Agree. Reminds me of Huth all season. Will charge the ball with his arms outstretched, making himself a big an obstacle as possible, so when the ball hits one its technically not 'deliberate' but hes sure as hell is getting an advantage from it. The rules need further detail I think.

That last one was far more nailed on than the first shout. Landing from an aerial challenge with your arms up is arguably a 'natural' position, but charging to block a ball with your elbows flared just gives the ball more chance of pinging off them, penalty all day imo.

I think that was his point. Maybe the guy behind the goal was close enough to see it came off Williams?

Did the ref or assistant intimate it was offside?

Not sure to be honest mate. Vardy would have been miles offside had that come off an English head which was my first call. Whoever made the call is was the correct one, i suppose thats all that matters.
