Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Not just saying because it's Man City but if this hasn't been edited, it's embarrassing from the officials...



... these are meant to be professional referees. It's not even close, and to make it worse, Sterling is on the white line to HELP the assistant ffs


Edit; just realised the discussion above about second phase etc.

 

Yep, me and the people that wrote the rule

 

Good to see all the dickheads who scream bloody murder when we benefit from **** linos rush to the defence of City with excerpts from the rulebook.

Also, with regard to second phase: refer to Manes 'offside' goal at emirates. Some consistency would be nice

 

Not sure you should try and side with the rule writers mate, they've not got a clue about actually playing the game

 

Watford made seven changes for today's game against Man City

 

Now seen it... more embarrassing than I first thought. They've seen it but given it anyway!

 

Sterling is looking a much better player these days. Seems to be taking the right options much more regularly.

(not just based on today)

Edit; needs to show he can do it for England too

 

Any chance you can explain your opinion that it was offside using the picture posted by Zanjinho?

 

Assume that should say "wasn't"...?

 

Any chance you could read the law and understand it?

 

The option to be offside is definitely right when you know the ref will overrule his linesman

 

The other two?

 

No because he’s interfering with play. If he’s. It there than the defender doesn’t have the play the ball.

 

You didn't read the rule did you

 

Who cares. The hard part is breaking down the opponents, and that's where PGMOL's been helping them out recently.

 

So you are still refusing to explain how the rule you copied and pasted explains how he is onside in the photo posted by Zanjinho ?
Now then let's look at reasons why you are refusing to explain your answer using the evidence available:
option 1- you don't actually understand the offside rule
or
option 2- ??????

 

I did, and I still don't know what you're getting at.

 

don't worry neither does he?

 

Lol I used to think I was no different after a drinks but reading what I post on here has made me think differently.

 

Read the rule, being in an "off-side" position does not break the law unless you touch the ball or interfere/stop an opponent from touching it. If an opponent then touches the ball in any other way than saving a goal he plays you on-side.
It's simple if you understand what you read.
