Rashford actually pulls his foot back as if he was about to play the ball. there were two United players there who could have played the ball. Rashford dummies the ball. Even though he doesn’t touch it he has interfered by “making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball” 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian lord Posted 15 January, 2023 Share Posted 15 January, 2023 (edited) Lovely to see Klopp and the dippers going from bad to worse. As for United, Rashford literally shepherded the ball to the scorer, obstructing the defender and occupying space where the defender would otherwise advance and make an interception or challenge. Either the VAR’s are thick or bent. Has the ultimate authority and Oracle on all things refereeing, Peter Walton, delivered his verdict yet?

Innocent until proven guilty … although there’s over 200 cases they’re investigating. By the time they realized they’d be charging Harold Shipman with at least 25, I don’t think they let him carry on working, did they? 😉 In all seriousness it does strike me as odd - it looks like a slam dunk so why the delay?? 10 hours ago, Turkish said: Brilliant 9 hours ago, Turkish said: I’ve just seen the Man United goal, what a ridiculous decision that was how on earth has that stood? Bonkers. In all seriousness I know Howard Webb has just taken over and wants VAR used less, only for clear and obvious. I support this - it made the euros much better which was run like this. Unfortunately as it’s the first week they’ve gone way too far - the Brentford penalty was a foul to Bournemouth and this offside was ludicrous. Even worse, the VAR ref here was Oliver, our best ref??!! If he thinks that’s the correct interpretation of the offside rule it just goes to show how insane the new rule is. Why have they tried to be so clever with both this and the handball rule? They worked for years, what happened yesterday is insane. Defenders may as well not bother ever playing for offside, which is a skill they’ve developed over their entire careers. Of course, they d1cked around with the rules to try and remove grey areas which got interpreted badly by refs to favour the big teams. We now don’t have grey areas but clearly mental rules which basically say nothing is offside and everything is handball and it’s simply a rubbish set of rules. 1 hour ago, JRM said: Liverpool and Chelsea struggling does remind me of 2016, some teams could take advantage and get an unlikely European spot.

Bugger. 12 minutes ago, whelk said: Jesse Marsch said on MOTD that it was their best performance since he has been there To be fair, on points they annihilated Villa. Rather like us in the Ralph era, though - if you can’t score and ship goals it will see you hovering around the relegation zone, however we’ll you play. I think they’ll be ok, I reckon Bournemouth, hopefully Everton, hopefully not us so AN Other. Forest were SOOO bad against us I’d say them but that’s 6 points v us and Leicester so maybe not?

I’m reading a lot of old pony about interfering with play since that goal. You used to get perfectly good goals disallowed because somebody was offside by the corner flag, I don’t think anybody wants to go back to that. Imagine if Prowse free kick yesterday was disallowed because KWP was stood off side at the far edge of the area outside of the keepers eyeline. Nobody on here would be quoting Shanks or Cloughie. The issue is that football (as in players, managers, pundits) have pushed for consistency. The drive for less and less subjective decisions has led to complicated wording and rules around what used to be the referee’s opinion (handball is another one). The rule should be very simple “ if in the opinion of the referee the player is interfering, he’s offside. The problem is referees will have different opinions and managers will start whining about one goal given one week, and one disallowed the following week.

FarehamSaintJames Posted 15 January, 2023 Share Posted 15 January, 2023 Spurs are piss poor. Top four is already wrapped up, Arsenal, Man City, Man United and Newcastle in some form. Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs are burnt out and done. There always comes a point when teams burn out after years of high press and domination, this is it.
