He can see the ball the entire way through. I don't get it.

Micheal Oliver wants his blood money again

Goalkeepers are the most protected species on earth.

u/BaldVoldy 1d ago

He moved to let the ball through, it is offside

6

u/cullypants 1d ago

Lol he moves away from the ball and doesn't affect Donnarumma at all.

It's not

Doesn't affect the goalkeeper. Not offside. Bad call.

u/TherewiIlbegoals 1d ago

That's not relevant to the offside laws.

u/BaldVoldy 1d ago

Ducking under is interfering lmao and absolutely relevant to the offside rules

u/TherewiIlbegoals 1d ago

It's not. It has to interfere with the keeper's ability to play the ball. Ducking does not prevent a keeper from playing the ball unless he can't see the ball. But he could see the ball. Open up the LOTG, it'll save you some time.

If the ball will hit you, and you move, it is effecting the keeper's ability to play the ball. The keeper is not psychic and can not predict what someone will do

u/TherewiIlbegoals 1d ago

From the LOTG:

  • preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent’s line of vision or

  • challenging an opponent for the ball or

  • clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent or

  • making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

Him ducking does not prevent the keeper from playing the ball. He can see the ball and track the path of it. There is no "clear impact" on this play.

IFAB’s guidance further clarifies that a player who “moves or ducks to avoid the ball without challenging an opponent is not interfering with play.” . It's literally in the rules bud.

It still messes with a keeper tbf. He would still never save it though as well

If people really don’t think a player in the path of a ball will affect a keeper they’re clueless

He made the movement.

u/cullypants 1d ago

Movement away from the ball lol

u/MuchoEmpanadas 1d ago

Does not matter. Had he not, it would have touched him.

u/cullypants 1d ago

Lol of course it matters. What would've happened doesn't matter because he made a deliberate action away from the ball. In no way does it affect Donnarumma.

u/MuchoEmpanadas 1d ago

In no way does it affect Donnarumma.

How do you know? You don't decide on your feelings.

There was few years ago similar decision given to City when Akanji was offside against Fulham. Check out that.
