Can't help you. Watching via my internet provider's streaming service.

Aww fuck

An offside player moved out of the way of the ball.

Of course he is interfering with play.

Trolling? This is clearly wrong. How is moving out of the way interfering? Without blocking the keeper?

We spend an hour on this every ref class, the ref here just got it wrong. They actually recently changed the language iirc to "making an attempt to play the ball." The defender here jumped out of the way!

 

[Jeff Albertson]

So why does the linesman think he doesn't need to put his flag up if it's offside? Because he didn't - and then changed his mind afterwards. Terrible decision.

Because it's corrupt

The goal wasn't even in question till city moaned

 

[Clegg]

It's time to put on make up
It's time to light the lights
Its time to get things started
On the Muppet Show tonight.

Best Manchester winning?

I am pleased

Yep. Put your flag up, or allow the goal

'I think there might have been an offside.'

That's the only thing he could have said to the ref in lieu of disallowing it immediately, and it isn't fucking good enough,

Mark Halsey says right call. 'Moving towards the ball or interfering with an opponent - off side'

Everyone on the panel at Premier League Productions plus ex Ref, Dermot Gallagher, says the goal should have stood.

That's the problem right there.

 

[GorillaJu]

Twice City spared from horrendous offside decisions.

FA pls... Give us Sian.

 

[bjaelke]

Correct decision. Read the rulebook, children.

The law change, which was presented to officials at a conference named ‘Realising Your Potential’, omits the ambiguous wording of ‘obstructing the opponent’s line of movements or making a gesture or movement which, in the opinion of the referee, deceives or distracts an opponent’.

This part of the offside law, referring to what constitutes ‘interfering with an opponent’ had previously been left too open to the subjective interpretation of officials and has now been replaced by ‘challenging an opponent for the ball.’

Less uncertainty should be provided by the clarification of what the assistant referee must consider when judging whether a forward has ‘gained an advantage by being in an offside position’.

I did, and so should you.

 

[Hixx]

"lino right, you're wrong"

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL how can you overrule your linesman in that situation

 

[Salvadora]

Because it's corrupt

City are the new United in terms of refereeing.

 

[Kyoufu]

We were the better side in that half despite the shit start and the shit goal we conceded.

Football is dead.

FOOTBALL IS DEAD

 

[Vivalaraza]

An offside player moved out of the way of the ball.

Of course he is interfering with play.

That's irrelevant.

 

[3Sixty]

A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:

interfering with play or
interfering with an opponent or
gaining an advantage by being in that position

----

The Newcastle player was interfering with an opponent and gaining an advantage for his team by being there.

As a goalkeeper i feel more of these offsides should be given.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

How long til Dermot Gallagher or Mark Halsey pops up to tell us it was something other than an obviously dismal decision?


edit: Already happened lol

 

[L1NETT]

"Linesmans right, you're wrong!"

Thanks Pardew, now fuck off.

 

[Frank the Great]

If the ref had allowed the goal to stand, no one would be arguing that it should have been called back. No one.

Apart from what Mark Halsey said didn't actually happen.

 

[FuturusX]

City are the new United in terms of refereeing.

City are the new UTD period.

 

[Meier]

I think every City fan can concede we were lucky there regardless of the possible interpretations of the rule.

Pardew getting caught by the mic there is about as close as we'll get to a pre-HT interview like they do in American football.

 

[Frank the Great]

The Newcastle player was interfering with an opponent and gaining an advantage for his team by being there.

Wtf? This isn't true just because you say it is.

 

[Hixx]

Apart from what Mark Halsey said didn't actually happen.

the ball was going to hit that mag player in the face before he jumped out the way

i think it should've stood tho

 

[dc89]

Apart from what Mark Halsey said didn't actually happen.

Right. It's time for a yes or no answer.

Can I PR my way out of this one?

 

[FuturusX]

Anyway, the quality of the goal should always factor into the decision regarding offside

 

[Gareth Bale]

"lino right, you're wrong"

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL how can you overrule your linesman in that situation

Assuming the ref saw Gouffran's position then he should have.

"Gary Lineker ‏@GaryLineker 13m
Sorry but that is a crap decision. Wiped out a goal of the season contender."

Also. If the geordies are gonna riot I'd very much appreciate if they'd pop over to the uni and smash up some of the windows so I don't have to do my exam tomorrow.
He says, watching football the day before.

 

[Cellbomber]

Only time I've seen that called was in the world cup when Italy played the US. I think McBride was called for it but he was a little more in front of the goalie. It was questionable then just cause Italy was involved.

The player was definatley not in Harts line of site for anyone saying that. He was clearly off to the left hand side in diving distance to Hart.

Halsey needs to get his eyes checked. Nobody was doing either of the things he says should have disallowed the goal.

He didn't interfere with play at all, though. There was no interference, he didn't go for the ball, he wasn't blocking any defenders, nothing.

 

[Clegg]

Phil Neville is scouting the Getafe game too.


Apparently we're looking at Saul Niguez, a DM/CB.

How was he interfering with play? If anyone is blocking the view of Hart it is Demichelis rather than Gouffran.

:lol

Terrific decision, if only because it winds everyone up.

 

[LegoArmo]

As far as I see it, if Gouffran wasn't there, same outcome, goal.

He was not interfering in any way.

 

[Batigol]

Seriously. He's not even in front of Hart. He's beside him. He's not interfering at all

 

[Empty]

that was such a bad decision but maybe worth it for pardew's hilarious hissy fits

 

[PaulLFC]

So the ref says Gouffran interfered with play - except he was actually moving out of the way in order to not interfere, and wasn't in Hart's line of sight.

Incompetence.

 

[Clegg]

:lol

Would you call it a banterific decision?

 

[operon]

DAT oil money

 

[Feorax]

Mike Jones was the one who allowed the goal for the beach ball incident wasn't he?

 

[FuturusX]

Toon are not out of this. Keep their heads and they can get something here. Ride the wave of injustice!

 

[General Patton]

Are we sure it didn't hit Gouffran or whomever? It's not clear. It's close.

 

[GorillaJu]

Okay, so if it comes off a City player, doesn't that mean it absolutely can't be offside because it's an opposition player?

 

[Batigol]

Ref and linesman need to be fucked off to the conference after this game

 

[Jeff Albertson]

If it deflected is it not second phase anyway or does that not exist anymore?

 

[The_Hitcher89]

Are we sure it didn't hit Gouffran or whomever? It's not clear. It's close.

Troll.
