IFAB/FIFA Laws of the Game 2024/25, page 110:

I love that you went to all that effort to prove me right. Read LITERALLY the next sentence and come back to me.

Advantage
If the referee plays the advantage for an offence for which a caution/sending-off would have been issued had play been stopped, this caution/sending-off must be issued when the ball is next out of play. However, if the
offence was denying the opposing team an obvious goal-scoring opportunity, the player is cautioned for unsporting behaviour; if the offence was interfering with or stopping a promising attack, the player is not cautioned.

And without Collyer

Indeed. Young Master Collyer is doing well in his breakout season. Watch that goal line clearance again: Onana's feet are still moving when he should have already been planted to attack the ball. He just casually watches the ball as it almost goes into his net. fecking hell.

His conversion rate must be quite high.

He's a good striker and passer of the ball. His ball to Amad v City. His goal v Liverpool. His cross to Bruno v Rangers and almost scoring another screamer, and now tonight. 2 goals & 2 assists from defence in the past 2 months is a decent return.

Long term I'm not sure it's enough to make up for his defensive deficiencies, but while he's playing we need to get him further up the field because he seems more effective than most of our attackers!

Top marks from our fans.
Their non-stop support was better than our performance on the pitch.

This match also shows the importance of not making any brain fart mistakes at the back, which we have made far too many recently. If we keep it tight at the back, we can still get results even if we are not free scoring.

You are right.

I quoted the whole paragraph, then edited it just to be shorter. I was so convinced that the rule was still as it was in the past that I had not even read it before copying/pasting it. Obviously, it has been extended/reformulated for some reason.

It does not make sense to me either. Do you know when it was amended/introduced in this version?

I did not make "all that effort" to prove you wrong or right. Only thought that a quote from the official rules book could be interesting and useful for everyone.

This is a classic one where you just have to be happy about the result. 1 shot on target is just pathetic.

Is it just me or is Zirkzee much better when he comes off the bench? I know funds are limited and the focus is on LWB, but man do we need a 9 in the worst way.

What, by 1mm ? its fecking shit.

But thems the rules. You can't make it subjective it's got to be binary. But it's frustrating at times; but same for both teams.

I was more annoyed that in the first half it seemed that Fulham were doing a lot of pulling and holding off the ball.

He's a big lumbering 6'4 guy. His stamina probably isn't the best so he may look better coming on with fresh legs against defenders who are tiring a bit.

Past few games I've been noticing a lot of pulling of shirts to stop attacking plays, I was fairly sure it was an automatic card for a shirt pull but none were given.worst being on amad in front of lino against arsenal I think

This is what troubles me about the offside decision today. We all know — or maybe this is no longer the case — that an arm cannot be offside. However, an arm — and perhaps this is no longer the case — plays you onside.

If the line is drawn from the tip of the defender’s hand, Amad is clearly onside. But if it’s drawn from the defender’s shoulder, then Amad is clearly offside.

When did it become the case that the line is now drawn from the shoulder, or foot, of the defender and not the furthest part of the defender’s body, whatever it may be?

Agree, it was a master display of support, they sang from start to finish and you could hear it so clearly even the biased commentators had to say something. Well done travelling fans you were a +factor in getting us over the line..

Once again impressed with how Collyer is developing; Martinez MOTM, Harry Maguire magnificent once again; but worrying about Hojlund, he has a difficult job, but he is still being 'bested' by CB's, in high ball situations.... almost with ease.

The rule is this: Every bodypart that is allowed to touch the ball can be off side. You are allowed to score with your shoulder. Therefore the line is drawn at the shoulder in this case. The arm is irrelevant.

What I'm saying is that until the last 7-8 years Amad would not have been offside due to the arm of the defender. The Law itself remains unchanged, but its interpretation has changed. For better or worse is a different discussion.
