Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

[Bullens Rd]

Liverpool be frothing at the mouthes watching this. lol

 

[Zezti]

Cos the ball went towards him and he was in an offside position before he engaged the ball.

Doesn't matter, Villa player controls it and is in possession of it.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Mask slipped badly there Mcmanaman

 

[Ducans elbow]

nice

 

[Bullens Rd]

Great penalty by Bernardo Silva there.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Tackled from behind/offside position though.

Not surprised Villa went ballistic. I just assumed it would be ruled out realtime.

Had the Villa player knocked it backwards and the city player got it and scored he not offside, same thing

 

[PITA]

McManamanmanmanman, is talking an awful lot of bollocks tonight.

 

[Blues Harp]

Cos the ball went towards him and he was in an offside position before he engaged the ball.

Oh dear...how sad...nevermind lol

 

[Zezti]

It's the same phase of play. He's gained an advantage from being in an offside position when the ball comes towards him.

It's nailed on, 100% offside.

Nah

 

[R.Reddington]

McManamanmanmanman, is talking an awful lot of bollocks tonight.

He talks bollocks every time he’s on mate,

 

[Tubey]

Surely this - he's offside for the first pass. Once Ming's starts buggering about its the next phase of play - nothing to see here.

Nope it's the same phase of play because he's still the intended target of the pass. It's like saying a player can't be offside, even if he's 20 yards offside, if there's a deflection off a defender on the way to him - makes no odds.

 

[Homer Jay]

How can Mcmanaman dispute that penalty? Go home and cry into your RS pillow case

 

[Ducans elbow]

Had the Villa player knocked it backwards and the city player got it and scored he not offside, same thing

Yep he was onside when he got the ball so all good

No, you can't start bringing the word 'intent' into offsides. Stop that immediately.

 

[Old Blue 2]

He wasn't though.

He's still offside when the tackle is put in.

No he wasn't take a look here. Look at the cut of the grass just in front of the Villa & City player, then reference the City player and the Two Villa full backs. At the point of tackle, they are further towards their own goa line than the City player, ergo no offside.
