Joe O'Brien's disallowed goal


Tom S

Recommended Posts

Not my greatest ever picture - not quite in focus and not quite horizontal but it is clear that

 

1. the linesman is in a dreadful position, but the six yard line should have given him a pretty strong clue

 

and

 

2. Joe's front foot is visible right on the edge of the frame and he is clearly behind Neil Johnston as the ball is ]crossed.

 

A goal at that moment would have made things much simpler.

I think the flag went up on the pass to Neil.

Yes, Joe was offside when the ball was played to Neil so if Neil had scored it would have stood.

Bring back the days when offside was offside instead of now where its not offside if there is an R in the month and a strong head wind.

MBrunob "Yes, Joe was offside when the ball was played to Neil so if Neil had scored it would have stood" That is my interpretation of what happened. But I dont think the ball would have gone in without Joe's intervention. In any event the pass forward did come off a defender.

 

Hey Andy - still keeping to ref habits and not keeping up with play.

The pass forward coming off a defender has nothing to do with it anymore as it's when the ball is played.
