It is the rule.

Remember that goal Sancho scored against Chelsea on the break where Rashford was doing Rashford things and standing offside, so Sancho couldn't pass to him.
I've had another look based on another post where they said Gordon was behind the ball and so wasn't offside.

That's true, a player who's behind the ball can't be offside but it doesn't matter which direction the ball travels. It's just that quite often in that situation the ball is passed backwards so people assume that is the deciding factor.

I'm not sure he was behind the ball though but apparently they couldn't determine the point of contact where it came off Joelinton, according to Neville just now, so couldn't rule it out.

As an aside I wouldn't be making any conclusions based on what Sancho did or didn't do!

He's shocked to see a yellow after the third time he shoved someone with his arm.

I have a feeling Bruno Guimarães is being given performance enhancing drugs used for camels by the Saudis.

Newcastle players are definitely on something, it has been clear for months.

Didn't used to be this way tbh.
In fairness United used to get the rub of the green far more than they didn’t.

110% any United player wouldn’t be on the pitch if they did what Bruno g has done this match, it’s not even debatable or playing the victim.

If we're going to get shafted by the ref, at least it's in a game we were not realistically going to win. Bring on next week and our free penalties :angel:

Expecting a late Arsenal goal to deflect off someone's arse here.
