He definitely interferes with Sa's ability to come for the ball, so I'd rule it out. Close one though.

It was a corner, he wasn’t in an offside position until the header, and by then he definitely wasn’t interfering, so it can’t be offside. Was it enough to be given as a foul on the goalkeeper is the question, and I don’t see it, he’s allowed to stand there and stand his ground.


Edit: as above.

It’s an interesting one, particularly given how late in the game it was and with referees admitting they don’t like to make big calls like that towards the end of games. City do always seem to end up on the right side of most borderline decisions. I’m sure it isn’t anything to do with their owners litterally having premier league refs on the payroll until this season.

A player moving from, or standing in, an offside position is in the way of an opponent and interferes with the movement of the opponent towards the ball this is an offside offence if it impacts on the ability of the opponent to play or challenge for the ball

Which didn’t happen. He only interfered with the keeper’s movement (arguably) when the corner was taken, and it’s not possible to be offside from a corner. His position became an offside position once the ball was headed at goal, by which time he wasn’t near the keeper enough to be interfering.

Silva definitely barged into Sa. If Sa had wanted to come and claim the ball that would have impeded him doing so.
I don't think that was in the spirit of the game. Not for me. It's not a hill I'd die on though.

Crazy subs by Sahin.


Bringing on Emre Can to play at RB/RWB vs Vini Jr? The commentator on Irish tv called that one as going to backfire even as Can was coming onto the pitch.

[DerKrampus]

Why is everyone wanking themselves off over Haaland's goal? He basically had a convulsion mid-air and scored.

[spud_gun]

Does Jordan Pickford shave his legs? They look very shiny.

[Irishnev]

Barca 2up away to Madrid, Lewandowski with a brace and he is also missed a sitter. Mbappe missed a big chance as well

End to end
