TheGoodJoe:
Whether misplaced or not, whether City players were lazy or not, as soon as Rashford went after the point, he interfered with play.

Note the bolded. What you are talking about is out of context of the point. The point is Rashford, not City defenders or Bruno Fernandes.

TheGoodJoe:

No one is talking about that. The offside call was when the pass was made, not when Fernandes hit the ball.

Karlovych:
The Var reviewed it and didn't find a clear and obvious interference

TheGoodJoe:

You are going in circles. The point is that the VAR officials made a corrupt and wrong call. I have given you the reasons why they are wrong.

So telling me VAR made the call is devoid of the point.

Karlovych:
So it would have made sense for an offside call in this scenario since the pass was for Rodri

TheGoodJoe:


If the ball has gone to Rodri without Mings touching it, the Rodri is offside. As soon as Mings touched the ball, then Rodri is no more offside.

You can only get an offside call when the ball comes directly to you from your teammate. You can not get offside from your opponent.

In that picture, Mings is with the ball and Rodri can not be offside.

Karlovych:
But this was right

TheGoodJoe:

In that second pic, the ball had not made contact with Rodri's. In the first picture, it is from the back and we can not see precisely if the ball is off the red zone in the sleeve rule.

The VAR officials could not rule because of no clear evidence to rule.

At that point, I did not argue but learnt from it.

Karlovych:
But in today's case the ball went to Fernandes. DeGea--WanBissaka---Casemeiro--Fernandes

Karlovych:
What part of Rodri's body did the ball touch?

TheGoodJoe:
The point is, as soon as Rashford chased the ball from an offside position, it was offside. Who the ball went to is not the problem. The problem is Rashford chasing the ball from an offside position.

The ball went from Casemeiro to---Rashford chasing the ball from an offside position---to Fernandes.

Offside.

TheGoodJoe:

No enough evidence to rule. That is the point.

Karlovych:
So Rodri didn't chase the ball from an offside position in this case

Karlovych:
Indeed, but there was enough evidence in Rashford's case despite the fact that he never touched any player other than when he was celebrating with Fernandes

TheGoodJoe:

As soon as Mings touched the ball, Rodri is no more offside. You can only be offside when your teammate has the ball. Mings is not a Manchester City player. So in that position, Rodri is not offside.

TheGoodJoe:

The point is not touched, but chasing the ball. There is irrevocable evidence that Rashford was offside when Casemiro made the pass and he chased after the ball. So he is offside.

Karlovych:
As soon as Fernandes touched the ball, Rushford was not offside

Karlovych:
As soon as Fernandes touched the ball, Rushford was not offside

Na wa.

It has nothing to do with Fernandes.

The point is Rashford chasing the ball from an offside position.

TheGoodJoe:

Only Manchester City is allowed to benefit from VAR, every other team is green Zone and red zone analogy

komekn:
You are very wise as you have been told so much from so many who know,. WISE MAN.

TheGoodJoe:

This is now evasion. You literally failed to address the point and really have not point to make.

TheGoodJoe:
Manuel Akanji to @BBCSport:

"The first goal is a joke it can be allowed. He runs to the last second and stops when the ball is right in front of him and right in front of Eddy to score the goal... He runs for 30 metres, he's chasing the ball. It's clearly off."

It will remain the most ridiculous decision in a long time.

Karlovych:
I addressed your point only Rodri and City players are allowed to chase balls from offside positions, this was Darwin Nunez chasing the ball from an offside position leading up to his goal earlier this season against Arsenal. Var reviewed and it still stood as a goal

DEMANDRED:
As man city don lose Na so so blue font choke everywhere.

TheGoodJoe:

I can't speak for what I did not watch. The point is very simple. Rashford was offside, chased the ball and thus interfered with play. You are jumping to other scenarios cannot bend the truth.

TheGoodJoe:
I’ll admit I’d have been extremely annoyed if that goal had been given against us.
