should Ole goal have stood?

[RUnited]

It's clearly another offside debate.

The football focus team on ESPN agreed it should have stayed because of the nature of the close call.

i thought it was clearly offside and the linesman made a great decision to raise his flag.

i didn't mind not having gotten that one as we looked very much like take the game from the start.

any opinions?

 

[JSV]

None

It was offside, nuff said.

 

[One Remi Moses]

Close, but was offside.

But I was more confident after the finish.

Knew that we would score.

 

[blythy]

He was just offside.

 

[MauritianRed]

It wasn't really a close call. He was at least half a yard offside.

 

[RUnited]

quote from one of the football focus panelists:

"the goal should have stood.. the rules should be changed to state 'offside should only be called when it's clearly offside, and not as close as this'"

i thought that was the most ludicrous thing i've ever heard any one said on TV!

well.. except for Sepp Blatter and his crazy ideas of coz.

 

[osterdal]

Not much to discuss really. I thought the goal should've stood but who cares?

However, I do think we're bound to see a few close calls go our way in the near future.

Does it really matter?? - We won FFS!! - Get celebrating... we can return to stuff like this tomorrow!!

that's what i thought! they've been having decisions going their ways lately. can't complain much tho, we've had that luxury for years and years.

 

[Neil Thomson]

I thought he was clearly level, and certainly not ahead and in that case benefit of the doubt goes to the striker. But in a way it was good that it wasn't allowed as it might have geed them up too early, as it was they didn't have enough time to fight back completely.

 

[Gazza]

close call at unfilled, who's gonna get the decision?

 

[zXe]

In a way i'm glad it didn't stand. Would have just given the bitters an excuse to whine and moan about us winning it cause of a ref's decision.

Beat you fair and fecking square..

Jerzy Dudek is a red, he hates scousers! \o/
