Wolves v Leicester kick off 2000 BT Sport 1 & Ultimate

It's because of the winter break, Steve McManaman says so

I just knew that line would be used. Too many games, not enough games, excusing poor performance

 

[mikemanc]

I thought the rule is that if the player is behind the ball they are onside and not to do with the ball going backwards (just usually it does go backwards if the player is behind the ball)? Might be wrong like

That is the law, I always thought the direction of the ball was involved in it

Maddison was round the lad there. He could have got the cross in but chose to go down.

 

[Keyser Soze]

It is though, the moaning twats who whinged like fuck when sky picked up a marginal offside then ranted they wuz robbed on social media have got exactly what they wanted.
I hope they’re happy as there’s some f***ing great goals being chalked out by decisions so marginal, no advantage would have been gained from them but hey ho, they’re technically correct.

Has ruined the game IMO - despite being 'technically right' is takes the enjoyment away......so therefore what then is the point of football?

That’s a foul for me like. Don’t care what johnboy Walton says. He’s moved across and body checked him?

Why didn't Dean book him if he thought he went down too easy I hate that

So, if either get knocked out of the cup, the game after an empty weekend will be walking pace like this? Shite excuse isn't it?

So how is it not offside when one attacker plays it across the box to another attacker to score. I thought as long as the ball went backwards it was ok and not offside.

I honestly don’t think he went down too easy. The bloke moved across to him and put his shoulder into him. If that was in the middle of the pitch it would be a free kick

I hate that bit too

Ifs a foul anywhere else on the pitch it's a foul in the penalty area why is it different

Jota was ahead of the ball when it was played. So in your example the player is behind the ball so he isn't offside, direction of the pass is irrelevant. I always thought the same as you until I read the law earlier.

Honeyman Scored? Asoro sighted?

I've done a match thread for that too but most seem to be watching this one

 

[JL1985]

Honeyman Scored? Asoro sighted?

Honeyman came on after 65 mins (no goal) and Asoro not in the squad.

Oh I think it’s f***ing shit and has completely ruined the game. Doesn’t stop these decisions being correct though.

Been watching the Hull game. End to end and crap defending.
Honeyman is on but looks like he's only half interested, if that much..

Asor-who ?

He’s out on loan in Holland

Guess that explains his absense...

Thanks. I understand now.
