What's the point?

I mean that genuinely. What is the point?

Yeah, I felt exactly the same after we kicked off and confirmed the goal. I just sat their in silence the whole time until we did because I was convinced they'd go back and review it.

The only reason I didn't just walk out of the room was because our boys didn't deserve to be walked out on after that performance. But it's sadly getting to the point where it's hard to see a point any more.

Ok just for clarity, from the FA website, rules of offside:

 

Offside offence

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched* by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:

  • interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by a team-mate or
  • interfering with an opponent by:
  • preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or
  • challenging an opponent for the ball or
  • clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or
  • making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

 

So there we have it - he clearly did all three of those bolded points.

It is offside, by the rules. We were cheated.

I don't think i've ever seen such a blatant case of corruption in football.

If you ever doubted that officials are biased towards the so called big 4 this was it. Absolutely disgusting. Smith should demand an apology. 

I was quite looking forward to this game after our hiatus.

Now I'm just as **** angry as I was against Redscum.

If he's applying pressure on Mings while Mings is attempting to control the ball, he's offside. 

He is doing that.

He's offside.

 

It really is as simple as it gets. Elementary refereeing decisions you learn the first day you take it up.

He's offside.

 

He’s actively challenging Mings before he’s even meaningfully touching the ball. No way can he be in control and a new phase etc etc

That will be our toughest game all season imo and shows how far we've come. If that was Man City at the start of the season or if we were less rusty we could have got something. And still we may have only lost due to being shafted by the ref and VAR
