Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[Blue Juice]

It doesn't matter. The rules are the rules. Change the rule if you don't like it but there is no way to do it where people won't argue that you should just ignore it if it's only broken by a little bit so what's the point?

If football was run to every single existing rule every single game it would be beyond boring, tedious and very NFL.
I don't think anyone's saying the rules should be changed, I think people are saying using a microscope to evaluate every single decision for minutes on end is not what football has ever been about

It´s very much American football and that is definitely not a good thing.

Not sure about that. NFL officiating is notoriously poor and biased towards certain teams without any redress (esp. penalties for pass interference, holding, etc.).

So you agree you're off side if your nose is in front of a defender?

 

[Bob Latchford]

City winning at a canter. West Ham blowing out their butts. Look knackered

Talking about the time it´s going to take to reach a conclusion with these decisions.

Yeah I think that should be the case. Any part of the body offside = offside. No ambiguity.

 

[TheBigIguana]

It's a clearly defined rule. All the ball over the line means a goal.

A player does not gain an advantage for fraction of a second where their nose is ahead of the last defender

It's also a clearly defined rule. If a part of the attacker he can score with is ahead of a part of the defender that he can score with the player is offside. There's no wiggle room either.

West Ham tails up ever since the goal was overturned....

Phil Thompson would have struggled with it

 

[Tubey]

And boom goes the dynamite.

 

[Dharma]

Very much not the spirit of football judging offsides by a mm of a shoulder.
All in favour of overturning obvious mistakes but breaking things down to the nth degree isn't football

Won't be long before it's down to the 'viewers decision'. Press the red button now.

 

[DOMNOLAN]

I think we’re missing the point here. It doesn’t matter if it was offside or not. Was it a “CLEAR and OBVIOUS mistake”? No. It wasn’t. No one in the ground including any of the refs thought it was, and no one even appealed. Not a clear and obvious mistake. Shouldn’t be disallowed.

 

[Azza]

City are very good.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Overturn that one you divvys.

 

[Azza]

Offside again?
