Villa player took the ball under control, new phase of play. Second bullet point didn’t happen

It's not a new phase of play because the intended target is the player offside who challenges for the ball.

Give you an example - say there's a through ball, attacker a yard offside, but defender chases back, gets a touch first then the attacker nicks it off him.

The attacker is still offside as soon as he takes the ball. That happens every week.

I have no clue what you're talking about mate - the lad is coming from a position 20 yards offside when the ball is played, which is when offside actually is measured; not when it arrives to the intended target.

That screenshot means the square sum of sod all.

Once a player moves into an onside position, i.e. he has two or more opponents between him and the opposition goal line, he then becomes onside again. He is free to take part in the game again, surely? If that is not the case, then someone coming from an offside position would remain 'offside' for, how long? You tell me. 5 seconds, 10, 15, 20. When are they classed 'onside' again?

Is not offside measured against the last time a 'defender' plays the ball (i.e. the Villa outfield player)?

You'd never have thought McManaman actually played for City listening to him.

If the defender is unaware of the player, yes.

You guys do realise offside is about the attacking team playing the ball, right? Not to protect against errors by the defending team.

Ming's was unaware of the player....

I just want to see Everton, it's been so long =(

It’s not long at all, but it weirdly seems like ages !

I think you're very confused as to what the discussion is about mate.

Another law completely open to interpretation - very likely would have been given offside had it have been for Villa.

mings touched the ball once on his chest before he was tackled by Rodri. “Took the ball under control”? I beg to differ.

Anyone know when the second leg of the Covid Cheaters Cup final is to be played? I like City's chances heading to Villa Park up two goals.

 

[Nymzee]

It’s offside.

Watershed moment in football according to Ex-RS Michael Owen.

Watch the replay again. He actually plays it with his left foot before being dispossessed.

Ming's was unaware of the player....

Mings literally turns around and sees him

The ref, linesman and VAR don’t

You'd never have thought McManaman actually played for City listening to him.

Having listened to him quite a lot I'm guessing that he played for the RS.
