Opinions please....I have mine.
He put the ball in the net but was booked for it, whistle had gone so became time wasting.Iloveyoubrady wrote:Did Vokes score (offside). Sorry I don't know what went on as I didn't watch the match and it wasn't on any highlights

That's easy to answer.Claretnick wrote:I see the lino is well up with play. He is looking from behind the players so how could he make that decision?
Yes silly me I forgot about the unwritten Premier League rule book2 Bee Holed wrote:That's easy to answer.
He guessed, plus it is an unwritten Premier League rule that smaller clubs are not allowed to go 3-1 up
whilst playing at Old Trafford with 12 mins left.
Not only that, he is blocking Dyche's view of the offside.Colburn_Claret wrote:Re Mourinho outside the box. There was a play in the match where the ball was clearly out for a Burnley throw and the liner never put his flag up. The only reason I could think that he didn't give it was Mourinho was on the touchline blocking his view. Shouldn't that carry a punishment?
Wonder why !!!2 Bee Holed wrote:Interesting that this wasn't covered on MOTD.
Were you there? Did you see it down the line like I did? Pogba stopped because he was beat and saw the flag from the assistant, Vokes played on, and the whistle came only about half a second to a second before he lobbed De Gea.KRBFC wrote:Looks offside on the 3rd pic, his feet are level but his nose is off. Either way, how exactly was it a disallowed goal? everybody stopped playing 30 seconds before Vokes put the ball in the net
I'm saying from the third screenshot his feet look level but his head looks offside, it's hard to tell from that angle though. No I wasn't running the line at Old Trafford.Rick_Muller wrote:Were you there? Did you see it down the line like I did?

Thanks for the screenshots it proves what I and all the Utd fans alongside me knew at the time - he was onside.
Fair enough, but note that the third screenshot is where the ball has already been played, that fraction before when it is actually played he is onside.KRBFC wrote:I'm saying from the third screenshot his feet look level but his head looks offside, it's hard to tell from that angle though.

Which I can't comment on so didn't, the only evidence I have seen is the 3rd screenshot where he looks offside (but it's a dodgy angle), I doubt there will be a better angle available but feel free to post if you find it and we can conclusively say he was onside.Rick_Muller wrote:Fair enough, but note that the third screenshot is where the ball has already been played, that fraction before when it is actually played he is onside.
Inconclusive photo - perhaps, but when I saw it live from the SAF Northstand he looked clearly onside when the ball was played, as did the Utd fans - their response was one of disbelief and they thought it was funny that the ref blew for itlancastrian wrote:You are offside it there aren't two defenders between the attacker and the goal when the ball is played. The linesman does not have any idea when the ball is played because he is not looking. and neither does anyone else know because the third picture is inconclusive.

The flag should've stayed down because he was only marginally offside? is that a new rule?2 Bee Holed wrote:?????
These are screenshots not pictures. The camera does follow the action you know.
After the third screenshot, Pogba soon gives up the chase and Vokes lobs the ball over their keeper into the net.
If you zoom in, I swear I can see the rear of Vokes' foot on the light green mowing line, whereas Pogba's foot is a good few inches into the dark green.
Vokes' head does appear to be fractionally in front of Pogba's, but I cannot capture the exact moment Barnes passes the ball.
What is for certain is that it's so marginal (if at all) that the flag should have stayed down. Particularly, when the lino must have known he was 2 yards behind play. There is no way he can call a 1cm decision unless he is exactly in line.
eeer not a new rule, you have to be certain (or well beyond reasonable doubt) that the decision you are making is correct.KRBFC wrote:The flag should've stayed down because he was only marginally offside? is that a new rule?
Who's whinging? Had this been covered on any of the highlights programme, I wouldn't have posted it.Lancasterclaret wrote:I'm starting to get quite worried now.
One thing we cannot become is like those down the M65 turned into when they were in the prem.
A lot of threads moaning about perceived injustices that don't actually exist could have come straight from roversmad or whatever its called.
Grow a pair, stop whinging at imaginary bias and just enjoy us being utterly brilliant while it lasts.
A part of the body with which you can legally score a goal.starting_11 wrote:Where do they even judge "offside" from?
It doesn't seem to be the feet as one would assume?
