roman_bairn Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I’ve come to the conclusion that there are no laws in the game anymore.Let’s face it, every game we hear about a new interpretation of the law.Irrespective, and with full credit to Villa for their enterprising play, pleased that City got the three points.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, Andy & Richard maybe have some skin in the game but they openly mock the ridiculous decision making and censored reporting and like them or not they've certainly got a point !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He fucking tackles the centre half? No he doesn't, he waits until it's chested down. The Man City player was in an offside position when the ball was played, but did not do anything to prevent the Villa player challenging or playing the ball so it meets none of the criteria for an offside offence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can tell us which part of the offside law makes it an offside offence? A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by: 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, match official or an opponent A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacky1990 Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 It was onside according to the rules. Mings deliberately controlled/touched the ball, meaning it is irrelevant if Rodri is in an offside position or not. Same with the penalty. His hand was above shoulder height and it hit it. Its unlucky, but its still a penalty according to the rules. Personally, I think the rules should be such which means that such incidents are offside. And thats a different debate. But they arent and the refs got it right according to the rules as they currently are. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He challenged the defender before he had the ball under control. I honestly don't understand how it's even open to debate. It's up there with the worst decisions I've ever seen. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the rule. Mings was challenged before he had the ball under control, so it was offside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) He didn't "receive it". It wasn't a misplaced pass or a skewed header. He was challenged and tackled. Edited January 20, 2021 by Busta Nut 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, Rodri sneaked up from behind him and challenged him for the ball, so he was interfering as much as anyone on a football pitch can do and the mistake from Mings was as a direct result of said interference, hence it's an open and shut case. He was OFFSIDE by any sane individuals interpretation of the rules. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't understand how it's even open to debate. It's up there with the worst decisions I've ever seen. Where does it mention anything about the defender having the ball under control? Rodri challenged him after Mings deliberately played the ball, which basically resets the offside. "A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball ... is not considered to have gained an advantage..." If Rodri had stood still in his offside position and Mings went to clear the ball but sliced it behind him, it would be onside as it that's a deliberate play by the defender. So not sure why a defender taking the time to chest the ball down before being challenged would be any different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
