"Barely offside" or "oooh only just offside" is the same as being 25 yards offside. It's still offside.

Meh, barely if at all, you're talking literal inches. Can hardly say they were robbed.

 

Doesn't matter does it? Offside is offside.

 

Swings and roundabouts I agree but if you're trying to justify offside i'll remind you off this if/when we get an offside goal scored against us

I'm just making the point that it was as close as you're going to get and the linesman is hard pressed to make that call.

 

I just don't get the point in saying 'it's offside though'. Should we replay the game maybe?

 

If that goal was scored against us I'd have no problem whatsoever with it, I'd feel slightly unlucky that a 50/50 call didn't go in our favour, that would be about it.

Is there any more news on this? Looked on the Blades website and there's nothing about a postponement.

 

Would piss Lamby right off if the Hillsborough game got called off and just down the road a Sheff Utd game stays on :lol:.

 

PLEASE STAY ON.

Actually, it isn't. The benefit of the doubt belongs with the attacking team. If there's reasonable doubt, play should continue.

Anyway, his arm was offside and you can't play the ball with your arm. It isn't clear cut using slow motion and freeze frames, it definitely can't be clear cut in real time.

Perfectly legit goal and a really good one.

If he's offside he's offside. The distance doesn't matter. 

 

In reality yeah it does because 0.01m offside is impossible to call so it won't be called offside (like just then) but in terms of the rule he is still offside.

I don't think anybody is arguing that (although I don't think you can claim it with 100% certainty, you'd need to look at a lot higher frame rate replay if you wanted to know for sure). Like Finners says, benefit of the doubt was rightly given to the attacker. He's onside, the goal stood.

Ridiculous kit choice here. Swansea change from all white to blue to play Everton. Who wear blue.

Purple/Yellow isn't it?

 

Granted purple is closer to blue than white.

Dunno, but Swansea's purpley/blue and yellow looks very similar to the royal blue and white of Everton when they go in and out of the shaded parts of the pitch. 

 

My TV is shit though.

This would look great if Everton wore their away kit, which is pretty much the same as the Swansea one but with the colours switched.

I make it 3 "great feet for a big man" so far for Traore. Just 12 minutes in. 

 

I'll go for a total of 12 by the time the programme goes off air, with at least 4 coming from Chiles.
