…was perfectly good! Today the big decision went our way
Agree just seen the replay on SSN said ref gave it for Sheff Utd players obstructing the view of the keeper, definitely got away with that one.…was perfectly good! Today the big decision went our way
Agree onside.He was onside.. The players offside were not active or obstructing Grims
Was exactly what I thought. Except tonight the flag was up only a few seconds after the goal was scored as opposed to 13 days later against QPR.Disallowed perfectly good goal against QPR, end of thread!
He had to be offside. How would the linesman have been the one to give it otherwise?Agree just seen the replay on SSN said ref gave it for Sheff Utd players obstructing the view of the keeper, definitely got away with that one.
The players (plural) in an offside position were offside.The liner points to the players in an offside position, not the players who was hit by the ball. I’d be livid if we had a goal like this disallowed
The one in the corner was a foot over the bye line I was 10 feet away.The one with Bowler was corner, but you don’t always catch those small touches. The one with Lavery looked like they were spot on - the ball seemed to not be over the line in the first place. Anyway - they can’t take a goal away from SU because we missed a corner kick
As well as the saved Bowler shot, their was another in the last minute where he wrongly gave a goal kick as the ball came off the guy who ended up on the floor.The one in the corner was a foot over the bye line I was 10 feet away.
yep, even though it deflected off another player Sharp was clearly offside AND in the keepers line of sight.Not the exact moment of contact, but I'd say that's pretty clearly offside..
The last touch is yet to be made, so this picture doesn’t reflect the full story. Grims was not calling for any offside, which suggests he was not disturbed.Not the exact moment of contact, but I'd say that's pretty clearly offside..
Sky highlights show that Grimshaw didn’t appeal …. happily the referee was much older and much wiser than Grimmy and almost certainly decided that his view had been obstructedThe last touch is yet to be made, so this picture doesn’t reflect the full story.

Exactly. There was one pointed out on TV at the weekend, can’t remember which game. Ball played to an attacker who was offside but no flag as the ball hadn’t reached him yet, the defender had to clear as he isnt going to risk leaving it, so instead of a free kick and possession to the defending team, the attacking team who had committed the offside got possession back. Barmy!!The way the offside law these days is a right mess & makes little sense . There was an instance tonight when SU hoofed a long ball forward . SU's forward was off side but ran for it forcing Grimshaw to come out of his area & clear it into the East stand . What should really have been offside & a free kick to us ended up being a throw to them just because their player didn't touch the ball . Is the goalie meant to jut "hope" the lino flags it when the forward touches the ball & not make the effort to clear it ? STUPID new interpretation that wasn't needed .
Its not Cricket , you don't have to appeal for a decision in football that's not how it worksSky highlights show that Grimshaw didn’t appeal …. happily the referee was much older and much wiser than Grimmy and almost certainly decided that his view had been obstructed
Says the guy who posted 40 times on the qpr v Blackpool match threadFfs who cares…can’t believe we’re even discussing this pointless issue
You don’t but it helps.Its not Cricket , you don't have to appeal for a decision in football that's not how it works
Agree and clear from the photo above. And both the lino and ref seemed to think that was the case.Clear interference in the keepers line of sight... correct and straightforward decision.
He was clearly obstructing Grimshaw's view... He couldn't see the deflection clearly. You can see on Lee Charles video that Sharp was in the keepers direct line of sight.The liner correctly puts his flag up as Sharp is clearly in an offside position. It’s then up to the ref to decide if Sharp was impeding Grimshaw’s view. He wasn’t. The ref has guessed and got it wrong.
That's just your opinion though and has no bearing at all on whether or not it was offside in any case.Was right behind it in the North and Grimmy wasn't getting anywhere near that strike, obstructed vision or not.
You could interpret that by saying sh1t keepers never get an offside decision.Was right behind it in the North and Grimmy wasn't getting anywhere near that strike, obstructed vision or not.
Billy Sharp was directly between the ball striker and Grimshaw and two yards offside in the view from behind the goal. Correct decision.Agree just seen the replay on SSN said ref gave it for Sheff Utd players obstructing the view of the keeper, definitely got away with that one.
You have not seen the clip from the south stand I presume.He was onside.. The players offside were not active or obstructing Grims
