Going by the lines his foot is ahead of the ball

What is the rule for when the ball is played backwards? Would you still need to be behind the ball? It comes forwards from the Sporting player because the header wasn’t going to Kane anyway.

Kane still needs to be behind the ball but no idea on it hitting the player if that changes it. Think the Spurs players just said this, is it a new phase?

For offside it doesn't matter where the ball goes unless the defender intentionally plays it. Attacker must be behind the ball.

Thank you, I hadn’t realised it had to be intentional.

So if Spurs lose, Sporting and Frankfurt draw it ends up three teams on 8 points.

H2H is normally the decider first but is it with 3 team? I think Sporting hold the best H2H

 

[scarps]

See Atletico had a penalty awarded after full time and missed it, meaning they are out.

Which doesn’t make sense either because when would a player ever intentionally pass it to the opposition who’s standing free in an offside position infront of goal?

When they are Harry Maguire. Do I get a prize?

Where is Baz. He normally comes in after actually reading the rules and tells us the decision was stupid but correct. @BaZ87?

What we can say is that the EL is going to be really spicy this year. A lot of good teams are dropping into the EL. Winning the EL will actually be quite the achievement this year now.

It doesn't have to be an intentional pass, it has to be an intentional attempt to play the ball. So if the defender had tried to clear it and mishit it then it wouldn't be offside.

Are they not in the EL because by definition there are not a "good team".

I was going to add that supposition at the end but I thought better of it.

Whatever the truth, the likes of Barca, Atletico, Juventus, Tottenham (fingers crossed) will make it more interesting.

I can drink to that.

PSV fans smashed up our stadium. Tossers

 

[CliffyG]

Quite a few rested today but still a decent side out. Nice to see Saka on the bench for a change.

At least they went abroad to wreck someone's stadium rather than the English doing it to their own

 

[robfosters]

Got away with it there. 2 disallowed goals in firs half lol

Sorry, I was watching the Liverpool game on my tablet in Toddington services, I've not seen the Spurs game I'm afraid

It’s ok, we’ve cleared it all up. Right decision. No one knows the rules.

 

[robfosters]

PSV have done a good job on us tonight. I never fancied this game much tbh.

Luckily, the last game next week is the easiest of the lot.
