Rob k Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 How has the linesman given that decision? From where the ball was kicked how could the linesman also see if brooker was offside for definite at the time the ball was played? And also what is the offside rule? I thought any part of the defending players body could play you onside and brooker was half a shoulder in front of the player with no daylight between them.

MightyRed Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Sorry, was close, and I'm sure I, like many other city fans were hoping to tune in to the championship and see a glaring mistake, but it looks like the linesman has *just* got it right. Edit: Rule says any part you can score a goal with. As Dele showed - a shoulder is perfectly good for that! Having seen it again, no complaints for the penalty either. Other than why did Marv dive in when he was going away from goal? Was a shame they didn't have the City fans on mic - all you heard was silence when Dele scored.

I can't remember who took the free-kick for us, but from watching 'The Championship' highlights, they froze the frame when his leg was drawn back, not at the point of impact. If that's true then Brooker could easily have moved back into an onside position before the ball was struck. Does anyone else agree? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Just seen it. Some are given, some are not. It looks very tight and usually the benefit is given to the striker but to blame the ref or linesman on this defeat would be wrong IMO. We just didn't play well enough to win (according to match reports etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zidereddy Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 it was level never offside should of been a goal think lino bottled it big time that cost us the match. also there pen looked more like a dive hardly any contact. other this was it just me or did adebolas goal come off his shoulder best shoulder goal i ever seen if it did!!

He didn't bottle it. Brooker was coming back from an offside position and it was very tight. I can easily see how he made the decision he did. it was hardly clear cut was it? Looked like a penalty for me. No complaints from Marvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

headhunter Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 Unfortunately I think it was the right if an extremely marginal decision. For their first I take it Vasko not Adebola was tasked with picking up the big centre half [Adebola headed the ball across goal for it to go off Fallon's backside when he was back defending last week].

If you think he bottled it then fair enough but I think most people will see its tight enough for him to be given the benefit of the doubt whichever way the decision went.

It could be. And that just shows how tight things are. Sometimes you get it, sometimes not. We have to concentrate on improving our goal scoring and not worrying about refs.

madmax Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I take it the "there must be daylight between the attaker and defender" no longer exists? Brooker was simply further advanced by around three inches....thats it. MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it's a decision that stops you from going up, deservedly so.... because it was offside! Thank **** he had a bald head though, was easy to pick out. As for the Penalty, no complaints from your players. Elliott launched in when he didn't need and McPhail left him for dead. Brooker looked more of a threat than trundle did mind. He was ****** abysmal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brooker looked like he was coming back from an offside position but when the free-kick was taken, he was level. The linesman's obviously got twitchty to the inbred's sharpening their leeks behind him and put his flag up. The only plus from this incident is that is was a great header from Brooks and that shows why he has to start for me as he's the only striker in form at the moment.
