or he who should not be mentioned sat somewhere near the feet of 6' 6" De Gea as the ball sailed past him, not touching him in any way or trying to play the ball.

I seem to have offended you I'm sorry. I wasn't saying you were wrong, I just thought you'd be able to give me your interpretation of the rule(s).

What's wild is we're not even dealing with those millimeter var lines. He's just offside, naked eye and everything. It isn't even remotely controversial. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Surely this isn't a good faith argument and I'm just missing something.

FIFA issued a circular back in July attempting to clarify the difference between "deliberate play" and "deflection" :

If you click the link at the bottom of that it gives video examples of both, the one closest to what happened with Coady's goal is probably number 13. A player stretches to block a cross, gets a little bit on it and it goes to a player in an offside position. That doesn't meet FIFA's criteria for "deliberate play".

Really confused by people still pretending he was onside, it’s not healthy.

VAR has ruined the emotion of football. That’s it’s biggest crime.
I never celebrate a goal anymore. Get rid of it.

But are they the REAL highlights or a version served up by a company whose interest is served by 'the brands' never losing. We are fighting Big Soccer.

That's because we hardly score any!

It was offside, not one of the closer ones either tbh. Mane had a last second winner ruled out on a far tighter call.

I don't think it's that, it's more that those calls generally get allowed for the bigger teams. Sure they may have one dodgy or tight decision go against them every now and then, but the times whereby they benefit from hugely tight calls far outweighs those they lose out on.
Us, definitely the opposite. Just from the past few years we've had utterly scandalous calls such as the 'offside' Sigurdsson goal versus United, the Rodri handball, the Gordon non-penalty at Anfield last year to name just a few.
Another would be Gray's goal last week when Rashford had an almost identical call given in his favour. The Gray one was just dismissed with seemingly little effort taken by the officials to give it a real look.
If we get the Gray goal and either the Coady goal or van Dijk rightfully gets sent off, we could easily be sitting on 8 or 9 points now and would have a completely different outlook for the season already.

Yeah, the picture I was looking at was photo shopped, the highlights you can see the replay matches what you see in open play
Before I post this , I am not American , my family are scousers , and I still live in Lancashire.
All this is irrelevant anyway.
If we are going to have some form of video accountability (which I think that we should have) it should not hold up the natural flow of the game.
That said , we need to be able to hold referees to account (historically the best example is the "world best" Clive Thomas , all those years ago).
In the NFL , a coach has a red flag that he can throw on the pitch to challenge a major decision , for each half. If you challenge incorrectly , then you lose your flag for that half. If you are successful , then you get it back.
Surely that is a better system than the current idiocy ?.
