Kane v Liverpool was onside because it was played to him by a Liverpool player. Mings was trying to take the ball away from where Rodri was.Na
Not offside imo. Weve seen it with defenders who have a striker miles offside behind him, go to play the ball, miss it and that action leaves striker onside.
Kane v Liverpool a few years ago comes to mind
I’m an advocate of VAR but unfortunately the referees using it don’t have a clue. They need to be held accountable for their poor decisions.Can a passing VAR advocate please explain why our game vs Burnley stopped for 6 minutes to decide how badly Luke Shaw had fouled someone in an incident where no goal was scored yet didn’t spend a second looking at the most obvious offside in the history of offsides before City scored a goal vs Villa tonight?
Remind us of one.The VAR was spot on, tons of goals have been scored like that. Its a silly rule but lets not say City are the first club to score from it.

"Tons"? Got an example? I don't recall a single one.The VAR was spot on, tons of goals have been scored like that. Its a silly rule but lets not say City are the first club to score from it.
I dont think the direction of the ball comes into it. Kane was on because Lovren made an attempt to play the ball. This just looks strange because of the distance of the offside.Kane v Liverpool was onside because it was played to him by a Liverpool player.

Ah, nvm. City fan.The VAR was spot on, tons of goals have been scored like that. Its a silly rule but lets not say City are the first club to score from it.
Just admit you got lucky, it would be a lot more honest.The VAR was spot on, tons of goals have been scored like that. Its a silly rule but lets not say City are the first club to score from it.
Which is exactly what happenedI dont think the direction of the ball comes into it. Kane was on because Lovren made an attempt to play the ball. This just looks strange because of the distance of the offside.
Mings wasnt even trying to clear it, he was chesting it down and controlling it.
The problem for Mings is he wasnt going anywhere and if thats offside then how long can Mings hold it until Rodri can tackle him?
If hes tackling Mings right away its offside imo. Mings is in possession of the ball so the ball in isnt a factor (i think?)
Show me even 1The VAR was spot on, tons of goals have been scored like that. Its a silly rule but lets not say City are the first club to score from it.
He didn't get it under control because rodri tackled him before he could. The chest control wasn't completed.I dont think the direction of the ball comes into it. Kane was on because Lovren made an attempt to play the ball. This just looks strange because of the distance of the offside.

Well, exactly. We all know that if a Villa player had controlled the ball and passed it to Rodri then he wouldn’t be offside. We also all know that that didn’t happen. All of us but not John Moss. Because VAR completely failed to point out the bleeding obvious to him. After he failed to make a bleeding obvious call because of VAR.Tweet

I would say he quite clearly stole it rather than received it.
But Mings has plenty of time to get it away.Which is exactly what happened
Player offside, defender plays the ball, leads to goal. Right here.... Mings deliberately played the ball.Remind us of one.
He tackles him after he's touched the ball.I don’t get it, surely he gained a huge advantage by being offside therefore he is?
Surely the new phase of play doesn’t count if he tackles him before he actually properly controls it?
This doesn't make sense at all. Of course Mings could have just headed it away. Why should he just give up the ball like that? He knows he's got plenty of time because there's no one anywhere near him, apart from the bloke that's 30 yards offside.But Mings has plenty of time to get it away.
I think its close but I would say Mings is tackled rather than Rodri being offside for a pass he didnt receive
He took two touches (a chest and a foot) before Rodri swipes it off his foot. How many touches does he get before you call it control?I don’t get it, surely he gained a huge advantage by being offside therefore he is?
Surely the new phase of play doesn’t count if he tackles him before he actually properly controls it?
He’s hardly got it under control though.He tackles him after he's touched the ball.
So another shit decision makes tonights shit decision ok ?Player offside, defender plays the ball, leads to goal. Right here.... Mings deliberately played the ball.
Because he wasn't offside after Mings took down the ball. Its nothing to do with VAR.That's hilarious really and I don't mean its solely done to benefit City, the referees are just incompetent. It just happened that City benefited tonight. Could be anyone.
VAR can spot:
1) Mane's armpit being offside vs Everton (wtf lol)
2) A player's finger making him offside in a frame by frame analysis
3) Shaw fouling someone on one end and calling the play back after a counter attack and possible red card for the other team
But they can't spot:
1) A player coming back from an offside position, not only coming back but actively tackling the guy who is trying to control the ball in the same phase of play
You are aware that Rodri tackled Mings, right? You did watch the game?Player offside, defender plays the ball, leads to goal. Right here.... Mings deliberately played the ball.
Got another?Player offside, defender plays the ball, leads to goal. Right here.... Mings deliberately played the ball.
