So what? Someone scoring from an onside position isn't relevant to whether they're committing the offence. Where they are when the ball is played is relevant. Where they are when they become active isn't.
Not the Spurs one no. If he had beaten Mings to the ball he would have been offside but as it stands (in real rules) he was back onside before Mings touched the ball and so was ok.
He absolutely wasn't back onside when Mings touched the ball, but it wouldn't have mattered if he was. The ruling is that he's not offside, because the pass from his teammate is now another phase of play after Mings plays it.
I've been there all along. You've been banging on about something irrelevant the whole time and are now trying to move the goalposts.
Why? I have already said he was back onside (by at least 2 players) when he challenged for the ball (after Mings touched it) so how am i moving the goalposts
I'll start with the first point, then I'm leaving it for the night. It doesn't matter where he was when he challenged for the ball. That's never relevant to an offside decision.
That photo demonstrates quite clearly that Mings intentionally played the ball and that Rodri was not challenging him at the time. So he doesn't get pinged for offside.
For some reason, that whole incident with Mings/Rodri yesterday instantly makes me think of this (albeit situations are different obviously): Still can't believe Clattenburg gave this as a legitimate goal
