The "offside" for the Norwich goal


The linesman on that side was absolutely crap. I am not sure about the offside mind having had a look at it again, my son who was sat next to me is convinced that the player who was clearly offside has made a movement towards the ball so the decision for off side should have been given, but I am not convinced. It will be interesting to hear was Dermot Gallagher thinks in his analysis on sky.
 
If a player is going to the ball to me he is interfering with play therefore offside the only person who should have been sent off today was the linesman
 
People have no idea if he was going to flag or not tbf. One thing's for certain the linesman has been pulled from pillar to post about that goal. Posters were certain other decisions he gave were shite too. Just goes to show how difficult a job is. I find it all quite amusing tbh. The know it alls will all go quiet now
Actually I do. The lino was up with play and the Norwich bloke runs towards the ball and you can see the position the lino takes up. He stands in a squat position two hands on the flag and begins to raise it. Their player beats ekwah to the ball and suddenly the lino turns side on and runs the line. I have zero clue what the actual correct decision is but the lino was 100% going to flag their lad for offside
 
Put the linesman aside ekwah should have been stronger.
If it was safc we would be saying class but it wasn't so it's a shite decision.
The problem is the team stopped for offside n it didn't happen so all round balls up
 
Don't hesitate play to the whistle that's what you get taught as a bairn

Exactly this. Remember Patto also didn’t play to the whistle last week at Stoke for their 1st goal. Need to put that topic on the agenda for the next team meeting.

It's been shown that he was probably onside.
 
It's so so bad from Ekwah mind :lol: he's such a good player but his brain goes to mush at times when he needs to switch on defensively. Spraying and pinging passes about like nobody's business, probably won more tackles than anyone else on the pitch and yet he still has a moment like that far too ften.
 
I was fuming with Ekwah. So preventable. Rather than standing watching just play to the whistle. Just put the ball in row Z then have the complaint.

Luckily for him it hasn't cost us anything today.
