IFAB advice from 2015(?)I see the main thread has been locked.
Pity - this might be relevant! Especially where the "goalkeeper needs to delay his action to wait and see if the attacking player in an offside position touches/plays the ball"...
The iIlustrations are all within the PA but that phrase obviously applies to Ederson on Saturday, and the illustrations for not attempting to play the ball all show players deliberately trying to avoid the ball...
Circular 3. It was then moved into law in the following iteration 2016-17.IFAB advice from 2015(?)
Do threads have limits??Did the other thread reach its limit of 10 pages?
There was a bit of sarcasm in my postDo threads have limits??
Didn't know that.
Ah, not quite with it today.. never normally see threads go that high so yes, I was gullible.There was a bit of sarcasm in my post
And has anything changed in how a GK might be impacted, or in the way a player can show they are not interfering?IFAB advice from 2015(?)
Well, PGMOL doing its own thing would be nothing new.IIRC Uefa had been instructing those scenarios Blovee posted were offside but the PGMO were saying there was no interference with the goalkeeper at the time.

At least I've found that old circular to go round in circles about!More to do with the fact we were going around in circles, with tempers seeming to fray so it was stopped before it escalated.
Nothing sinister about it.
Not quite sure what you're referring to there. There's nothing in IFAB Circular 3 about a goalkeeper needing to delay his action ... etc.Circular 3. It was then moved into law in the following iteration 2016-17.
Now does that mean this document is still valid for interpreting how an opponent including GK might be impacted (i.e. does not need to be physically impacted) and for how a player in an offside position should avoid being penalised for interfering with an opponent?Not quite sure what you're referring to there. There's nothing in IFAB Circular 3 about "a goalkeeper delaying his action ...."
Nor was there anything to that effect in the laws in 2016/17.

This is so misleading though because the ball is moving at speed towards the goalscorer and away from the defender so whilst the defender looks the closest on the still image, there is no gurantee the defender would of still made it to the ball first if Rashford was not there.Saw an image on social media where they've removed Rashford from the stills and shows how close the defender actually was compared to Fernandes.
Thing is, the defender closest to Rashford slows down. Stupid yes, play to whistle etc, but if Rashford wasn't there I imagine he would've got there first and/or shielded it for Ederson who we know is a sweeper keeper and likely to come out and clear himself. But because Rashford was closer to the ball, Ederson stayed around the penalty spot anticipating Rashford to do something.
Maybe the defender also had it in his head that if he does challenge Rashford (whether known he was off or not) and it goes wrong it is a sending off and doesn't get tangled up.
No one knows what's going through players minds and why they do things or not, but personally, despite me saying good goal as per law, I do think Rashfords positioning and role in the goal does affect how both the defender and Ederson play this out.View attachment 6313View attachment 6314
