Wolfcastle Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) = 8 minutes ago, simonsays said: Eh, so if a player passes backwards from the byline and another attacking player is ahead of the defenders that is offside? I can't believe that is correct. How as the Brentford goal against Chelsea allowed then? There was only the goalkeeper behind the attackers in that case Definitely never used to be, now fuck knows. Would negate squaring a ball for a tap in to someone. The defenders could just play off-side and the guy would have to score from a tight angle by himself as anything else would be off-side.

But we just un-banned them here in Denver, finally, which I’m proud to have voted for. A Barret .50 rifle (XL bully) can do a lot more damage than a .22 pistol (chihuahua) regardless of ownership is my view, not sure why people need to have them, I mean, a dog is a dog, no need for it really, in my humble opinion anyway.

Some of the weirdest fans in the league, same lot who racially abused Joelinton after the game at SJP on social media last season, a game that they won. They'll be whinging about VAR for this game for weeks, even though they'll have celebrated and laughed about Havertz not getting sent off tonight and us getting 3 bookings after the challenge but Bruno not getting sent off will be a crime against humanity. Arteta will set the narrative amongst them for the goal tonight as well. Odious fucking creeps. Also find it amazing how much that club has been rattled by that 0-0 draw we got down there last year. The perpetuated bullshit to the nth degree about timewasting regarding us when they've time wasted from the get go in both of the last 2 games we've played against them. Will snort a henry of toot in one line when Arteta and Gabriel snuff it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon1892 Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 16 minutes ago, Memphis said: The point was - if both of the players end up with only one defender behind them, even a backward or level pass is offside. The image is from right before the ball ends up with Gordon. In that image, both players are behind Raya, leaving only one defender between them and the goal. If Joelinton passes that ball, it is absolutely offside no matter which direction the pass travels. The rule specifically says as much...you are only onside if you are behind two defenders or level with the second-last one. But since you can't quite tell how the ball gets to Gordon, it has to stand. Sorry but that is all nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer!’ them: ‘One leg, he’s only got one leg, he’s only got one leg’ us: ‘one leg, he only needs one leg, he only needs one leg’ etc etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted November 4, 2023 Share Posted November 4, 2023 If they didn't have Rice, we'd definitely finish above them. We might still do it with him yet but I thought they were the poorest of the "big" teams we've played this season by a mile. Worse than Villa and Brighton.
