Offside rule change/guidance after City goal

[Harry Dowd scored]

Yep, they have pandered to the mob, if that goal was scored tonight it would be disallowed, hope West Brom score one similar and it is rule out -:

They should bring in a rule for when Mane or Salah or all the rag players dive for a penalty and it’s clear, they should be shot immediately. Referee carries the gun and is allowed to pass it to an opposing player to conduct the killing.

The rule is silly, but changing rules mid season is worse. At least this time we benefited from the change rather than the other way around (handball farce against spuds).

Doubt this will impact us much now, hopefully in a title decider Rags or Dippers will have one chalked off... Would be fantastic.

Didn't see any outcry from them last season when the Sheffield United ball crossed the line and Hawkeye wasn't working and VAR didn't get involved.
That stopped them getting relegated yet all Smith said was they'd had decisions go against them.

We should be clear here, they have not changed the offside law, they have issued new guidance on how to apply it.

The Mail is a REALLY shit news source.

What would have happened if Mings had tried to head the ball back to the goalie and Rodri intercepted and scored ?

"Where a player in an offside position immediately impacts on an opponent who has deliberately played the ball, the match officials should prioritise challenging an opponent for the ball, and thus the offside offence of 'interfering with an opponent by impacting on the opponent's ability to play the ball' should be penalised."

Rodri was at no point offside.
He made no attempt to play the ball until mings Fkd up.
It's just another layer of fudge to hide behind.
How many touches can the defender have or how far away from said stupid defender do you have to be before you can think about going for the ball.

Utter fkn shite.

They'll have to change the rules again. Gundogan came from an onside position to take the ball from the defender and score. It needs stopping right now.
