Yeah, but but but, but.....refs need respect.

[Razoray]

Surely if that is the rule, you can stand in front of the keeper all day, not let a shot hit you and it's a goal. 

[Bobby Hundreds]

The offside rule is a fucking disgrace now. Fuck this interfering with play shit if anyone is beyond the defence when the ball is played its off, simple. Not selective each fucking time.

City getting a very generous VAR decision, apparently. 
 

What a surprise. 

Just seen it. To be honest, if we had that ruled out then I’d be a bit peeved. It looks like Akanji is offside but the header from Ake was going in anyway and the keeper wasn’t put off by Akanji. I did only see it in real time footage though - no slow downed replay etc.

Laughable isn't it....keep making abysmal decisions but if the poor bastards on the end of those abysmal decisions dare complain it is in the book they go....

 

It is a joke.

Looked to me as if keeper delayed dive because Akanji had unsighted him.

That’s what Sky are saying too. If that is the case then it should definitely be disallowed. I think the reasoning for allowing it will be that Akanji didn’t attempt to play the ball and that the keeper committed to the dive anyway. 
 

I’d like to see it slowed down though to have a more informed opinion. 
 

Either way, they’re still cunts.

Thats a disgraceful decision. Unbelievable 

It’s a warning to Silva, he’s getting the Klopp treatment, he’s had the temerity to call them out so they’re dealing with him. 

[TheHowieLama]

Akanji is trying to play the ball FFS - of course he is off.

He did though, he just whiffed.

Even if they insist that he isn't trying to play it, if Akanji isn't in the way, then it is a routine save for Leno. He cannot dive until the ball passes Akanji, who is an offside position. It is a farce.

A warning - he has been booked in every game so far I think.

Yes a warning. Booking is one thing, cheating you quite another.

Leno doesn't dive until it passes Akanji. He is adjusting his feet but can't commit, as he doesn’t know where it will go.

Glen Murray nails it on bbc site....

 

As the header from Ake goes past Akanji, his leg flicks out, as if he is trying to kick it.

The keeper hasn't got the chance to comprehend how to change his movement if Akanji does get that touch, so for me that is interfering with play.

That is offside for me.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I don’t think Akanji tries to play it. But, Leno appears to delay his dive. 
 

Now I’ve seen this view, offside. Should be disallowed.

Cunts.

[TD_LFC]

You hate to see it, poor Todd.

 

Caicedo can get fucked as well.

[Tj hooker]

Get in Forest 

[Razoray]

Leno misses the ball by inches but hasnt dived until it passes Akanji. 

[polymerpunkah]

Elanga puts Forest ahead vs Chelsea.

 

Fuck up in mid-field with Gallagher and Caicedo and a very good finish.

[TheDrowningMan]

Pochettino has to be on very, very thin ice if they don't recover to win this one.

[niallers]

If they kept getting very tight, 60/40 decisions wrong you could get by with a shrug o the shoulders. But the level of wrong decisions they're getting wrong is bordering on corruption

Possibly but How can any coach work under that structure though it's a mess.
