It certainly was not offside. Maybe a foul on Sa, but even that would have been ridiculously cheap foul to give.

 


He cannot be in an offside position before ball hits Stones' head. And when it does he is 5 feet away and dodging.

He obstructs the goalkeeper. That for me is impacting play.

 

Based on modern rules for offside, he is well out the way when the ball is headed and I can see why it was given, but for me, the modern rules are shite and it should just be if you're offside - you're offside.

 

He has impacted the goalkeeper and thus impacted play. So I could also see why Wolves will feel aggrieved.

 

The fact there's even discussion about it is mad as a ruling. It should be objective not subjective.

He does not obstruct the keeper when he the offside could happen. When Stones heads the ball, he is far away. 
If offside is given like that you wish for, then the City player giving the corner was in offside also.. 

And usually teams just put a defender in front of the keeper so that blocking doesn't happen. 

When the corner is taken, he is not offside, so only a foul on keeper could be given. Is that really a foul? Sa is not protesting at all...

 

They were checking if he was in line of sight of the keeper. That is why the goal was not given first.

They didn't seem aggrieved at the time tbf, I don't think a single one of them even approached the ref.

He obstructs him getting put his six yard box. So that is by definition obstruction.

 

Agree on the defending.

 

Historically that would have been given offside.

If he stands still that is not a foul. He takes 1 step back so that could be given as a foul, but usually in games a lot worse blocks don't get looked twice.

These cheap ‘fouls’ that refs give to the defending team… It’s a pandemic this weekend if this game and ours are anything to go by. Jota went through 2-3 minutes ago. James dives after a delayed reaction and the ref gives the foul. Bullshit.

funny how Chelsea's midfield duo today Caicedo and Lavia could've easily been Liverpool's but for Chelsea's billions 

 

also how have Chelsea gone from having one of the biggest shirt sponsorship deals in the world to nothing in two seasons now? 

 

and how can they afford to continue not having one?
