Refdrid watch 16-17

There are a few more or less detailed formulations of this, but I took it from the official FIFA 'laws of the game 16/17' pdf

http://www.fifa.com/mm/Document/FootballDevelopment/Refereeing/02/79/92/44/Laws.of.the.Game.2016.2017_Neutral.pdf

As I said, I often have a similar feeling as you, that many times offside striker do slightly influence the positioning of defenders to the detriment of their ability to defend even if they don't do much.

But the law as it is, Morata's offside position and what he did in it was not an offense and the goal was legal.

About your point with the defender drawn to Morata, I mean, ultimately that's the crux defenders have to learn to deal with, no?
The very meaning of a defensive line means you have a position beyond which the striker is offside.

To move to the striker when he is offside is nonsensical as the striker is offside precisely because the defender is further ahead lol, you have to defend in the knowledge that the striker is offside and the trust he can't receive the ball legally.
The offside trap works by moving AWAY from the defender, not be drawn to him lol.

The offsides rule is retarded.  You're asking the ref to make as much as 5 judgement calls in one play... they have a hard enough time making the basic calls nowadays and you do this to them

In the old days, it a player was offsides regardless of his involvement, it's offsides.  No need to go back to that... but you can make it so that if a player is in an offsides position in the box regardless of his involvement, the play is offsides.

Another controversial thread started by someone who has nightmares of Ronaldo winning another Ballon d'Or to go along with his CL trophy and Euro trophy.

Meanwhile his boyfriend is lucky not to be behind bars after being found guilty of a felony criminal offense that in any normal country would require you to serve up to 5 years in jail.

Ho hum...

Agreed with Common Sense in this case.

The inferiority complex here is amazing

Morata interferes with the play obstructing the defender who was trying to intercept the pass, it's an offside.

A good troll thread with immense potential for banter once again gets derailed with serious and logical discussion, smh.

Round 4

Ramos handball and second yellow, and red not given against Espanyol at 0-0, by the referee Alejandro José Hernández Hernández. He cave the exact same handball for Umtiti/Barcelona just few weeks back vs Sevilla.

I'll stop the result on first bias in situations like this. It's the result when it still was fair match.

"Marked as Real Refdrid referees"

It's no secret most of the refs are RM fans. They do their best but in the end Madrid won't win the whole thing anyway... (:

What do you make of this harmonica ?

Round 9 please

Valencia should have been a man down 30 mins in

Then Abdennour should have been sent off as well in 2nd half.

Ref was ridiculous in allowing so many straight leg tackles. So dirty

Not to mention Busquets should have seen his 2nd yellw card for a professional foul. Such a robbery, couldn't believe my eyes

It wasnt a robbery.... ref was an idiot for both sides

How they are robbed.this referee allowed them to play rugby. If it was a football match barca would win easily. It goes both way. I hated the referee until the last minute

Marcherano wouldn't look out of place on a rugby field tbh

Round 13

Alejandro José Hernández Hernández, already marked as Real Madrid referee, gave fake penalty at the beginning of the game at 0-0 to ease up Refdrid from CL midweek. Game ended 2-1 vs Gijon.
