A deliberate play on the ball means he's no longer offside. He was offside the moment the ball was played forward. The flag should have gone up before Mings played the ball.

Copied from other thread

Absolutely and it would have done pre VAR....ex ref made some kind of bizarre justification of the decision, "player not deemed to have gained an advantage" Mings chested the ball into his path ffs...dreadful defending though it must be said. Another unforced error from Mings costing us a goal, nearly got an o.g. a few minutes before.

Rode our luck plenty of times during the game but a sickener to lose to that goal in the end. We had nothing left in the tank to get an equaliser, subs made no impact. Hard to be too critical today as some players like Barkley were unsurprisingly miles of the pace. Our right side defensively continues to be a problem, the reverse of last season. Cash needs to be a bit braver I think in going to the player quicker. Backing up into his box far too often and very little support from Traore. Was the wrong call from Smith to select Traore tonight, he didn't look up for it from the first minute.

Martinez 8, Cash 4, Konsa 7, Mings 6, Targett 8, Luiz 6, McGinn 5, Traore 4, Barks 4, Jack 7, Watkins 6. Subs Ramsey 5, AEG 5, Taylor 5

Farcical. You can tell we're becoming a decent side again, because officials are having to scrabble for decisions to give to the old order when they find themselves in a spot of bother.

Villa were great. Even better given the context.

That game was lost with the award of a corrupt 1st goal.
The ref, var and the biased broadcasters have got what they want.
There seriously needs to be an investigation into the use of var for the benefit of the so-called sky 6 at the behest of tv.
I'm glad Smith called it out for what it is.
Well done Villa boys on a dogged display, which clearly had monopoly city worried. Great performance again by Targett before being subbed.
UTFV!

Would love to know what Smith actually said. We could get t-shirts made up.

They are too fcuking busy pissing about with set squares ruling out goals where the strikers arm is furthest forward then completely miss an obvious one like that.  The games gone.

Very entertaining game to watch and thought we played well, all things considered. So refreshing to see a Villa side try and take the game to these so called ‘big six’ sides rather than try and park the bus.

He certainly didn't hold back, even after the first yellow!

Fantastic effort given all the problems we've had over the last two weeks.  City did enough to win it, but just when we think the standard of officials can't get any worse, they pull it out the bag.  DS reckons he was sent off for asking the 4th official if he'd had juggling balls for Christmas.....

Let’s face it if we keep building this team right we’ll launch an assault on the top teams. They fear us have no doubt.

Right side of defence a problem? What games do you watch. Cash was superb, as was Targett.

Apparently he said "you fcuking prick" to Moss. Not sure if it is was before or after the sending off.

It's quite obviously bent.
This is the major concern, it’s happening too often since they formed their little Cabal.

It's cheating.  Coming from an offside position and seeking to gain an advantage.  OFFSIDE. No ifs or buts, OFFSIDE.  But no, not for a club that is allowed to spend what it wants without any sanction.  VAR people scared to piss the money men off.  I wish we could take a stand of some sort.  Starts signing petitions to get VAR fucked off.

Ha ha I suspect it was a bit more than that!
