Can anyone explain why thats offside when Beto intentionally plays the ball? (n/ on 17:00 - Sep 17 with 1924 views | LankHenners | Well he doesn't intentionally play it though really, just sticks a leg out to block the pass and it rebounds all the way through to Nketiah. Neville is so stupid going on about the lines and angles, just a total misunderstanding about how they work from someone who should (and given he's the co-comm, needs to) know better. | ![](/images/avatars/11465.gif) |

He makes an intentional movement towards the ball while Gabriel passes it backwards. There's no way that should be given as offside, it's mad. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

That doesn't mean he played it intentionally.

It was marginal but the ball goes slightly forward not sideways. Correct decision for me given the current interpretation of the law, not that I necessarily agree with that interpretation! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Fair enough, I guess the instinctive stretching aspect covers this scenario, thanks! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

If he isn't intentionally trying to play the ball he shouldn't stick his leg out. the officials all collectively got this wrong. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads

No, because by the rules (whether you think they're good or not) sticking your leg out to block a pass in that manner doesn't count as 'intentionally playing the ball'. | ![](/images/avatars/11465.gif) |

“It was not a case of instinctive stretching, jumping, or a limited movement that achieved limited contact/control”. So completely clear. He didn’t ’deliberately play’ the ball, he just kicked it. It’s completely different I look forward to them not crediting goals to players who’ve stuck out a leg/head instinctively. I wonder what Brian Clough would make of today’s rubbish. | ![](/images/avatars/1909.gif) |

Weirdly, I’m not sure you have to pass the ball forward for a player to be offside. Think I remember an odd one before with a short corner catching someone and it being controversial in that regard. | ![](/images/avatars/2233.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

The answer is "because they broke and over complicated the offside rule (unecessarily) to appease bad pundits who didn't understand it and who couldn't grasp the essential role of a referee exercising judgment" See also "handball". | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yes its the Laws that are wrong it's nonsense not to call that deliberate. A team penalised for a ball going absolutely nowhere near where it was being played. Football has become such nonsense now. [Post edited 18 Sep 2023 9:22]

That specific scenario is a bit odd (and rare) but the rules are there to stop goalhanging essentially. Otherwise you're saying you'd be happy to see someone stick out a leg to block a shot or cross, have the ball bounce through to someone in the 6 yard box way beyond the line of defence and score, which would seem very unfair to me. | ![](/images/avatars/11465.gif) |

No not advocating goalhanging but you get my point for that scenario a team should not be penalised as they still had work to do to get the goal. Everton are stealing a living in the EPL I am glad the right result at the end. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

Yeah I agree it's a bit strange and seems harsh considering the circumstances but to rule out more obvious things like goal hanging it'll throw up something like this once in a while where the same rules apply. | ![](/images/avatars/11465.gif) |
