Belgium goal. Clearly offside.
Don't care if the defender played it. When the original ball was played, which the defender had to deal with, the scorer was well offside. How can that be treated as okay? |  | | |  |

Apparently because the defender touched it it’s onside.
No, I don’t understand it either - if Lukaku wasn’t there then he wouldn’t have been in the position to pick it up and score. | |

I wasn't sure about that one either but the think the explanation makes sense. I'm just not sure if you can class the Russian touch as a deliberate action but would need to see it again. |  | | |

Its just wrong.
He is offside when the forward pass is played and plainly active and interfering, because the defender must deal with it to prevent it reaching him. | | | |

Making a deliberate attempt to play the ball makes Lukaku active in that situation. |  |

Its nonsense. He is offside when the ball is played by his team mate. And scored because of it. | | | |

Well then the defender should have put his foot through it or taken it down and cleared it rather than shanking it off his thigh like a div. | |

He made a mistake. Which he may well not have made, were there not a sttriker lurking behind him.
Offside in an interfering position when the ball was played. Such a simple rule. Unecessarily complicated now, to the detriment of the game. | | | |

Not convinced it does. not clearly anyway. Show me the rule.
Either way, the rulebook is ridiculous. | | | |

Peter Walton a former ref who is employed by BT during the regular season so keeps up to date with the rules confirmed it.
We've seen the same in the Prem over the last season. I would agree it's not the most sensible of rules. | |

He just stood there, he didn’t get involved until the defender spooned it straight to him. | |

There are no rules. Football is governed by laws.  | | | |

It’s a stupid rule though. The pass was clearly intended for Lukaku who was offside, and has in effect only become onside due to the pass being sh*t. Ridiculous |  |

Have to agree with this.
What happened to interfering with play?
If the ball has been played in your direction on your presence alone... |  |

Think of it much like say the issue of returning Indian holiday makers, or Northern Irish importers of sausages.
VAR was applying the rules. The rules might be stupid but rather than targeting the VAR guy, I'd look to whatever moron made the rules in the first place :-) |  |

What's even crazier, is if the defender was facing the other way towards Lukaku and the ball merely deflected off his backside, then Lukaku would have been offside, because there was not a deliberate attempt to play the ball on the part of the defender... |  |

Well for me its got to be offside . When the ball is played forward Lukaku is off simple as . If the ball forward had reached the goalkeeper who palmed it back out and Lukaku had scored that way it would have been chalked off , why is that different ? The problem is if it is clear offside the Lino should flag none of this waiting to see what developes rubbish . The offside rule should be as simple as possible so the average fan can understand it . At the moment the experts dont understand it and are arguing amongst themselves what is right and what is wrong ! |  | | |
