Our offside goal last night

[conners]

Don't you think it was a bit harsh ?

I know that Helguson was in an offside position, but Mackie's ball was going in the goal. Furthermore, Helguson was trying to get out of the way so that it could be Mackie's goal.

It certainly was not a pass from Mackie to Helguson so i don't understand why the goal was not given.

[Rieger]

unfortunately its the rules. Harsh but the law.

[Shania]

Unfortunately It touched Helgusson.

[Factamondo]

pity as the boy mackie needs a goal soon.....his effort and workrate though are second to none!!.............mr tar 'brat' take note!

[fazer vic]

not harsh just unlucky,

[QPR1234]

was thinking same thing myself. it wasnt a pass at all. helguson should have finished it before the rebound anyways

[qprted]

but

the offside law has changed so many times,im not sure what the law is anymore------------------but i thought it was harsh

[loneranger]

were you in the industry last night ted ?

[rangersroar]

It was very harsh, it's not like Helguson was interferring with play. It was going in anyway, and he didn't stop any Bristol player from clearing the ball.

Would we be saying the same thing if the goal went in at the other end and had been given????? yeah was unlucky but the decision was correct.

(gotta agree really eh!) Not many of us here!!

it touched helguson on the way in, nothing harsh or disputable about it there was nothing the officials could do but disallow it its as easy a decision as you will ever see.

Unlucky for us, sure but certainly not harsh or unfair

[Hertford Hoop]

Harsh yes as the lino couldn't have seen it very well from where he was, that it touched HH

[m_cooper]

not harsh at all,just hh should have dived out of the way

[Bluehoop]

not harsh at all,just hh should have dived out of the way

Actually, having watched the Sky + several times over the weekend I believe it was Mackie's fault as he had the whole goal to aim at and headed it straight at HH! Oh well.
