Listening on the radio it sounded like their goal was off side. Big protests from our bench. Not seen it.
Saw the whole game on silence as no sound on the red button. Their goal offside. City had no idea how to play v ten men. Why didn’t he take off a central defender as it made no difference to WBA. Carnage at the end. WBA should have had a penalty and Flint gets sent off with their keeper! So a point was welcome but IMO it’s 2 points dropped against such an average team
Well in fairness, we did hold their 9 men in the melee after the keeper walked off!? Think we'd have been happy with a draw pre-match but given circumstances we probably should have taken all 3 points... In saying that though, their late penalty shout did look very strong indeed. Shake up at the back now though with no Flinty.
Even I couldn't take on that 7/1 for City to win the game, so chickened out and went for the double chance instead............. please log in to view this image
Watched the whole game live on CCFC TV - excellent multi camera coverage from the Hawthorns and well worth the tenner. In truth we should have won that at a canter and would have but for that diabolical offside decision for their goal. It wasn't a question of inches nor feet, the guy was 2 yards offside when the ball was played through to him. Probably the worst lino decision I've seen in many a year - it wasn't as if it was marginal FFS. As for their peno appeal at the death, I've seen them given for that but their guy went down like he was shot as soon as he felt Pack's hand on his shoulder. I think the ref saw through it and rightly waved it away. Taking out the "incidents", I can honestly say that was the best performance I've seen from City this season. The passing was a million miles better than we've witnessed and they looked comfortable playing that way. We deserved the win but didn't get it - still, I'll take that for now for the vast improvement in our overall game.
Just took a screenshot from a goal channel and it looks clearly offside although not the whole pitch is in range
There’s no defender playing him on. A terrible decision by the linesman. My gripe is with Morison for not taking off a defender when they’re down to 10 men. No need to keep 3 central defenders on.
Must say that's closer than it looked live in real time but still well offside - how didn't the lino see that!
Still well over a yard which is a shocker compared to some eagle eyed linesmen/ladies in the prem who manage to judge in milimetres
