Rival watch

Rumours have been circling for some time that Roman is discussing terms with.............................................................Avram Grant

 

Chelsea could have signed Trump for a song!!!!?

 

I'd offer my services, but I'm mainly playing Frostpunk instead of Football Manager at the moment, so some of my coaching advice might not be appreciated...

 

You never win anything with kids (working in the sawmills)

 

rcl to ensure Klopp keeps his hole shut re Spurs PL title chances ...

 

Or the Nomads' chances of avoiding relegation...

 

How isn’t offside given for that goal?

 

**** officials?

 

So they will give offside if you’re a finger nail ahead but you can be miles off if you’re coming from an offside position?

No way would that goal stand if Villa had scored it

 

It's just a poor decision. Peter Walton said as much and he never contradicts them.
Miles offside, trots back and tackles Mings, who never has it under complete control. Simple decision.

 

And then a penalty too and Citeh go top.

It’s better to be lucky than good it seems

 

How the flying **** is that not offside

 

Not in the script.

 

The rule probably needs to be changed, but by the letter of the law currently, it was the correct decision to allow the goal.

 

Because Skyte Sports had the tweet taken down for copyright violations?

 

Completely agree. It was a deliberate touch by Mings and the City player didn't challenge him for the ball before that. So he doesn't get penalised for being offside.

 

He was offside when the ball was played.
This is something I never understand. If that ball is played in for a freekick, the ref goes according to this rule. By the time the ball arrives to the players , there could be a whole load of defenders in front of the attacker, but he is called offside when the ball is played.
The ball was not played by Mings to Silva(?), he tackled him from coming to him from behind. Had he been in front of him, Mings would have played it differently.

It's all down to interpretation

 

There are now two whole pages of explanations in the Laws on offside. Being Offside isn't an offence. A player receiving a ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball isn't penalised for being offside unless it is a 'save'. Mings chested the ball down and Rodri hadn't challenged him before that so Rodri isn't penalised for being offside. This is crystal clear and not open to interpretation. It is also bonkers.

 

He challenges him before the ball's even hit the ground. The rules aren't consistently applied in the way that they were here.
