FUCKING GET IN!

Beautiful

Worth waiting for

I realise it’s the least of his failings but a top goalkeeper does not concede 12 out of 13 Grimsby penalties.
-
The third Grimsby goal was a deflection off the ManUre defender so have no idea how it was disallowed.
Absolutely loved the penalty shoot out though as their new Recruits, Cunha and Mbueno both missed to send Grimbo through. Always loved Grimsby.
Hope we don't play them in the third round though as I don't fancy us in a penalty shoot out. I will wait until the final to see that match up.
Chicago: Happy as Larry.

In fairness to Ruined Amorim he is right. The side he sends out are shit.

Because he was in an offside position when the ball was played by his team mate, and Maguire playing the ball didn't make it a separate play. The IFAB Laws Of The Game specifically account for this scenario:
-
"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."
Maguire deliberately played the ball, it did not deflect off (of) him.
-
Yes they do.
Maguire intentionally played the ball (unsuccessfully), so the attacker should not have been penalised for being offside.
Totally clear cut in law. Although the law is an arse.
-
The laws do specifically deal with it but to say he is onside due to the deliberate action
We had a similar incident against Luton away in the promotion season where our goal was flagged offside (Spence scored maybe?)..

While / whilst Sesko went 10th.

You wouldn't want to pay that much money for a striker that milky.
-
Now keep reading to the next bit.
At the very most it's a matter of interpretation by the ref, but I'd argue that under the IFAB definition Maguire did not at any point have control of the ball and it was therefore not considered a deliberate play. You're welcome to argue the stupidity and/or the unnecessary complexity of the rule, but as it stands I think the ref got it right.
-
Only because Grimsbot won on penalties. If the Scum had made it through because of that I would rightly feel flvery sorry for the home supporters. Either way all’s well that ends well.
Chicago: The forgiving sort.

Thanks for the heads up. Have you thought of becoming a VAR official? You'd be perfect. You don't understand how the laws should be applied to actual football.
Let me be absolutely clear here. The referee was wrong in law.
I'm not saying that they wouldn't try to justify it was a legitimate decision....that's why the laws are so complex. Wriggle room.
-
Far too much interpretation. The guy was offside according to the Clough rule of if you're on the pitch you are interfering with play. That should be the end of it, but the rules on this, on hand ball and on everything else have changed to the point it's just make it up as you go along.
