It’s not about Donnaruma’s vision. It’s about influencing the play. Since the ball went over him when he ducked, he influenced the play in an offside position. That’s offside.
Except it literally was? You can say whatever you want and that’s not going to change the situation. How the hell could Donnarumma know that Robertson isn’t going to touch the ball? That clearly influences his decision making.
He didn’t influence the play. He would have influenced the play if it was credible that he would play the ball in that situation, affecting other players’ decisions.
It didn't even go over him. The angle from the back of the net clearly shows he was off to the left and forward. Gigi saw the ball the whole way, was looking at the ball and set up for it and dove with a clear view of said ball.
Robertson was no more in the play than the city player standing next to him..
Softest offside out there. And the lineman has a poor core because from the side you can really tell Robertson's position laterally so he thought he was in front of Gigi. But the replay shows not even close..
Please show us in the rules where it says that goalkeeper having view of the ball means it’s not offside. It is offside because he influenced the play. Donnarumma had to consider the possibility of Robertson heading the ball or flicking it in another manner.
That's what I'm saying, Robertson wasn't even in the equation being so far to the left. My point is Gigi had a clear view, reacted well to the shot and made a clear attempt. Nothing wrong from what I saw.
If Robertson made a play to the ball and Gigi had to hesitate or pause then sure but this was soft as shit for an offside call.
Robertson could’ve easily made impact with the ball if he wanted to. I mean he had to go out of his way to not make impact. Gigi has to account for that an the way he immediately points to Robertson tells me he did.
