  • a player moving from, or standing in, an offside position is in the way of an opponent and interferes with the movement of the opponent towards the ball this is an offside offence if it impacts on the ability of the opponent to play or challenge for the ball; if the player moves into the way of an opponent and impedes the opponent's progress (e.g blocks the opponent) the offence should be penalised under Law 12
Or blame a defender for not leathering it into the stands like a Sunday league player just to be safe or if any player sneaks up behind him.

But in this case, Mings wasn't moving toward the goddamn ball, he already had it. He chested it down and took a touch with his left foot. That indicates control, which means a new "phase of play" and that renders any discussion of offside moot.

It wasn't offside mate, Ming's was at fault, end of story.

Rodri runs towards the ball that was played forward. He's active. He's offside.

Ming's intercepts. Rodri still engages with the ball.

The next phase of play is Ming's releasing the ball. Ming's doesn't do that as he's tackled therefore "this is an offside offence if it impacts on the ability of the opponent (Ming's) to play or challenge for the ball; if the player (Rodri) moves into the way of an opponent (Ming's) and impedes the opponent's progress (e.g blocks the opponent Mings) the offence should be penalised under Law 12.

As mentioned before...if that was Watkins v Stones...you think they're gonna make the same decision?

You’re wrong mate, get over it. Think it happened to me once, she’s still sat here 40 years later ...

So now you've changed the goalposts. Instead of "moving toward the ball" it's "play or challenge for the ball." Which is it? And if you look at the replay, MINGS PLAYED THE BALL. His ability to do so was not impacted by Rodri.
