Tomaszk Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Haha, perfect. The absolute dickheads. I wanted the title to be decided on a decision like this. But it wouldn't... because the rule hasn't changed. It never did. For one game, they decided to not flag someone running towards the ball, because it was Man City. So in summary...the rule is in fact what we all said. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisVillan Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Wait, so all the city bots falling over themselves to get a degree in interpretation of language were wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Referees instructed to alter interpretation" actually means going back to how its always been interpreted. "Isn't technically a rule change" is quite apt as the way that it was being interpreted is not in line with the rules in the first place. Rather than come out and admit that they were wrong they've fed everyone a completely ridiculous justification and then said we'll change how we do it in future. Its absolutely mental. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 We had a whole week of being gaslighted by their media chums only to see them change it. This is corruption. Smith is owed an apology at least. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that to cover Moss and his crew. Wouldn't it have just been easier to say they made mistake, give a quick statement about being better in the future and move on. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Not that it matters now but I'm still thinking that if they drew the lines on Watkins' goal against Newcastle they would've got his knee offside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochheads twin Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 SkySport news reporting the FA have written to the clubs and referees saying they do not want goals like the Man City goal to stand. No change of rule. Looks like they are trying to get out of the corner they had painted themselves into by backing Jon Moss. Back to the previous interpretation most of us already used. Common sense prevails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrenm Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Just now, StefanAVFC said: It's the end of the ball and your line is in the middle There's still enough off even if the line is moved forward a bit. When they can find a stud offside then a kneecap would work just as well for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 (edited) Any better? I don't have a proper point of reference for the line in the middle and I think it should even be more of an angle leaving more of Ollie's knee off. Like I said, it doesn't matter, it's just an interesting thought exercise for me. Edited January 26, 2021 by darrenm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Rightdm00 Posted January 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 26, 2021 If anything this whole Mings thing has proven 2 things for me. Fans of Villa will use a glaringly incorrect ruling as a cudgel to beat Mings with and how many fans of "football" have zero idea when it comes to the rules of the game. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
