Since Kane didn't touch it was he still offside? I imagine that if he headed it the flag would go up. Otherwise the foul is before? I don't know this for sure.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I haven't argued against that. I argued against saying the ref can't do anything unless the assistant raises his flag.
This ref 
I still can't decide if that pen was soft.
Think the ref made the right call, but by a small margin.

How many fouls can a Xhaka make before a Xhaka can get booked?
Yeah incorrect and a foul
So what suits us more?
A draw or a spurs win ?
(And I wonder who is more likely to have a bad finish of the season amongst those two)...

It has it uses for sure but I'm kind of waning on it myself as well these days. It looked good at the WC but I fear that was a small sample and maybe we got ahead of ourselves. It will be a work in progress for sure seeing how you'll still have humans in charge.
yeah, same happened with City at Shalke, it seems a stupid law to me
It was offside in either case. He was affecting the play (Mustafi).
Which would make sense, but the rule says opposite. The VAR decided it was a pen in city-schalke based on that.
The ref made the right call, it's the lino who fecked it up
Rose going batshitcrazy
We want them both close. A win for someone will give them confidence to kick on. Draw is perfect, both wont be happy with it
Xgaka.. Same mould of idiocy
These players get me so vex I swear
Rose and Trippier have both been feckin terrible today.
How the feck has Xhaka escaped a yellow? 3-4 times he should have been booked.
it isn't
Agreed
This is terrible football at the moment.
He’s got one
No it doesn't.
The rule is
- an offence is committed against a player in an offside position who is already playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the offside offence is penalised as it has occurred before the foul challenge
Xhaka is pulling a Kante today, cannot get booked.
He doesn't need to touch it. As long as he is participating in the play, he is offside
You're probably right.
Derby game. Can happen
He has a magic spell on
All we need is for the result to remain the same or spurs to win!
But the guy in that situation was nowhere near the ball and hadn't become active. Kane was closest to the ball and was going for the header, thus making him offside.
that's totally different to the BT ref on the City game, who is the BT ref out of interest?
Think it was definitely a foul. Defenders can get away with a little nudge in those situations but Mustafi timed it poorly and put too much into it.
That's exactly what I was thinking, Kane didn't have any influence on the ball at all. Mustafi just shoved him.
I think the offside law needs to be revisited, as since VAR came in etc everyone's getting confused over what is and isn't offside.
As for this one, I'm confused to whether it should be or shouldn't be. Could be argued Kane affected play but could be argued he didn't so it's a hard decision
I would say a draw, really any result if OK. Spurs win, it hurts Arsenal, Arsenal win it brings Spurs back to the pack. A draw, both drop points.

Rose now having to play in central midfield because we have no midfielders. What a joke.
Peter Walton.
Where's Winks?
It seems soft because it's not given often.
Don't be a pedant. I know he can give offside but not from the position he was in. He has to go with the assistant there as he's directly behind play.
