Not sure what the Prem clubs are doing but Middlesbrough have announced that anyone with a season ticket for this season will automatically be given one for next season irrespective of whether or not fans are allowed back in this season.

Which I believe he was.
He clearly backed out of the way of the ball.

He wasn’t interfering with the line of sight of GK who over the other side of the goal - “moving out of the way “ doesn’t put him offside unless he makes a play at the ball.

How thick are these commentators! Welbeck takes the penalty, he hits the post and then plays the rebound, Ref correctly awards an indirect free kick against him and the commentator comes out with “that’s because Welbeck is in an offside position” :rolleyes:

That's as maybe, but he still had to get out of the way of the ball.
I'd say that was interfering ......................... but 'interfering with play' is a subjective call.

Damn, I think Lee Mason might be given next week off. What has he done there?? Did he blow the whistle for them to take it but then realise the keeper wasn't ready and change his mind? Farce.

That's hilarious as well. Wouldn't surprise me if it was Peter Walton saying that as well. :LOL:

I agree Arsenal needed to rotate and rest some players, but this just shows the gulf in class between a few of the first choice, and the other options. Some (most) of these players need to be moved on this summer.
