If he can’t see that’s offside he shouldn’t be doing the job.
He should have put it up to let the ref know he was in an offside position initially and let VAR sort it out after the goal.
That’s how it works I think.

In the lower leagues do they let play run on until the ball is out ??
Genuine question any fans of lower league teams know?

If so it’s a two rules system depending on your level of play.

I agree on it being a joke.

That’s not how it works

As soon as the linesman puts his flag up the ref blows his whistle which is why they now wait until the phase of play finishes and then put the flag up - if a goal is scored they check for offside

That’s what I said AFTER THE GOAL

But the linesman didn’t think he was offside which is why he didn’t put the flag up ?‍ - the linesman knows the rules and made a judgement goal on defender going for the ball - but they still check for offside as they do with every single goal

He’s a rubbish linesman then because he was in an offside position initially.
Or we wouldn’t be discussing it.

But just because someone is in an offside position doesn’t mean they are offside ?‍

You can stand in an offside position and not be offside if not interfering in the play. It’s not new , if Salah was challenging the Wolves player then he is offside

The magic of the cup is alive and kicking, league 2 team knocking a PL team out. Well done Stevenage.

I know youre correct wrt to the current rules but being on the penalty spot and scoring a few seconds later means youre interfering in anyone with common senses book. Ultimately this rule is currently garbage, sadly it will probably stay garbage

It’s been stupid for years - as the old saying, if you’re on the pitch then you’re interfering with play - but just trying to point out why the linesman didn’t raise the flag

The offside and handball rules [including the different variations of the rules] have not improved the game.

That Salah goal last night was a perfect example of Offside. The defender can't guess that Salah is off and just leave the ball, he only play's the ball because he know's Salah is there.

I was watching it with my Spurs pal and he recalled Kane doing something similar ironically against Liverpool at Anfield a few years ago.

Also VAR should only be used in every competition if its availble to be used in every ground.

Can someone explain why….
In the City v Chelsea game, a Chelsea player deliberately handled the ball in the area, thus denying the city player a scoring opportunity.

City got a penalty, which they scored, but the Chelsea player didn’t appear to even get booked, let alone sent off

Have the rules changed or am I missing something?

Havertz one? not certain as not sure I understand the rules anymore (does anyone lol) but think it was because the pen was given by VAR not the ref and VAR cant give a yellow card only a red (its handball not stopping a clear goal scoring op so yellow not red imo)

Should have been booked but might be because VAR give the penalty

But it’s not a red card offence

You think Salah was not interfering with play ?
He’s on the penalty spot and scored.
If he wasn’t there the defender would get a shout from the keeper to leave it.
As it was the defender had no choice but to play the ball, he dosnt know he’s on or off!

As I understand the rule the Lino sees he’s offside but he keeps his flag down until the balls dead( goal).
He then puts it up to inform the ref that he was offside initially then VAR take over.

If he’s missed it fair enough but if so that’s not good.

I would like to know how the ref missed that?
What was he doing ,where was he looking?

Salah is deemed to be not interfering with play

He isn’t offside by the current offside rule which is why the linesman didn’t flag

If the defender had missed the ball and arrives at Salah then he would have put the flag up

My lad said exactly the same at the time the penalty was given. In the Cardiff game it was deliberate so an easy sending off. But was the Chelsea handball just rubbish defending. ? It looked like one of those that was open to interpretation.

That just shows how stupid the rule is.

He’s right behind the CB in an offside position when Robbo I think plays the ball.
He controls it and scores.
But he’s not offside and not interfering with play.
.couldn’t make it up, oh hang on.

Seeing as it’s the football thread. Young Bradley Tash scored a goal today. A defender handled it on the way trying to stop the shot from going in. Ref cancels the goal and gives a penalty. ? Bradley missed it. Where’s the ruling anywhere you cancel a goal to give a penalty. ???
Bradley was gutted as my lad told him coz the goal was cancelled and he missed the penalty he don’t get a quid.???

No VAR then?
Did he blow up before the ball went in ?
Did he have a bet on the other team?

Goal before a Pen was gospel years ago.

More chance of me sorting me swing out before he scores again bless him. ?

Joking aside my lad took him to the game. He said “ he has seen more skill in the under 10’s than he saw when he was playing under 13’s.?
