We have figured them out. Now we smash.

Shh.

Expect a tactical masterclass from Poch in the second half now.

by Sri Sun Nov 06, 2016 12:55 pm

Thanks RG.

Owen says he thinks Alexis was the one "interfering with play" which is obviously bollocks since 'interfering with play' is defined as touching/playing the ball.
Unbelievable that professional footballers-turned-high-paid-commentators can't seem to take 5 minutes of their lifetime to actually take a look at the offside rules in black and white.
Embarrassing stuff.

But women don't understand offside, of course

by Nishankly Sun Nov 06, 2016 12:57 pm

That's offside. Arsenal are doing this prime Fergie way, Winning games based on proper flukes. Damnnnnnnn

by Sri Sun Nov 06, 2016 12:58 pm

Not offside.

Koscielny was the only one close to the ball/Wimmer, and he was onside.

Please go with your denial.

by Jay29 Sun Nov 06, 2016 12:59 pm

Howard Webb says it wasn't offside hmm

by Hapless_Hans Sun Nov 06, 2016 12:59 pm

Even Webb

"Sanchez doesn't make any action" rofl

That is so dumb. Obviously, women are always on the right side. :coffee:

Why the denial Hans?

by RealGunner Sun Nov 06, 2016 1:01 pm

It wasn't offside. Would have been offside if an Arsenal player had scored the own goal in favour of Spurs

by Nishankly Sun Nov 06, 2016 1:01 pm

Replay shows Kos is the closest to the ball, He look on, So yeah its very arguable usually not given off. Legit goal.

Thank you. Finally!

by Hapless_Hans Sun Nov 06, 2016 1:02 pm

The Arsenal players are attakcking the ball. What else are they doing? They're not running there by chance. That's the definition of interfering with the opponent.

Unbelievable stuff from Webb.

Can someone pls post a photo of the call. Need some inspection

by rincon Sun Nov 06, 2016 1:03 pm

The last time a Manchester team won at home in the league was in september hmm

Why bother. Hans is obviously right. He's the most knowledgeable person on the planet wrt any footballing rules, with Gil a distant second.

Amazing how 3 pundits in the BT Studio who are PAID to inform the mass about rules and what not openly admit they have no clue if it was offside or not Laughing

Then they start arguing with a former Referee of the decade Sir Howard Webb rofl

by Lucifer Sun Nov 06, 2016 1:06 pm

If a offside player presses a opponent CB who in haste passes backward leading to own goal, is that a legal goal? No. Same situation here, Arsenal players' action lead to the goal, who were offside.

by Hapless_Hans Sun Nov 06, 2016 1:07 pm

A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:
[..]
interfering with an opponent by:
[..]
challenging an opponent for the ball or
clearly attempting to play a ball which is close to him when this action impacts on an opponent or
making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

Two Arsenal players are offside and attacking Özil's freekick.
Seriously. What the hell, Howard Webb. This is unbelievable.

Too small margins this time, Kos seemed on. Seen it go both ways, Nothing new to be really surprised here.

Its a good match!

What a tackle Bellerin, FFS, great play.

by Sri Sun Nov 06, 2016 1:10 pm

Koscielny was played on by Wanyama.

Alexis was 'not in line with the GK or the ball, so not interfering' acc NBCSN commentators.

Drew a line on the screengrab and talked about it - didn't try to stir up a controversy just to jump up some ratings/viewership like BT is doing.

Let's get back to the game now.

by RealGunner Sun Nov 06, 2016 1:11 pm

Bellerin is a gift from God
