[Albion] Premier League 16-23/01

LOL...Walton proved wrong

 

[Live by the sea]

Is it because he was slightly behind the villa player when he tackled him so was back to onside ?

 

[big nuts]

But he used the advantage after Mings had the ball, which is a different phase of play.

For me it’s not another phase of play. Mings has chested it and a bloke standing 30 yards offside has robbed him of the ball.

Villa would much rather have a free kick there. They have been given no advantage and it’s a City offence. It makes no sense.

Nope...seems as Mings deliberately played the ball, correct decision was made as player wouldn’t be deemed offside. PL confirmed the decision and Walton has now read the rule and realised he got ANOTHER thing wrong

Once mings has control of the ball, a new phase of play has been entered.

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

Oh yes it should! Oh sorry, pantomime season over.
Mings played him onside.
And of course the penalty was a penalty. It hit his hand, which was stuck up in the air!

For me it’s the same phase of play. Mings would’ve protected the ball completely differently had he known a player was behind him. The ball hadn’t even hit the floor before the City player was challenging for it. Mings has no control over the situation whatsoever.

Peter Walton stealing a living. He’s literally being paid, just to be there and clarify rules and decisions - and has just admitted to having to go and read the law, before admitting he got it 100% wrong.

Shameful.

That much is standard.

Villa get no advantage at all. They would much rather take a free kick and play from there.

The rules are wrong when a team committing the offence get the advantage.

But that isn't how it works. A player in an offside position, receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately plays the ball, is not considered to have gained an advantage. Mings deliberately played the ball. So under the laws of the game, he is onside,

 

[dazzer6666]

Oh God, got to watch a game hoping Man U actually win

 

[Icy Gull]

Anyone who feels any sympathy for Villa needs to have a word with themselves imo. They shouldn’t even be in the division

Hardly surprising people don’t know when that **** Walton didn’t either

I fully appreciate that. But the player is then offside for interfering with play before the ball is played as it impacts Minds decision.

 

[dazzer6666]

Bugger.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Oh shite!

 

[Motogull]

Dodgy De Gea again.

Typical continental 'keeper facing that sort of shot. You can't train it out of him I guess.

 

[dstanman]

Not the start we want to see

 

[Change at Barnham]

Two mistakes by Wan-Bissaka in the opening five minutes.
United will be after Lamptey if we're not careful.
