100% correct I thought he was off at the time but when he is active he is on side and player who scores is just on side too...it's a fair goal...the penalty shout though.... 1000% was a penalty and a red

I've not seen a replay but spoke to a few people who were either nearer to it than me or have seen replays and they all said it was nailed on

Had to sit in the kids zone today with the grandkids. The penalty was so obvious it was a joke.
If somehow the referee didn’t have a clear view because he was behind it, the linesman couldn’t fail to see it. He was side on with a perfect view.

Think the ref threw the linesman under the bus because when our players went up to him he pointed to his ear piece as if to say I never got a call and next think one of our players, I think Rudi, was over having a go at the linesman

Not offside original ball drops to someone else as contact is Made MvE and someone else drops deeper MvE gets goalside of the “offside” player thus when the next ball is played he is onside. Was not interfering with play either goal was just poor defending

How is he not interfering with play, if he isn't standing in an offside position when A, the ball is kicked and B, the ball is headed on by one of his teammates, Milan would not need to drop back to cover him, the offside rule is a joke.

EMC is turning into the player we hoped we'd bought when we signed him . He's improving all the time. Not blessed with pace but technically brilliant and a nice bloke.

I

1/4 to be champions, 1/14 to be promoted.

dont worry lads I’ve not backed them

If we do lose to Ipswich it's rly nothing to panic over. This start allows us to remain calm for quite some time

I agree, although I really don't want them to win their game in hand against Blackburn and then do the double against us. They would then make nine points on us.

I'd actually be reasonably happy if we lose away and draw at home: we are clearly capable of doing better than that.

If we do the double over them I will buy the title champagne and put it on ice

This is along the lines of what I was saying after the Wrexham game. For the third goal, Moore was offside for almost the entire attacking sequence, and only came onside when the ball came to him.

I get that the difference in perspective will be "it was clever" and "the rules state he's onside", which probably there is a hint of truth in the first and factually accurate in the second, but the defender cannot mark the offside player but is still in the defender's decision making - therefore how is he not interfering with play?
