The Journalist Posted January 15, 2023 Report Share Posted January 15, 2023 19 minutes ago, chinapig said: Though Rashford didn't take any action, obvious or otherwise. The ball being in playing distance doesn't constitute an action. I don't see anything in Law 11 that equates to a player being active if the goalkeeper is unsure who might play the ball. To capture that you would have to make yet another change to the law, though how a referee could judge whether a keeper is confused by the presence of an inactive (as defined) player is unclear. I guess it’s interpretation isn’t it? I think Rashford continues to move towards the ball even if he doesn’t swing a boot at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great isn't it? Despite VAR, 4th officials, and bags of technology........they still managed to get the absurd Man utd goal and the Saudi Arabia utd penalty/penalties wrong? Maybe it's just a conspiracy to make sure the Gunners don't win the Premier league by too far? Edited January 16, 2023 by maxjak 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 I’m late to this…just seen the Fernandez goal. Dermot Gallagher says he would’ve given offside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot stand pedantry..............Saudi Arabia Utd and Man U Both increased their points totals by 3...........meaning they are Both getting closer to the top of the league, and thus are gaining closer proximity to the current leaders....which ultimately may help them in the long term to close the gap. Whatever...........I am bored with this conversation now. Ha!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazooka Joe Posted January 16, 2023 Report Share Posted January 16, 2023 Offside. I know, Bruno, we all know. Offside. Rash and ultimatelu wrong decision by a ref who should have known/done better. Unfortunately, didn't end all Attwell for City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always reminded of Brian Clough's quote on the issue - " if a player is not interfering with play then he shouldn't be on the pitch!"

1960maaan Posted January 17, 2023 Report Share Posted January 17, 2023 This is the best way to sum it up IMO. This guy has edited Rashford out of the Pic, now you can see that he has to be interfering with play. Offside is a joke now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that Utd and Newcastle winning increase their points totals, but as I say, the gap to the top increased - if there was a conspiracy against Arsenal, City would have won Though I also accept OP was most likely joking about an actual conspiracy! 1 hour ago, 1960maaan said: This is the best way to sum it up IMO.

The only thing this photo doesn't account for is the pace the ball is moving it, but I still think the defender can get a slide / block in if Rashford isn't in the way. He can;t slide through Rashford, but if he isn't there he may make it Also, keepers position is all wrong if no Rashford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
