What's the rule? (13 Viewers)

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I would like to see it again but I guess the ref was miles from the position he needed to be in for the breakaway so blew his whistle, the situation with disallowing the goal was a shambles it was obviously offside but I think the Lino that side had a bad arm as he was unable to lift his flag all night.

That’s the main menu page. Where specifically? It’s not in the laws of the game on free kicks.

Why was the goal even disallowed he was miles on side?

It's funny because the same handful of people moan about the ref EVERY single week on here. When I saw the thread title I wondered what it could possibly be about and the result was even funnier. If that had been the other way around and Leeds had been allowed to take the quick free kick whilst we celebrated and they went up the other end and scored, the same people would be arguing the polar opposite argument.

The bit about quick free kick is in the glossary/terms section at the end

If you went on most teams sites they would be saying the same about the officials most are just terrible.

I heard Hackett talking about it yesterday saying the prem has only got two decent ones and they need to start importing them.

He was on the goal line when he tapped it in.

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

He was on the goal line when he tapped it in.

Yeah and when the initial ball was played he was at least a yard onside

 

[ccfcricoh]

no point delving into the rules when the goal should have stood anyway - not offside, lets just thank the ref for keeping at 2

No he wasn't which is why it was given offside. If he'd of left it to go in without touching it then yes a goal

it’s not even close he is miles onside

Yup -

Asking the person who runs that twitter feed to comment on referees is like asking Ronald McDonald to comment on a McDonalds.

He'll never say anything bad about them.

The guy who had the last touch was offside i think it was going in even if hadn't touched it.The thing that i find strange is neither offical was going to rule it out untill the ref. suddenly had second thoughts .Once again the linesperson in front of us was shocking more than once he missed offsides for both sides .IMO Leeds should have had a pen.a push like that anywhere else on the pitch is a foul rules should be no different in the box.

No mate the lad who scored was onside by at least a yard. Joseph is offside but he doesn’t make any attempt to touch it

19 is offside when the first shot was taken. He remained offside and would've affected the keepers judgement.

19 is offside when the shot is taken and is right where Dovin had to dive to save it.

Dovin saves it perfectly fine and pushes it past Joseph who doesn’t move. The goal was perfectly fine.

 

[Chicken Mcgraw]

In fact Dovin is ahead of Joseph himself and can’t even see him when making the save

yep, that is why it was given and why it took so long to disallow as they were trying to decide if he was "in play"

But then it also says unless the ref is distracted it should be allowed.

He was clearly onside looking at the screenshot but that lino was shocking

Here's the slow-mo replay of their offside goal -

It’s an incredible coincidence that the team that suffers most from crap and biased refs also happens to be the one that I support

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

From where we sit in line with the goal line the ball appeared to be touched by Dovin and both Joseph and Bogle were then in an offside positions and Joseph could be said to be interfering with the keeper attempts to save it.
