    lots of silly rules, last year v Liverpool they scored from a penalty, but if we'd let them score from the shot they'd had to get the penalty it would've been disallowed for hand-ball.

    It’s not an interpretation it’s just the rules. If it just bounces off the defender it’s offside as he’s not been in control of the ball. It’s akin to a striker standing 5 yards off the keeper as he throws it out forwards to a CB, who then miscontrols the ball and the striker gets back and robs him.

    And this is one of the problems with VAR imo. Football is an imperfect game, it was never intended to have every character of the rules closely scrutinised to the point of ignoring common sense.

    Lookman even has time to have a gander behind him and see that there's no Utd defender within 10 yards of him

    And if you try to block a cross, then you're deliberately playing the ball if you manage to get contact on it.

    What about a keepers save? Pretty sure that's a deliberate attempt to play the ball. They're not given if a player was offside when shot was taken.

    except they never apply that rule like that. Whenever a winger is offside and then the full back controls it and gets challenged afterwards they always flag it.

    Theorectically, until the challenge comes in even if it's a milisecond before the defender controls it then its legal which is just nonsense common sense would dictate

    No you’re trying to stop a cross coming in, you’re not deliberately playing the ball whilst in control of it.

    I think there's actually an exempting for saves, which includes any kind of block of an effort on goal.

    It doesn't say anything about being in control of it.
