I've seen the video, I watched the game, I posted a screenshot that I made. I have gone as far as to acknowledge that the current rules leave enough room for it to be onside. The issues I have raised are about whether Rashford's actions cause confusion in the defenders mind and therefore confer...

He stays as close to the ball as he possibly can. Why do you think he does this?

This is a misrepresentation of events Rashford very nearly touches the ball several times, it's a matter of cms. He shields the ball until the very last moment and there is barely enough room for Bruno to strike it. The image at the following link may make this clearer: https://imgbb.com/HtLBfgz...

I have stated that the defenders could and should have done better in earlier posts, describing their actions as poor. That doesn't mean the silliness of the law is eliminated.

Think back to the recent Salah goal. It is the defenders touch that makes Salah onside by creating a new phase of play. It's a minefield, no wonder they were confused and reluctant.

Is that all your post said?

Rashford shields the ball on to Bruno's foot. Until yesterday most would have thought of that as interference. Turns out, to the letter of the law, it isn't.

I think your bias might be clouding your judgement in this instance. I don't think rule changes were intended for such freak outcomes and they will probably get tweaked once more to address such aberrations. Walker and Akanji will have learnt from yesterday (as have a lot of fans, managers and...

His finish yesterday is underrated. Rashford didn't do a particularly good job of getting out of the way for the shot which made it much more difficult than it might have been.

Not much I can disagree with. The only sympathy I would offer to the defenders is that for most of their careers, and footballing life, the incident would have been a clear offside. It must be difficult to fully digest changes to the rules until you have seen them exemplified a few times...

He did, he was going through the motions thinking it was an offside. If Rashford isn't there he behaves differently.

You are going to keep spinning regardless of what I show you.

Look at the image in the link I posted.

You can enjoy it without having to misrepresent the event, just as I am enjoying the win. Rashford had an impact, however "little" you wish to portray it and if it was City or Pool benefitting you would likely be squealing.

They thought Rashford was offside and thus went through the motions. Walker still gets ahead of Bruno and even waves a lazy leg to block once he sees Bruno is striking the ball. I'm having trouble getting the image in the post but here is a link https://ibb.co/HtLBfgz
