Going back to the Tiote goal incident, my first thought was....correct decision to disallow. Reason, the infringement was offside while interfering with play. The commentator seemed fixated on being in Harts view, which he wasn't, but, the player had to get out of the way of the ball on its way to the net, if he'd stood there it would have hit him and no been a goal, so he has to be part of that phase of play, and to the letter of the rule, when the ball was struck he was in an offside position. Feeling very on my own here, have I missed something?
"Quote:
A player in an offside position is only penalised if, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his team, he is, in the opinion of the referee, involved in active play by:
interfering with play or
interfering with an opponent or
gaining an advantage by being in that position "

Shambles at the back by both sides.
