Bit late now.

Bit late now.

Wouldn’t be if it was Man Utd.

Wouldn’t be if it was Man Utd.

Fair point, well made, not a moment too late

Thought he was at the time but equally thought I’ve lost the plot on rules and VAR checks when nothing was said.

No - because he wasn't interfering with play or receiving the ball. By the time the cross came into him, he was well onside again.

 

[Da Man Clay]

No.

Offside isn't offside anymore. It used to be a simple rule, now there's different phases, interfering with play etc. It should just go back to being plain old offside.

I just knew we would give Bale his first goal on return to Spuds, such a Brighton thing to do.

This.
I’m not sure everyone that watches football understands offside anymore.
