruling on offsides and how it impacts on play. As someone said, you can be half a finger offside and it be ruled out but be 20 yards off not interfering with play until it comes near the defender and sneak up and rip their kegs down and the goal stands. It's a scandalous loophole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to wait for them to have played the ball. If rodri challenges as mings chests it then he is offside. He waits for him to chest it down and then attempts the tackle . And the header forward wasn’t an attempted pass to Rodri anyway - hence it’s different to your corner flat ....there are arguments here which seem to indicate that people want common-sense to be the law ....that would allow for more fiddling of decisions for big clubs to be justified.
