Why are you saying being offside is a foul ? That’s just nonsense !
Most of the rest of your analysis is just crazy.
The officialsgot it right and trying to rewrite the offside law whilst seemingly under the influence of mind altering substances isn’tgoing to change that.
Calm down dude.
If you can't handle the idea of discussion on a discussion forum then perhaps the internet ain't for you.
I repeat that overall they deserved a goal there, and the win.
Being offside is not a foul. Offside and fouls are different offences.
Thanks Ian. Agreed, there is a difference, but it is still an offence of some sort, whatever we call it I suppose.
So why is it that BT Sport were trying to figure out if Lukaku's offside position was offside? Clearly that would have been a material consideration in whether or not RIchards' foul could warrant a penalty.
Likewise, quoting SCIAG:
"1) Ball comes into Mata. Lukaku is in an offside position, but isn't interfering with play or an opponent so hasn't committed an offence."The implication being that had he been interfering with play it would have been an offence and it may then change the order of events and whether or not the foul was relevant?
As one of the forum's brighter chaps on HNA, with an eye for discussion, I trust you will at least understand what I'm trying to say even if you disagree (without overloading your brain capacity and hurling insults, like some who shall remain Nameless).
To help me understand this by exaggerating the issue... I wonder.. imagine there is a player blatantly goalhanging standing right in front of the keeper and obviously 20 yards offside and one of his team mates passes the ball to him from the half way line. Now imagine that before the ball gets to that player, one of the defenders sees the offside flag and catches the ball mid flight, what would happen? Would he be done for committing a hand ball? Ok so now... let's say he catches the ball whilst the flag was on its way up but hadn't gone above the linesman's shoulder yet and before the ref sees it. What then?
See what I'm trying to say?
