No, it doesnt. He was offside when the ball was played.

Unless they’ve changed the rule it doesn’t matter. It’s a new phase of play because the defender has deliberately played the ball. Think we were incorrectly penalised for this when Anderson bagged against Forest a few years ago.

What a save.

Not sure that’s right if Maguire deliberately plays the ball. Which he clearly does. Then it isn’t off, no? 
 

Suppose they could argue the speed of the pass, the way Maguire has moved etc. But it seemed a blatant attempt to clear the pass. 
 

Spoiler

A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately played* the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent. 

*‘Deliberate play’ (excluding deliberate handball) is when a player has control of the ball with the possibility of:

passing the ball to a team-mate;

gaining possession of the ball; or

clearing the ball (e.g. by kicking or heading it)

If the pass, attempt to gain possession or clearance by the player in control of the ball is inaccurate or unsuccessful, this does not negate the fact that the player ‘deliberately played’ the ball.

The following criteria should be used, as appropriate, as indicators that a player was in control of the ball and, as a result, can be considered to have ‘deliberately played’ the ball:

The ball travelled from distance and the player had a clear view of it

The ball was not moving quickly

The direction of the ball was not unexpected

The player had time to coordinate their body movement, i.e. it was not a case of instinctive stretching or jumping, or a movement that achieved limited
contact/control

A ball moving on the ground is easier to play than a ball in the air

Man Utd should sign Grimsby's keeper.

[La Parka]

Keeper was getting held there fucking bullshit 

 

[Hanshithispantz]

As funny as it is we don't want Amorim getting sacked too early

Deflections off an opposition player dont nullify a player being offside when the ball is played. Never has in all of my years. Used to hear people saying that when I played and it was never true.

The entire First XI

[Chris L]

It’ll be 12 mins added on a Man U score on the 99th minute or something. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

Ref is desperate to give a penalty, he's just laying the groundwork for it 

[Casey]

I can't fucking wait for the post conference with Amorim if they lose. 

[Geordie Ahmed]

FFS

 

So obvious

It wasn’t a deflection though, it was a deliberate attempt to play the ball. 
 

We are not going to agree so I will leave it there 

[nemtizz]

Ahh yes blow the whistle and warn them after the ball has been played 2 times in a row class

88th minute I meant. Altho they’ll likely still score a winner on the 99th

Not a deflection if he makes a deliberate attempt to play the ball. Which Maguire clearly does. Ball travelled a fair way. 
 

Of course. The slabheed cunt scores now. 

[TK-421]

Spawny tw@ts

[Vaj]

What a surprise, won’t even get penalties 

[Bizza]

Cunts

[54]

[Conjo]

[La Parka]

Fuck off AI OVERLORDS

Fuck sake

[Hanshithispantz]

Corner I know, but Big Maguire as a forward is genuinely genius from Amorim and more managers should do it. It's the only thing he does which isn't shite.
