As much as I love Westwood and what he’s done for us , I’m not missing our keeper taking 45 seconds to take a goal kick.

The intended target for the pass was in an offside position when the pass was made causing our defender to react to said pass and the ball bounced to another striker who took advantage. All down to interpretation of the rules at that point. Not whether Lees knew where the strikers were.

“I can’t be offside ref. The defender had no idea where I was”

What does annoy me with linesmen and whatever version of the offside rule is in play currently is why they don’t flag an offside player until he touches the ball. There were here a couple of instances when Stoke were played through and player was a couple of yards offside as he tries to get onto the pass but isn’t flagged offside until he reaches the ball 20 yards up the pitch. Are we suggesting that if he reaches the ball but doesn’t touch it , he’s not interfering with play ?

Even though my first reaction to the goal from the Kop was that 1 of them was offside I’m not going to bleat about it. I’d not given it a second thought until I saw this thread. After 20 minutes yesterday I was thinking Stoke could score as many as they wanted so a draw was a great result. The analysis here suggests the goal was offside depending on interpretations of how the rule should be applied. I am sure someone will be along soon with the rule book

Are you seriously suggesting that a player cannot be offside if the defender can’t see him ?

Errr. That’s what the Lino is for.

How did he not affect play if he caused Tom Lees to try and intercept a pass meant for him ?

Looks like bridges are burned in the megastore.

I’ve moved!!! Wonder if my new neighbours will be better.

The c0ck that sits near me on the Kop slagged Fletcher off from minute 1 until he went off. Kind of fan thats expecting that a player cannot make any mistakes at all and if they do, they aren’t even non league standard. He’s at it every week. Had it all last season with various players. This is the arsehole that watches champions league matches on his phone and spends more time on Bet365 than watching the match. Actually makes me not want to go. Is it possible to move my season ticket elsewhere ? It can’t be long before someone twatts him

Bloke 2 seats down from me on kop watches Champions League matches on his phone whilst we are playing. Although having said said that he is a massive bellend who revels in insulting our players.
