    Don't wanna go into things about the game on here, just want peoples thoughts on Hoopers goal today.

    I don't think it was offside, everybody else,it seems is saying it was off.

    So just to get thoughts folks, not really making anything of it, just want to clear, for the oncoming arguments I'll cause in work :D

    Edited
    In fact, found a good image

    Offside by a bawhair, no way is that anywhere near as dubious as the penalty. In real time its almost impossible to tell, certainly was from where I was sitting, never crossed my mind that he was offside. Hearts players didn't seem to complain much either.

    Looks a bit offside but it's still hard to tell.

    Very very close. Benefit of doubt should go to the attacker though

    FFS, hahaha, cheers bhoys, nails that one, my argument is that his leg is lifted off the ground, dunno why that is my basis for arguing, ie, arm cannae be offside kinda thing, but his left leg is definitley behind/or at least in line with the defenders.

    I know that right leg is sticking out, but that was my basis, didn't want to post that right away though.

    Cheers, and feel free to laugh at me hahhaa

    You certainly can't label it a dodgy decision, there's *-all in that and almost impossible to call in real-time.

    Onside.

    It's only his knee that is slightly off.

    Offside just could have gone either way.

    That's what I thought. Specially reading the pen evened itself out rubbish. It's marginal at best. They always say give the benefit of the doubt to the attacker, must be daylight, etc..

    Just offside, this was nowhere near as easy a decision as their penalty which should never have been allowed though.

    the rule is 'if any part of your body that you can score with is offside then you're offside' but the rule is 'give the attacker the benefit of the doubt' so is it just me or are they incredibly contracdictory

    Bawhair. But..... If my memory serves me right, daylight has supposed to be between you and the last defender.

    But it could easily have been called off.


    * it!!!!!!!! They got a penalty that wasn't.

    Championess...........SFA can't cheat that out of us anymore.
