I only looked at it once or twice but didnt anyone else think that the guy who headed the freekick back accross the goal was offside????

The guy that headed the free kick back was Wes Brown. It fell straight to Flitcroft to score.

Spot on; these decisions even themselves out over a season. It was a mis-hit but fair play to Blackburn - the harder you work, the luckier you get.

Even if it was offside, they deserved the luck

Yes, the guy who headed the ball back had moved offside (beyond Ole)before the free kick was taken...amazed that Sky didn't even pick it up as a discussion point.

RVN was also two yards onside when Ole played him in 5 minutes into the second half.

Still, I suspect we've had a few breaks lately. No crisis this time.
