Aston Villa v Newcastle United Post-Match Thread

I believe his Dong had crossed the Rubicon.

Dongs aside. Whatever happened to the recent  ruling of there having to be "air" or space between defender and attacker recieving the ball? And attacker getting benefit of doubt?

I mean, when will the offside rule actually have a rule and that rule is appropriately ruled?

[adrenachrome]

Apparently there was no such thing and Andy Gray made it all up.

part of the attacker's body has to be past the point of no return

What about coitus interruptus?

I suppose that s why we can't have VT.

The former never existed and the latter isn't used because anything that given in the attacker's favour when fractionally ahead will be criticised, so it's safer for officials this way.

The law was brought in to prevent goal-hanging rather than to disallow goals due to the fabric of a striker's shirt being ahead of the defender - but while the law is being enforced in its current guise, Sunday's decision was correct.

Well this is irrelevant what ppl are saying because Chicharito's "head was offside" yesterday looooooool.

Why the fuck does he have a nickname on the back of his shirt?

I've often wondered how they get away with that. Didn't Bloose had one too - Choochoo or something? Maybe it should be all nicknames on the backs of shirts, but given the intelligence of most footballers, nicknames just consist of the surname with "Y" on the end so not much change there then.
