This is what I thought. if Watkins wasn’t behind the ball when played I’d have said that’s offside as it deflected off his shin. but the referees have opened a can of worms with the city goal vs us. I hope it causes carnage for loads of sides now. hope Liverpool score one similar vs United and City get screwed over and lose a game because of it.

This is a bigger game than Newcastle, a tougher opponent and it pushes us right into the top half of the table. realistically a win here will put us one victory from safety. No way 40 points will be required this season. McGinn coming back full of beans will be so key and can run people ragged, knowing Nakamba can come on and do a solid job against an opponent like this. first goal is really important so we have to start quick, moving the ball at pace and get right in front early on and force Burnley to attack from a position of weakness. if we do that and counter attack hard it’s a 3-0 win. if Burnely score first then a draw is our most likely outcome.

Hmmm I don’t think both will escape the fate of a ban.

The second one.

I refer @rjw63 to suggest what was offered

Does anyone know if the cards reset ON game 19 or after? i.e if Grealish doesn’t get booked vs Burnley then he’s all good?

That Newcastle forum is probably like a war zone right now

Their mess up in our game vs City has literally changed the interpretation of the rule overnight. They can’t go back now. their own stupid fault. Hope it causes carnage all over the place for other sides.

He did well against a side who offered no pressure. Ideal game for McGinn to miss. I think he’d struggle against other opposition but he matched the Newcastle midfield and that’s all that mattered.

Silly from Grealish there, needs to keep his head on four yellows

I want at least 4. Ruin them.

Thanks for clearing the save thing up. it’s so annoying everyone has just let this go apart from us. media just shrug their shoulders and leave it. Is anyone fighting our corner or challenging those in charge at all? obviously we can’t overturn the result but just like bloody brexit this is a case of “nah we didn’t lie, you’re just not believing in us enough”

It’s so energy sapping I’ll have to stop myself. Just want to chin every one of them. even the PMOL statement proves they got it wrong. He never ever received the ball from Mings. He tackled him. Anything short of 3-0 v Newcastle and I’ll be livid still. Need to improve our GD beyond the 2-0 loss against the lesser Manchester.

Admit I’ve gone into it big time kicking off with all the city rocket polishers. Apparently Mings had the ball under control but the exact same incident with Ronaldo, the defender wasn’t controlling it. either way it’s wrong because it’s about a deliberate act to play the ball. Having it under control doesn’t come into it

KDB apparently out for ten games. Might cost them some points. Hopefully that’ll learn them

Still livid. their interpretation is, Mings made a deliberate act towards the ball, a new phase ensued and therefore no offside. now can anyone explain why the following is now NOT onside. Watkins goal hangs offside by miles. McGinn slams the ball at the keeper, he smothers the ball and it spills out to Watkins. he taps it in. GOAAAAL. their interpretation now means the above is now a goal. That right?

Can we get someone who is a journalist to ask the tough question ? People are missing the point. Mings chests the ball, a new phase is correct but Rodri is STILL in an offside position when Mings chests the ball. He then comes back to an onside position to tackle Mings. The law states that is offside through gaining an advantage. That law is there for pass backs and opposition players “receiving a ball” from an opponent. And despite this new phase law, it DOESNT MATTER because Rodri is still offside. am I missing something? it’s not like he was offside, runs back onside as Mings chests it and tackles him. That’s allowed. this goal still isn’t legitimate at all.

Hope cov smash blues, would be funny to have the tenant bankrupt the landlord through pushing them into the zone

This is Levy territory. Not a fan of such a mickey take. Makes us look like bell ends. like when my mate offered the dodgy trinket sellers in Tenerife €1 for a pair of fake Ray Bans and the guys lost their sh**. scary time!

I will be in a foul mood if we don't win this game.

I hope Moss is on benefits come Friday.

magazine another rant from me I know but even their own statement STILL means it’s offside. he didn’t receive the ball from Mings, it wasn’t a misplaced pass. He tackled Mings.....

Absolute carnage. I’m absolutely fuming
