Brentford 2-0 up, would be nice if they topped the league going into the new year but Sheffield Utd are playing Scun thorpe today(assuming that will be blocked without the space) and Hartlepool on saturday, the bottom two, can't see them dropping points :(

2-1 now. Still very unhappy I couldn't go...so I made up for it by booking my train tickets for Crewe away... in February! :D
 
Offside own goal :cool:.

edit: lol that's moronic. Evans only intercepts it to stop the ball getting to Ba... yet Ba is not affecting play?
 
bahahah, wtf, so ridiculous.

They really have to give the offside if the player for any reason reacts to a player offside, I think the current rules that goal maybe should count, who knows, but it really shouldn't. What is so hard about player being offside, whistle goes, if he's offside but no where near the ball, players who kick the ball, inbetween ball and keeper.
 
If you are offside and interfering with play then it doesn't matter who it goes in off. Can't say we don't deserve to be losing this though.

shot was taken with the player in an offside position with the ball going into the net whilst being stood right in front of the keeper.

It was offside - goal should not have stood.

Unless the rules have changed?

That's everything that's wrong with the offside rule. Evan's had to try and clear the ball because of Cisse so he had to have been interfering with play and therefore offside.

Yup. Happens so many times but referees clearly don't understand football.

Edit: it's ridiculous because if Evans shanks or misses his clearance and it goes to Cisse then he'd be called offside, it makes no sense whatsoever.

A few years ago the rule was along the lines of stood infront of the keeper and it would be given, then it changed to be more along the lines of, if you don't touch and and don't try to touch it, it won't be given.

Was it a daft Arsenal goal where, someone was about 5 yards offside for a freekick, infront of the keeper blocking his view but because he didn't try to touch it the goal was given, those goals are utterly ridiculous.

I remember at the start of last season when Arsenal scored an og against us in similar circumstances and one of the ex-refs said that by the letter of the law, the player is only interfering with play once he touches the ball (unless he's blocking the keepers sight) and the correct decision was to award the goal.
