Watfords first goal not offside

Recommended Posts

Posted

i know loads of us thought Watfords first goal was miles offside but just paused and rewind several time on goal express and i don't think it is, bad defending though!!

Also does anyone know why FLS is not on catch up yet ? (Which Forest are calling the Leicester show.....jealous?)

 

Used to be there every sunday morning...

That's offside albeit just IMO

I'm not sure it's even bad defending, it's just great centre forward play by Forestieri.

Given the speed at which it happened and with the striker's forward momentum nobody could realistically have tracked him

You need to draw the line across their heads

Yeah might be the timing in which youve paused it but for me that's slightly offside. We were due some luck going against us anyway.

The ball's already been kicked in that still. He was onside.

looked like the linesman was in line from goals express video, if anyones got sky on demand check it out, i cant be arsed to take another photo and upload it, kids are watching Victorious now anyway..........

i sit dead level with the move, he WAS offside , and yes the linesman was behind the play so could not possibly make the correct decision,

What?!

There's a still in the other thread showing the linesman to be in the perfect position. The still above shows he was onside.

I sit in a not dissimilar position and thought it looked offside at the time as it all happened so fast. But let's be fair - that is an absolutely brilliant call from the Lino.

thought it was the feet?

I believe it's any part of the body and his head looks furthest forward - maybe?

At the end of the day, the goal was given. Aggrieved as we were talking about it now won't change the decision.

At the time I thought it was blatently offside, looking at replays I don't think it was.

 

Shows the hard job they have, and the bias towards you're own team I guess, you're always going to swing in favour of your own team, having seen the replay my decision original decision would have been wrong I think.

 

That said the lino on the west stand side was awful, could not keep up with play if his life depended on it.

Any part of his body he could score with so yes head in front would be offside. Arms and hands no. It's just a extremely tight decision that's gone against us.

Last week we had a goal given that at the time, that split second there was discussion whether it crossed the line or not, was it? wasn't it?

 

Replays show it did cross the line, it was the correct decision but another referee on another day wouldn't have gave it. I'm not saying these type of situations are right, but on these fine decisions some go for you, some go against, swings and roundabouts.

 

I'd say the decision yesterday was correct, like with our goal last week. That just my opinion though.

It is any part of the body that you can score with i.e. not the hand or arm.

Correct. I thought it was a legitimate goal at the time despite me being nowhere near the action.

All this proves is that it was a lot tighter than some made out.

If we're being pedantic about that frozen frame the ball looks as if its already been played (fractionally) and Fabrini had already started his run at this point.

But judging on that frame you need to be looking at Was' right boot and Fabrinis head. Very tight but no complaints from me
