Surely offside
I’d be livid if that was us.
Mings had control of the ball, how can a tackle be offside?

Well, it is picked by the waistcoatwanker.
Anyway, Bernie's turn to say "pick that out".

Walton is saying it was offside.......
Because he gained an advantage by being offside.
Mings may have known he was there, but used his chest on the presumption he wouldn’t challenge because he knew he (City player) was offside or if he did challenge the flag would go up.

So correct decision was made

Wasn't it because there was another villa player further down the pitch from Mings?

He made no attempt to the win the ball until Villa had possession, he didn't actually interfere with play.

What’s Micmac going on about just because something was going wide doesn’t mean u don’t give it 
I’d suggest making a challenge on the blind side of a defender is interfering. If he’s onside Mings clears or he doesn’t make the challenge.
City have gained an advantage by being offside.
Villa would have much rather taken the free kick rather than play on.

But the challenge came after Mings had the ball, that's when he interfered with play.

Didn’t we have a similar (ish) situation when Kayal fouled an offside player and a pen was given against us against Leicester ?
He wasn’t offside because he never touched it ... but if he hadn’t been in an offside position the ball would have rolled out of play and no need for the challenge.

Mings had no idea he was there because the player was behind him. The city player gained an advantage from being in an offside position.

That was a great game and the 1st goal shouldn't have stood

But he used the advantage after Mings had the ball, which is a different phase of play.
Looking forward to Smith’s post match interview 
No Sympathy as they are only in the league because of a bad decision.
But that was an awful decision. No where near onside and they will come out and say as much in a couple of months.
In the meantime no doubt you will get the usuall lot telling you there was no issue a bit like Connellys pen against Everton.
