       Possibly because, now retired, Rustyref was a high level
       assistant referee and knows the interpretations better. The last
       time the former premier league referee probably had a flag in
       his hand was over 20 years ago.
       The interpretation of the offside law is awful, and leaves
       players with the option of leaving the ball in the hope the
       attacker is given offside (easier with VAR) or play it and get
       caught like in this instance.
       The fact that one of the best assistants in the country, if not
       the world, has given the non offside suggests that it’s the law
       that’s an ass, not the officials implementing what they have
       been told to
       [/quote]
       Not quite fully retired, but my knees gave up on L3 a few years
       ago  :)
       I'm now a senior observer and we get shown videos on things just
       like this.  Once Mings deliberately touches the ball, and there
       is no requirement for him to control it, the offside is reset so
       it can't be offside.
       [/quote] The law is an ass then...........everyone in their
       right mind can see it should be offside.
       What fool(s) changed this to make it not offside?

       As I said before, I don't like the current law.  But it is what
       it is, and you can't blame the match officials as there is no
       way they could say that was offside.
       Laws are set by IFAB, so if you want to blame anyone it is them.

       First of all i should declare i have been a season ticket holder
       at villa park for the last 15 years or so, tho
       Never lived or worked within 100 miles of the ground. I like to
       think i am fairly impartial when it comes to refereeing when
       watching the team i support or any other team, some may disagree
       of course.
       Having said in a post on the appointments thread that villa fans
       wouldnt be looking forward to mr moss refereeing tonights game,
       as many villa fans think when he referees villa games villa dont
       get the rub of the green.
       I would prefer to say he is not the villas lucky charm.
       Tonight on two game changing decisions i have to write both were
       correct in law and villa should have no complaints.
       Although i dont like the offside law personally as it stands, it
       is what it is and was applied correctly
       By mr cann, perhaps the best ever assistant referee from our
       shores, and backed up mr moss and var.
       The error made is clearly from mings, who as he often does,
       overplays in a tight area trying to be clever and lacks
       concentration.
       Personally i cannot see how it is fair that a defender can be
       dispossessed by an opponent running from a clear offside
       position out of the eye line of that defender ie behind him.
       I can understand dean smith saying no one thought it should be a
       goal, but officials have to apply the law, as much of an ass as
       it is.
       Secondly penalty kick rightly awarded as the law stands at
       present. No complaints in law.
       Again not a law i agree with, heading at a defenders arms from a
       short distance when the defender is off balance
       Ie one foot of the ground which usually results in ones arms
       moving in an upward position.
       Dean smith should know better than to back chat the fourth
       official and certainly not continue to back chat the referee
       after receiving a yellow card no matter how upset he is. Reading
       previous posts here and listening to grandad on bt, he isnt the
       only one who doesnt understand the present laws.
       Overall although villa put in good defensive performance and
       counter attacked well, especially after recent off the field
       events, i would say city shaded it.
       Maybe it could have been different if villa had taken their
       chances but same could be said of city too.
       As regards laws of the game, the way the game is played and
       administered, i guess things have changed massively since the
       days of receiving lnvites from lancaster gate to fa county youth
       cup finals along with the head of referee development in the
       late eighties, but alas not for the better.

       A very good post.
       I think the most alarming things for me were Rio Ferdinand
       saying that players don't keep up with changes to the laws of
       the game, and then Dean Smith pretty much said the same in his
       interview.  If I used that excuse for making a mistake in my
       work, i.e. I hadn't kept up with the financial services
       regulations, I would at best face disciplinary action and at
       worst face prosecution.
       Footballers claiming they don't know the laws of the game is an
       absolute nonsense.  They are published online, the changes are
       well publicised in the media, they have many hours each week of
       free time, it really is a totally ridiculous situation for them
       to say they don't understand the laws.

       When I was at Újpest with Nebojša we did a weekly session on our
       light training day on the LOTG. Most weeks we covered offside
       because the players just simply didn't get it, we even rounded
       up copies of the LOTG in Hungarian, Serbian, Romanian and
       Croatian in case it was a language barrier thing (we did the
       sessions in English) but it made zero difference!! To this day
       in at least 3 out of 5 games we have a goal disallowed for
       offside!  You can take a horse to water but...

       Don't forget the regular visits SG1 officials make to clubs

       Are sg1 officials allowed to visit clubs other than on matchdays

       I don't know but this particular law isn't recent at all - we
       saw it with Kane/Lovren in the Liverpool V Spurs game three
       years ago and I'm sure it's been around for quite a bit longer
       than that. It's not like it was only introduced in June.

       Spot on. Under the current laws, there's barely even a debate to
       be had. Quite clearly onside.

       I quite agree and am aware the law hasnt changed in the last few
       years, i just wondered if the practice of visiting clubs other
       than on matchdays was still being untertaken in these covid
       times
