They reckon their view, and yours, is the best in the ground and you can see everything unless it is something good by Bruno:smile:

In my youth if people complained of depression or stress they were told to man up and get over it. It is only in the last 20 years or so that people began to realise that it was actually an illness. Any way I would like to leave this subject now as nothing can be gained from carrying...

Have you ever considered learning to read? As I pointed out it was nothing whatsoever against Martin LING the citicism by saying it was a bad appointment was against the board of Swindon Town FC appointing him with his history to a position that naturally brought about stress. They should...

The offside rule has changed many times over the years and may I add not to benefit supporters. It is now so confusing, as this debate shows, and IMHO they would do better to revert to the original rule which said there had to be 2 defenders between the attacker and the goal when the player...

Unless the ref deemed that the last player to play the ball was adefender which may not be apparent to the lino.. In this case he may have said the keeper didnt touch it in which case it would be a case of the attacker gaining an unfair advantage as per rule 11 (i)

But the ref has the final say because can over rule him if he thinks he was wrong and he saw something to put the player on side. Incidentally it is not instructions from his assistant but advice and guidance which he can accept or reject.

Everest your interpretration of this rule differs from mine and may I add that of the experts the ref and the linesman or assistant as he is now known. By reading this rule excluding your influencing highlights I would say the ref was correct in his decision, about the only one he made correctly.

He was in an offside position when the shot was taken had the ball not hit the bar and gone in no problem but as soon as he played it he was offside.

Just watched it on sky he was most definitely offside no question. When he put the ball in the net he was goalside of the keeper so just the one defender out wide between him and the goal.

From the still photograph posted by Bozza I would say he looks to be offside, which I thought at the time, but if anybody has a video of it we may get a better view. It was a 50/50 decision and could have one either way.
