Apprently rules were amended for this very situation. You literally have to block a defender or touch the ball otherwise it isn’t offside.
You not understanding the rule doesn’t make it incorrect. Personally I want the offside rules binned but it is what it is.
Horrible decision. City we’re robbed there. Farcical to be honest.
Did it effect Ederson knowing he wasn't gonna touch it?
But it's not though. That's not the rule otherwise the flag would have went straight up against salah during the week as well because he was offside and interfering
It is the rule, look at the last page. A ref fecking up elsewhere doesn't mean this one wasn't a feck up as well
He was in no man's land anyway. The rules are fecked up,they give the possibility for these sort of decisions
Yep not one of those apply in this situation. By the rules it's a goal. The rules are probably wrong though.
interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or
interfering with an opponent by:
preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
challenging an opponent for the ball or
clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or
making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball
or
gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with an opponent when it has:
rebounded or been deflected off the goalpost, crossbar or an opponent
been deliberately saved by any opponent
These are the current rules Jev posted, so Ederson is running out see's Rashford running onto and then shaping to shoot the ball and it doesn't qualify for the bolded?
I mean it is what it is, and United created the better chances over 90 minutes but saying thats not offside to that bolded part is simply not true. Anyway I'm too depressed, enjoy the win buddy, if Spurs do us both a favor tomorrow you guys are back in the title picture.
Rashford had left the ball alone by the time Ederson had to make the save. Look, it's very debatable but I don't think you can point at anything in those rules to make it a clear error.
That's how I saw it. Hopefully they change it.
He could do a double inverted heelflip for all I care, the rules, as stupid as they are, are rules, and just because 90% of this forum is ignorant of the rules and/or trolling pissed of opposition fans, again doesn't make you right.
Which specific part applies? Quote it for me please so we are looking at the same thing and I'll re assess if necessary
What opponent was effected to play the ball though? No one was close
The thing @padr81 bolded applies here, at least in my opinion
He clearly interfered with both defenders and goalkeeper. If you don't think he was active I'd suggest you get some glasses but I think that's probably the issue here. You're wearing red tinted ones already.
I just saw it again, the defender is nowhere near the ball behind Marcus. There is no interference, if you haven’t seen it go watch it again. The defender gives up running about 3 yards behind Marcus ffs
I don't think it does. There wasn't a defender close to it at all imo.
Look it reality it should probably be offside but I don't think any of those laws apply here. Its a rule issue imo
Howd did he? Neither are close to the ball and walker didn't get across Bruno let alone to rashford
It’s farcical but it’s correct under the current rules.
After being fecked over by the refs for disallowing legit goals for handball, I'll take one feck up in our favor.
The goalkeeper is completely influenced by it, watch Ederson shape to go right because it looks like Rashford is gonna hit it with his left. Not that he had any reason to be out there in the first place. Anyway bud I have a feeling we'll be talking in circles, enjoy the 3 points.
Rashford being between Akanji and the ball clearly prevents the defender from attempting to clear the ball, it's pretty obvious he slows down because he doesn't want to touch Rashford and risk a red, it totally applies.
He wasn't close to the ball at all though? If he was right on rashfords shoulder I'd agree.
I'll say it again, I think it probably should be offside but I don't think any of the rules have been broken here.
No, Ederson was an idiot who got himself in no man's land again after the 1st half and he was punished this time with a good finish.
Walker could easily have run across Bruno and challenged him but he runs right past him towards the goal because he's expecting Rashford to shoot. No defender is going to contest Bruno in that instance.
Even if you want to argue he doesn't impact the defenders, you cannot say the same for the keeper. Ederson is miles off his line because he's coming out to close down Rashford who is running on to the ball.
Keepers closing the ball down from where it’s struck. You know you’re wavering a bit with this point!
That’s not on Rashfords side. He doesn’t interrupt Walkers stride. That bad bit of defending is on Walker, not Rashford.
I'm not saying it's cut and dry onside, but I can easily see how he's deemed not to interfere.
Referee got this wrong. Pretty much everyonw agrees.
I love attention when some things go our way. Always blown out of propotion. Always past footballers who have something to tweet just to stay relevant.
Have we seen same energy when we have been on other side of those decisions wich is 90% of times? Or have we seen for example same energy when Wolverhampton got their goal disalowed for nothing against Liverpool?

Thank god it's against City so everyone is on board with them getting robbed but please don't act like this goal is right in any shape or form 
We can keep going so. The keeper clearly is expecting Rashford to hit it when he draws his leg back, not a single pundit and even 90% of this forum will agree with me on this.
Doesn't matter. It still makes him active and interfering with the play.
Having watched it again, I think it's quite clear that Akanji would clear it fairly easily if Rashford wasn't there too.
Fantastic decision by VAR and ref after a premature flag. Rules don't care about your feelings
90 percent of this forum continues to cry about rules and offsides despite being wrong by the letter of the law time and time again.
Most of this forum wanted to let Rashford leave on a free last summer so don’t be telling me to listen to them!
Rules say otherwise so nobody cares about what people think is right. Blame the rule.Thank god it's against City so everyone is on board with them getting robbed but please don't act like this goal is right in any shape or form
Don’t remember this amount of crying from people who don’t support either side when Liverpool robbed wolves the other week.
He gives up running because he sees Rashford is getting it 1st. Wasn't Rashford in the play, he'd try to intercept it on its way to Bruno. How is that not interfering? It totally changed the shape of the defensive intervention.
You're enjoying this too much.We'll see how Dermot Gallaghers mental gymnastics play out when he tries to explain it.
Yep. No fecking body was complaining when Lisandro's unintentional handball was given in the Sociedad game and because of that we have to play Barcelona and 2 extra games.
