Shows once again that players generally don’t know the rules.
Confused by this thread. I had the game on and was more than happy that Jenas, rather than the execrable McManaman, was covering it. The incident was a key one and Jenas explained it well but seems to be getting mocked on here because he knows what the rule is. Maybe I'm missing something.
I thought the same, and it seemed like the referee and the VAR were also in agreement.Quote:

On closer inspection, the original post doesn’t say that, but it’s confusing as the post title and content are part of what same sentence. I guess the op just found Jenas’ comment funny , i.e he’s offside but he’s not offside.Quote:

Agreed, but that’s not how I read the original post, which I later acknowledged.Quote:

I was once ruled offside by an attractive young lineswoman after my jockstrap came loose as I was tearing down the wing. Luckily the referee overuled the decision, but the official running the line was adamant that I was a least a foot offside!
Hanging to the left again, was it :hehe:Quote:

You've obviously been there yourself :biggrin:Quote:

Is that supposed to be humerus?Quote:
