Matty Taylor was not offside - our early chance

Recommended Posts

Just watched back the highlights on BCTV and as I thought at the time (I was in line) the Matty Taylor chance (PAcks long pass over the top, Matty was clear on goal with the keeper retreating) early in the first half at 0-0 was on side. He was level with the defender when the ball was played.

I know its "what ifs", but I suspect with Wigans away form this season, it would have been a different result if we had got the desicion..

We've had quite a few very tight calls of this nature home and away this season- especially since the turn of the year.

Think the Weimann disallowed goals during the unbeaten run- vs Derby, Nottingham Forest away and at home to Swansea. Plus Pisano's v QPR.

Now this.

Just luck or something for the striking coaches to work on?

Looked like his head was ahead of play - I tried to pause it at the exact moment Pack played the ball - was tight but I think the lino got it right

So you could say he was a head of play?

With some of those decisions you mentioned there's no way the linesman could have been certain the player was offside, so must have guessed.

The rule states (or used to) about benefit of doubt towards the attacking side- so either that hasn't been getting given or that's no longer the case.

I’m sorry but the rule states ‘ benefit of doubt towards the attacking team unless the attacking team is Bristol City ‘

Let's split the difference and say it was 3 wrongly disallowed. I make it one minimum Weimann, not yet found the others. I think we have not been the luckiest in front of goal this season though- woodwork + disallowed rolling total is quite a few now.

Aren't we the team that has hit the woodwork the most this season?

Been over a month since I've seen it said, so maybe someone's caught us up.

Probably right up there if not the most.

I'll look it up sometime but I believe that and the 5 questionable offside decisions might partially explain some of the discontent and feelings of us being terribly dull this season. Think we have hbit woodwork 16 or 17 separate occasions in the League this season though so we'd be near the top if not the top!

That is incredibly tight! 

Looked at it several times and still unsure...thinking Taylor has strayed marginally offside but it's very tricky.

He’s leaning off, Lino is bang in line. Good call

At the time I thought the goal keeper seemed to stop as soon as the ref blew his whistle. If there had been no whistle I’m sure he would have reached the ball before Taylor

It was tight, which the group sat by us all thought.  From the corner of the LS by the SS we were not very well placed, but sometimes you can tell by the players reactions it was close.  Just offside judging by that though.

He is just off imo so a good call, a couple of inches on and could still have been called off though. It is so quick 'live' and some of them you cannot really blame the lino.

Absolutely right (although it wasn't a winner, it felt like we lost it!).  It should have been a free kick to us in our box and at least a yellow card for their forward.  Pretty sure we would have seen the game out from that.

Tight , but also you have to take into account the Linesman's , sorry , assistant incompetent's angle . From the pic I would guess all he could see is Matt Taylor.  Now if you had mentioned the forearm smash , that would be different. TBF I guess the Ref's angle isn't the best either.

We should have won regardless..

Stop searching for excuses.

Wigan did a bit of a job on us but regardless once we had turned it round and done the hard part on the day- yeah 2 points dropped.

Unsure about the legitimacy of their equaliser though!

It was poor game management in the end. LJ made the right attacking substitutions and we overhauled a one goal deficit as a direct result of his decisions. However, not for the first time this season we were not savvy when it came to closing the game out. Wigan had been threatening to score again and we failed to react appropriately to the warning signs. When the board went up for 5 minutes added time I feared the worst and was frustrated but not in the least surprised when the inevitable happened. City were still playing like they were looking for the third goal. The head coach can do very little in those circumstances. It’s up to the players on the pitch and the more experienced, senior pro’s should have taken charge and shut up shop. We were too open and paid the price.

Thought we needed that third in all honesty..

I remember when Wright should have made it 3-1 when we had all the momentum, crowd was up- getting pretty worried that it would come back on us.

Because of the necessary attacking changes, it left us fairly thin at the back- in what had already been a pretty open game.

Maybe if we had sat back deeper at 2-1...but then still likely they would have created danger in that scenario too.

Very close call, that Taylor offside decision. Presumably the lino’s view of the last defender was blocked by Diedhiou and/or Taylor. 

It also looks like we were unlucky with the forearm smash for their equaliser. 

Having said that, we always looked vulnerable, especially when they whipped crosses over, so frustrating as it was that late goal was no surprise. Sometimes we just don’t seem to be able to clear our lines.

It's a problem at home isn't it. Wigan did a job on us, Ipswich did a job , Birmingham did a good job. I don't know the answer, oh to be like Norwich and dominate games at home.  We have been awesome away , at home we are about 18th , while away 5th. Mid table home form and we'd be nailed on playoffs, we just can't seem to find the formula that works home AND away.

It's funny really.

In general under LJ we have been better at home over a season- sometimes by a decent margin at that!

More reactive tactics maybe, more counterattack minded.

Whatever the reason, the trend has sharply reversed this season!

There is nothing in the laws of the game re benefit of the doubt, and to my knowledge there never has been.

Your either on or off, the linesman gives an honest decision, 99% of which are right, they do get them wrong, but they are only human!

Correct - it's the second time if you want to be really pedantic.

Saturday was only the second time all season that we have conceded in the last 15 minutes of a game,  which I would say proves  that we have been very savvy at closing games out this season.

Fantastic positioning by lino and he got it right I think.

Agree Alex. 

In situations like this unless the lino is cross eyed, the problem is how he can see across the line at the exact moment Pack plays the ball. Looking at one or the other a split second adrift can make the difference between putting his flag up or not,

I take it for granted this season that any marginal decisions will tend not to go in our favour e.g. Kalas getting a forearm smash in the build up to the equaliser - you just know if the roles had been reversed with us getting a winning goal it would have been spotted and penalised.

If they did score a winner, then it must have been disallowed..!

No it's correct and only been given 1 pen and that was QPR at home.
