Bit against the run of play imo but interesting to see what happens now as defensively they've generally been pretty decent under Rooney.

Playing as a deeper CM & doing well by all accounts. Just got one of their players sent off for lashing out at him.

He doesn't understand that for some reason or is choosing to wilfully ignore it rather than admit his mistake.

Well, I knew the offside law & knew Dublin's goal in no way breaks it as he has to be in an offside position when the ball is played by a teammate, thanks for proving it. Thank god you don't referee the games my team plays!

You're trying yourself in knots here... For the "purposes of offside" being the key. There's no offside decision to be made as he's miles on when the ball is played. The law change is to stop the Ebanks-Blake scenario as linked to earlier where he would have been offside when the initial shot...

I'm not sure there's many jobs you could go on video publicly slagging off your employer & their customers & not be sacked immediately. Instead he was kept on until his contract expired. Difficult to feel sorry for him there. Not injured, just not fancied despite them struggling. Only played 4...

Right... But what law would Dion be circumventing? It's literally impossible to disallow that goal, even under today's laws, I'm not sure why you're so convinced otherwise?

"Circumvent the law" bit is specific to circumventing the pass back law so doesn't apply. I'm 100% certain that no referee would judge it as "showing a lack of respect for the game" either, that's usually something like disrespecting the sport by urinating on the pitch etc. It can be used if...

I understand that. Which law NOW would see it disallowed? Can you link me to it?

You'll have to show me which law that is, from what I can see he never commited any offence.

Would they still want Baka as well?

Yes, we know why the Man City one stood, I was arguing it with people on Twitter at the time. It's a daft law but by the law the correct decision was made. I'm just confused as to why you think Dublin's would now be disallowed?

Gotcha & agreed 👍🏻

Exactly, and most of them missing all at the same time too.

He can only be penalised offside from when the ball is played by a teammate. When the cross comes in from Telfer(?) he is miles onside & this is the last touch by a City player. There is no cause to rule the goal out either then or by today's laws.

Even by today's rules he isn't in an offside position, the goal would stand.

He was never in an offside position.

I'm interested to hear his take on that video & his release but I'm not sitting through 50mins. Any summary or time I can jump to?

Been linked with him in the past but think they're about to get Jayden Stockley, doubt they'd want both?

No surprise sacking Harris, just thought they'd want a more progressive manager. McCarthy did ok with Ipswich but was a disaster more recently at APOEL. Assume it's just until the end of the season & they'll use dinosaur tactics (which might suit their squad tbf) to ensure they stay up then...
