If he doesn't touch it, then how is he offside?
Some quality takes in here.
Didn't even touch the ball.
We lost against Tottenham because of referees.
We lost against Arsenal because of referees.
They have done a lot during other games to make it difficult for us.
ABU
You don't need to touch the ball to be ruled offside and that's been the rule in football for probably your whole lifetime.
It's 100% offside and you'd be asking for it every time if we conceded that.
Move on.
Move on.
2 weeks ago City had their goal stand where Rodri stood in front of the goalkeeper. That's where the annoyance comes from. Understandable annoyance considering the VAR calls this season.
Point to one example where a player in an offside position was clearly interfering with DDG and the goal stood.
We've been fecked a lot of times this season but this time it was the correct decision.
He doesn't need to have touched it.
You sound like someone from RAWK. When they were shit all they did was moan about corrupt refs
He’s clearly interfearing with the goalkeeper, clear offside. Just because they bottled making the right decision when it was Manchester City doesn’t mean they should cock up all decisions
Law 11. If you are in an offside position and you interfere with play (which he did by impeding the keeper), it's an offside offence.
I guess I'm wondering why not check for interference.
Yeah, fair enough. I missed a lot of the check.
But why? Hojlund stopped wrestling the keeper and moved just as Johnny headed it. It’s so stupidly close to the keeper that we talking less than a second here.
Hojlund wrestling the keeper doesn’t matter until that spilt second Evans heads it
Remember the Xhaka goal where De Gea had to peer around the offside striker to see the shot… and was deemed to not have interfered
Right. There are some nuances to the offside rule that have changed recently but that bit has been the rule basically forever. I'm surprised there's so much confusion here over it.
He doesn't. But he was not in keepers sight. No way keeper is going to save it. Shocking decision once again. You can call it someone from RAWK. The truth is in front of us. We had so many decisions against us when same kind of things happen for other teams without any problems.
I don’t think that gets overturned if Burnley score it
Law 11a. If you are playing against Manchester United and in an offside position and you interfere with play (which he did by impeding the keeper), it's not an offside offence YAWN.
You don't have to be in the sight... You just have to be impacting him. He's clearly impacting him.
Why?
So you're saying refs are genuinely corrupt and guilty of match fixing?
You are correct. Please see law 11a for further clarity.
He put the keeper off while in an offside position. I can’t stand attackers standing next to the keeper to do exactly that. Ironically it’s exactly what teams like Burnley used to do to De Gea
Of course he is not. He stands beside him after goalkeeper pushed him.
It’s the right decision but come on, of course you see these types of goals given regularly.
Rules change week by week. It's fecking stupid.
Yes. But the rule for this case is interfering with an opponent, not with play.
If Burnley had scored that, they would have been given two goals instead of one.
Im sorry but that was the correct decision as the keeper was being impeded by our player who was in an offside position.
Usually teams have defenders at the posts at corners in which case the striker would not be offside.
Frustrating when you see the goal City had allowed the other week that was way more in line than this.
He’s putting him off before the header though? He’s let go and moving away when the ball comes in to the point the ball goes between the two.He put the keeper off while in an offside position. I can’t stand attackers standing next to the keeper to do exactly that. Ironically it’s exactly what teams like Burnley used to do to De Gea
I think posters are getting blinded by the replay of Hojlund wrestling the keeper up until the header, 99 percent of it doesn’t apply here.
Maybe I’m wrong but it’s incredibly harsh imo
It improves plenty, even if it's still far from perfect. People remember the controversies, and not the many decisions which are simply correct.
City the other week.
Because h wasn’t impacting on the gk sight, the gk had no chance if he wasn’t there….in fact it wouldn’t even have been looked at and nobody would question it.
The City goal was universally considered a mistake that shouldn't happen. Are some of you arguing that all goals in a similar situation should stand this whole season because there's been a mistake one time?
I can list more wrong than right for us this season. It's about the same as when we didnt have it, only it slows down matches and means celebrations are muted.
But he’s still in an offside position when the header happens. You can’t just move half a yard and the goalkeeper suddenly isn’t thinking about you.
When xhaka scored against De Gea, Nketiah was offside blocking the keepers view. VAR is a joke. They pick and choose what to award.
