Wasn't offside. It's just we're so used to the whistle going if there's any doubt that we're actually surprised if a player is level with the defender when the pass is made and play continues. Didn't the rule used to be the shoulders had to be clear of that of the opponents or am imagining a bit of bullshit?

 

It wasn't so long ago that they kept talking about having to see daylight between the last defender and the forward and that the advantage should always be in the attacker's favour but I've yet to see too many following this rule.

That was never at any point a rule though. The daylight thing was a fallacy invented by pundits. Much like the "if you have your hands away from your body or they're in an unnatural position it's a handball" which is another fallacy invented by pundits.

Law of the game is that you are in an offside position if a part of your body with which it is legal for you to score with is in an offside position. They got rid of the 'daylight' rule at least 5 years ago.

Vardy looks like Michael Schumacher, particularly in the bottom left one lol

Yeah he does! I didn't know Lee Evans worked for the FA either! lol

Exactly why I said Lineker's comments were "taken out of context" at the top of this page.

Yes, I did notice but I'm on a phone so I can't multiquote. I chose that one because it had more detail about what he said. Not that it made any difference as there were still people saying he said it.

Who would have ever thought that Man U fans wouldn't be confident of beating little old Leicester??

I'm more shocked at the humility shown by a group of fans who coined the term, 'not arrogant, just better'.

Liked this comment...

"Most intriguing game of the season... Complete opposites

- A shit defence versus a shit attack, a good attack versus a good defence , that's only actually good because the attack is so shit.

- Leicester play very open and direct and concede a lot of possession, United play very tight, short and hog possession.

- Leicester have the most in form striker in the country, United have the most out of form striker in the country.

- You've got one team that cost about 500 million to put together and yet play the worse football in the division and then you've got the other team which cost about 30 million to put together who play arguably the most exciting football in the division."

I tried but I switched off in solidarity for the guy in the red chair desperately trying to raise the IQ of the room and getting shouted down by yet another terrible attempt at humour by a man who can't conceive of Vardy scoring a goal against Man Utd because of the team's name.
