The Footie Thread

I thought once he shoots and the keeper saves it that’s the end of that phase of play .
That’s when the flag should go up.
If not you basically can only be offside if you score.

Later in the game long ball into the defence CB clears the ball into ops half but the flag goes up and they bring play back for offside.
It’s a joke.

And that is exactly what would have happened if the linesman saw it as offside. Goal or not, they'd have put their flag up. However, the linesman clearly didn't see it as offside. So, if the shot was scored, or fell directly to a team mate who would have scored, VAR would have given it as offside, rather than the linesman. However, this did not happen. And, by the time the goal was scored, by what we see defined as different phases of play week in, week out, the goal clearly came in a different phase of play (coming after 2 crosses later).

He was clearly offside if he can’t see that he should not be in the PL.

These results happening:

Wolves 2-1 City
West Ham 0-1 City
City 3-1 Villa

Saints 0-2 Liverpool
Liverpool 3-0 Wolves

Would mean a play-off match for the Premier League title would have to happen between City & Liverpool.

Chances?

Can't see Wolves beating City. Nor, unfortunately, City only putting 1 past Hammers.

If Villa play like they did against us they might squeeze a one goal loss so no need for a playoff.

City will win all their games, comfortably. Our chance to get ahead was against them. But, we're barely in a worse place than before the spurs game. its out of our hands, as it was then.

If you'd offered me 1 trophy in the bag, 2 more cup finals and a chance of the league with 2 games to go in august, of course I'd have taken it! But that being said, the playoff would be brilliant. Can we do it at Old Trafford?!

Me neither.
You’d get MASSIVE odds at the bookies for it to happen.

That’s why the bookies all drive Bentleys.

Indeed, while the possibility of 4 titles exists, the possibility of 0 does too! It would be a shame and I don't think it'll happen (FA Cup being the most likely imo) but I'd quietly chuckle a bit if it did - purely because of the amount of hype that's been spouted by so many!
Does it seem to anyone else that all the wowing has been about Liverpool and City have quietly and relentlessly gone about their business (FA SF apart). That particular game was the (Club) match of the season (decade even) for me.

He was clearly offside if he can’t see that he should not be in the PL.

It was only clearly offside once we watched the sky footage. It wasn't clearly offside from the linesman's perspective, otherwise he'd have given it. And, from memory, I can sympathise with him as he was only marginally offside, not like it was by miles?

Shame (not).

 

[Swango1980]

Leeds players are an embarrassment. Ridiculous red cards in last 2 games.
