What odds are they to win tournament outright?

Would back city rather than scousers even at 3-0 down.

A tale of two poor offside decisions

 

I'm having 5 on city to progress

 

Liverpool's first, with the pundits convincing each other that it was tight but the linesman just about got it right... No he didn't, he got it a yard wrong. 

 

Same linesman flagged for city offside when he wasn't while the pundits convinced each other that his arm may have been offside.

 

And the handball, right under the nose of the second assistant deputy vice linesman or whatever his title is and he didn't see anything. What the fuck is his job then?

I just love that the dirty reds aren't involved. They'll hate this, whoever wins in the end

Bang on

Pauper boy avoided all social and mainstream media until 1045 just to see a 10 min recap...

 

Hate both sets of fans, but fuck me Roy Keane seems made up with the result

Anyone know what the score was the last time these 2 teams met at the Etihad? Just saying / wishing ...

Just seen city are 5/1 to qualify for next round

 

14/1 to win competition

So some team I dont give a shit about plays a team I dont give a shit about in a competition I dont give a shit about.

 

May as well be womens tiddlywinks from Guatemala for me.

An arm can't be offside.

An arm can't be offside.

Isnt it any part of the body??

No. It's any part of the body that can score a goal.

Any part of the body with which you can legally play the ball.

So if it was the goalkeeper he would have been offside? 

So if it was the goalkeeper he would have been offside? 

 

only if he was inside his own box

only if he was inside his own box

Then he could not have been offside.

Then he could not have been offside.

 

so it's looking like a concrete yes that a goalkeepers arms would not be considered as bodily part that can be offside

 

(because if they use their hands outside their own box, it's handball, obvs)

Can a keeper throw it in the opposition net and the goal stand? (Even from his own box)

 

I thought that would be a foul in the same way a throw in would be

The ball is in play, so it stands. Ball not in play from the throw in.

 

It's been twenty years since I qualified as a ref, so not 100%

Aye. Does annoy me when pundits say something like the defenders foot may have played him onside. Despite the fact that the strikers head maybe a couple of feet further forward. Loons.

Most annoying for me is when they say "well there was contact" as if that means its a stonewall penalty.

 

Missed the memo that we have moved to a non contact sport
