Why does this matter? Offside is offside.

I wish the offside rule was applied like it was in that goal more often. Benefit should always be given to the attacker - same with tackles in which the defender gets the slightest of 'touches' on the ball and yet smashes the forward into row Z.
I read this in Mancini's voice. Made it even better.

That's a silly point to try and make, the Southampton defenders were clearly trying to get him offside and when they successfully did so, it should have been called.

I bet he's shitting his pants regardless after yesterday
They should just use replay tech for offsides. Stupid FIFA.
You're right, I just think it isn't something to get raucous about.
It's offside, yes, but that's almost impossible for the linesman to call, and he's supposed to give advantage to the attacker in these situations. I'd rather those marginal calls be given to the attacker than start seeing a slew of legitimate passes and through balls be deemed offside.
Toure.
He looked scared when they showed him at the Etihad.
Juve should be concentrating on Jojo or Llorente. Your defenders are great.

Nah, that would become so annoying so quickly (I live in the land of replays). Replays should be there for penalty decisions and goals.

On second viewing, it was so close I can see why they didn't call it.
Thankfully they have ears as well to hear the thump of the ball.
Because they are men with flags. Magical flags of magic.
But players couldn't even hear the ref's whistle in the Tyne-Wear derby last season!
Unless we introduce technology, those decisions are going to happen. It was literally about 4 inches over the line. Advantage should be given to the attacker, and I think if we start over penalising, and preventing legitimate attacks, it'll ruin the game more than if the odd one like that sneaks through. The actual advantage to Tevez was almost non-existant, and I'd rather smart forward play be rewarded.
And I fully accept I'm being hypocritical here, considering I told Usho yesterday that offside decisions were objective. I'll take the stick, but I stand behind what I'm saying here.
Exactly, and the game dictates that advantage should be given to the attacker in these sort of decisions.

Please. Everyone knows it's Torres.

Mancini with the assist.
I love Neville's commentary. Unmatched insight and more honest than a tight white dress.

Priorities is not in Marotta's vocabulary.

Om a second view it certainly became obvious as he was no where in line with the defense.
And what? Smart defending be given the boot? Offside is an offside.
In this case, Tevez should have been awarded only if he held onto his run a bit longer.
He's better than RM strikers.
Been like that since day 1, no heart. Diva

When can we make a transfer in FF? I have a feeling Kun will be out for ages
Are you like 13 years old?
I thought they said it was 2 fans?
I just realized that I will be not able to watch La Liga and Series A matches here in the US. What the fuck is this shit? Why is not espndeportes, goltv and fox not showing anything? Is this temporary? I'm so fucking mad right now that I'm about to kill somebody. Fuck Aljazeera and fuck all this bullshit goddammit.
Guys, you have to remember that Bonucci can still be suspended and you don't want to play all the year with Lucio, right???
