Yep, shocking. Who would have thought. Must be a conspiracy.Was that for real? Rooney massively offside for the first and blatant dive for pen.

Not gonna argue about the dive, but on the first one he didn't block the goalkeepers line of sight or touch the ball, so I don't see how he's at fault?
Watched the game in a pub full of ABU's tonight. What a great history there is behind Preston NE and their ground looks decent enough. The game was half decent. A lot of pluses, bit more pace, but like many of late, finding it hard to establish a rhythm. Rooney, Young (when he came on), Herrera and Valencia did well, as did Blind and Rojo, and Smalling was ok. Di Maria was slightly good. Had a quick look at this thread when I came home and thought I was back in the pub. While it's fine for the odd opposition supporter in here (what are they doing here on matchday anyway?) to moan, we have supposed United supporters, insisting Rooney is interfering with play for the first goal .... (listen, if he does deflect it into the goal, it's disallowed, so he cleverly and deliberately avoids the ball, get it?), and various moans and complaints for the other goals as well. If half the Caf was planted in the Kop the next time United play in Anfield the Liverpool fans wouldn't bat an eyelid. They won't even notice.He wasn't "at fault", in fact he did very well in the situation. But he almost touched the ball and I thought it was harsh on the keeper, who must have been anticipating a ricochet.
How exactly is discussing an offside rule objectively the same as moaning about the team?Watched the game in a pub full of ABU's tonight.

Yeah.. And Rooney should have been red carded for the Fellaini goal..No debate is right. Rooney was offside and dived for the pen. Anyone who denies it is an idiot.
I'm talking one game. The last game we played. We came out a lot quicker from the traps and clearly looked to go for that early goal.
Go back and watch the game again and you'll see exactly what I mean. Apologies if it doesn't fit with your woe is me, United are shit and it's all Van Gaal's fault campaign.

You know by the rule book it wasn't offside and it was a pen, criticize the rulebook if you want but the ref got them spot onNo debate is right. Rooney was offside and dived for the pen. Anyone who denies it is an idiot.

I'm no fan of "passive" off-side and never have been. A retired footballer I know once said to me, "If a player in an advanced position is not interfering with play what the hell is he doing on the pitch?"No debate is right. Rooney was offside and dived for the pen. Anyone who denies it is an idiot.
Rooney wasn't offside and it was a penalty regardless of his dive.No debate is right. Rooney was offside and dived for the pen. Anyone who denies it is an idiot.
Anyone who denies that is an idiot.And Pete is an idiot.
Rooney is in the line of the shot on moves out of the way. You can call this an active action an judge offside.
The 2nd in NO foul, in no competition and escpecially not in the FA Cup and with Davies not being sent off. We don't complain that lower teams play rough and they wouldn't want to claim a foul here!
For the pen: It's a dive, no doubt but it makes no difference if he jumps over him or gets chopped down by the keeper. So he didn't dive to get an advantage he not deserves, he would have got that pen anyway if he stayed on his feet only with the difference of a potential injury.
what game were you watching?Falcao still played way better than Rooney but he somehow gets to stay on the pitch every time.
I'm a fan of Falcao and he was the worst player on the pitch yesterday.what game were you watching?
Rooney isn't in line with the shot. If he was in line, he would have had to jump out of the way or it would have hit him. Rooney may have been in the goalkeepers peripheral sight but that's a gray area. Some you win some you lose.
Doesn't the rule say "Interfering the opponent" rather than "Influencing the game by moving"?http://livetv.sx/de/showvideo/233270_preston_manchester_utd/
Rooney clearly moves back his arse. He so has an influence on the game = offside.

as fas as I know it is enough being in the line of the shot. He could touch the ball and forces the keeper to make a decision which is viewed as "interfering"
I dont see how Rooney was distracting anyone... If you say that the keeper was distracted because Rooney was in the box, then I dont have anything to say.distracts an opponent
that's the point with being in the line of the shot.
There have been thoundsands of situation where a free kick is flying in the box. The keeper has to make a decision wheter to stay on the line or go for the ball. Players in offside position are judged offside when near the ball even without touching it. This is similar. A player doesn't have to touch the ball to be offside!

As he didn't touch the ball it doesn't matter if the goalkeeper thought he might go for it. Thats what the rule states.
That's utter nonsense!
Read the 2nd part of my post again and you have the answer. It's not about view
Read the rest of me me and you have the answer. If the ball touched him or rebounded to him he'd habe been offside and the keeper has to assume just that.
