Why was Ryan Flynn's goal disallowed?

[Silent Blade]

Even some of the Hartlepool players thought they had conceded a 2nd goal and were arguing on whose fault it was

 

[Ollessendro]

It was disallowed because he was judged to be offside.

 

[wardlowwanderer]

It was disallowed for offside but from row E of the Kop I failed to see who was offside. Yet another poor decision by the officials at the Lane this season.

 

[super_pig]

how come their player who headbutted the other one didn't get sent off

 

[Bert]

Bert was inline with the incident. He was offside.

 

[Foxy]

The lino flagged early, so whilst I was pleased to see Flynny nip in and finish, I stayed rooted to my seat.

Cheers Bert

I thought he was offside, but prior to today's game I thought we were a half decent third division side, shows what I know.

Were fucking rubbish DD... but at least we know it.

There was at least a booking in there...

Coz the pratt in yellow didn't have a clue how to get a grip on such players.....only need to look at the complete mess in the last 10mins for proof. This is one of my chief motives for wanting out of this league, not that officials higher are guaranteed to be much better

Talking about prats in yellow. How come the 'Pool goalie was allowed to wear exactly the same strip as the officials.

I said that before kick off, seems very strange given that the two keepers aren't allowed to wear the same colour just in case one happens to go up for a corner towards the end of a game.

Sadly seems to be even further evidence of the inanity of said 'officials'...

 

[Large Mendonca]

Just seen the "goal" on the highlights, never been offside in a million years. Plus there was a handball in the build up that we should have had a pen for.

 

[jockdodds]

TV evidence would suggest that Bert was mistaken.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Sky highlights show that it was not offside a good goal disallowed by the incompetent linesman.

Must be said, I'm in the South Stand A block and was quite 'in line' too and I didn't think it was offside at all - glad the evidence appears to offer some evidence of such, but it's water under the bridge now,anyway

UTB

 

[Bradford Blade]

....a good goal disallowed by the incompetent linesman.

The million dollar Q: why are there SO many of them???

 

[JohnDenver]

I was in line too (B Block South Stand), and thought it was very marginal at best. But it was difficult to say because the eye was taken by other players more central than Flynn.

Anyway, I wouldn't have dared contradict the great man.

 

[Guesty]

Like Foxy said the Linesman flagged good and early. Even he was mistaken, play was stopped well before Flynn had brought it down, gone round the 'Keeper and scored.

 

[Northyorksblade]

I must admit though, quite/very often, the linesman flags for offside, that I have clearly seen is correct and two hundred people around me are on their feet shouting varying degrees of 'never in a million years'

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Kitson was offside a moment before and I had already seen the flag go up well before Ryan put it away

I was the only one not on my feet, naturally!

 

[Large Mendonca]

The only person who looked in an offside position was Kitson, but the ball never got to him due to their "handball" (so not interfering with play). The ball then scuffed it's way through to Cofie (not offside) who then scuffed it to Flynn (not offside).

Whenever a ball comes forward like that I always look instinctively over to the Linesman, it inordinately annoys me when everyone leaps around celebrating when the flag has been up for a few seconds. If the flag is late, fair enough but when it's up before the shot is even taken? No excuse.

A shot came in and hit a 'pools defender - Kitson was well offside. The ball then went to Flynn who put it in the net. The flag went up for the Kitson offside not for FLynn being offside IMHO

I actually celebrated when the 'goal' went in.
I normally look straight to the linesman (fuck referees assistant) if it is close before celebrating, but this looked miles onside.

Kitson would only have been offside if he had received the ball without it hitting the defender. Once the ball hit the defender he was the last person deemed to play the ball. Hence the reason Mike Dean overruled the lino when Evans scored the OG against Newcastle.

You don't have to receive the ball to be offside

And (unless it was white), the 'pool keepers' jersey didn't appear have a number on it.

Because, like so much in the UK today, if you don't toe the line and be a complete arse-licker, you won't get on.

Still, not all officials are incompetent.

Ask Ferguson.

Or Dave Jones.
