Why is Hansen (MOTD) calling it marginally offices? Suarez didn't get the ball when Lucas passed to Meirless ... As he wasn't interfering with the play, why are they claiming his position is marginally offside (which it was if he gets the ball)?
[quote author=singlerider link=topic=46545.msg1383647#msg1383647 date=1313924086]
Presumably he's working on the basis that as he's in the mix so to speak he's interfering with play as he's occupying one of the defenders?

Could be - but then that Big Sam trick during free kicks (of screening the GKs) would fall under the same 'marginally offside' rule no?
The first goal - I understand why it's so 'scandalous' for poor Arsene. But the 2nd? Fuck off.

If he was being tracked/marked by a defender then he was interfering with play.

How many attackers aren't tracked by defenders when running near the play? This happens all the time, no?

As I see it the ball was hit in his direction, it's a clear offside.
Why are you even discussing it?

Yeah, I don't actually agree, I'm just trying to see where he may be coming from.

he's talking about the second goal

Oh...
Well Suarez was offside for the 2nd as well but the pass went to Meireles so Hansen didn't even have to mention it really.

*wonders if Modo read the title of the thread*

I wonder if the day will come when Arsene Wenger says in a press conference that they were beaten by a better side, because that's what the case was yesterday, instead of blaming anyone but his own players.
Frimpong - on a booking but flies into a tackle that was unneccesary with his studs up. He was lucky it was not a straight red for going over the top of the ball to be honest.

Was a bit confused myself to be honest. I really thought it was about the first goal 'cause the second goal was clearly onside.

So the title was just a smoke screen?
I like your thinking!

I get it. Now can we please move on...

Touchy.
Mods should change your name fro Modo to Mardy at that rate

Why didnt he sub this frimpong chap? He was always going to gt sent off. He shoul have gone earlier for loudly telling the linesman to fuck off.

I thought Suarez was interfering with play, he occupied the defender so by the letter of the law he's interfering isn't he?
[/quote]
he was not interfering with the direct pass to meireles

What was with Walcott eyeballing the ref as well, surprised he didn't get his marching orders.

Wenger's a bellend. A losing one.

there are two long weeks till sept 1st and arsenal could buy defensive experience and imho that's all they need to mount a title challenge let alone finish top 4.

A player is still offside even if he's not interfering with play. The fact that he's not interfering means the goal should be allowed, but it doesn't stop the player being offside in the first place.
