Yes, Crucial bit is the interpretation of “a save”. I believe refs are told to interpret this as the last man ie a Goalkeeper or a Defender making a goal line clearance. In this case the defender is not considered to be making a save as the keeper was behind him ready to make a save. Therefore...

“If the goalie goes to make a save in exactly that position, and the ball bounces off him and to Wright in an offside position, is Wright offside?” Yes. Exactly that. The law specifically makes “a save” an exemption. So if the defender blocks the shot and it goes to Wright he’s onside, but if...

Agree, but it is how the laws define “control”.

Yep. He was blocking a shot, so he expected the direction of the ball

Agree. But that’s the law

Here’s the law: A player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent who deliberately played* the ball, including by deliberate handball, is not considered to have gained an advantage, unless it was a deliberate save by any opponent. The defender has deliberately played the ball...

It’s the current laws. Same as Diaz for Liv v Everton on Wednesday

Defender deliberately hits the ball which puts Hadji back onside.

Basic keeping. If you step out you’re area, then you have to take control and clear it.

He was in an offside position but not considered offside because the ball doesn’t go straight to him. Defender makes a deliberate attempt to hit the ball, so when it hits him, Wright is now back onside. Shit rule, but it’s the rule

Allen not tracking his runner As well. very poor all round

Think that’s right. Deliberate intervention by defender, therefore Wright is back onside. Happened to Liverpool in the week as well. I mean it’s a Shit rule, but it is the rule

Wow. Thomas just let the CF wander off him to let them out from the press. So so poor

Anyone seen Jamie Allen?

Allen’s positioning was excellent and defensive passing very good, but struggles to transition us into attack though Grimes defensive play also excellen, but was a bit slow today and unusually caught in possession Both playing against the strong sides gives our wobbly defence the protection it...
