    IoBS, my view is that the Ref and his Assistant were in communication with each other. The conversation could well have been.

    Asst. The player was offside if he played the ball.
    Ref. I can confirm he played the ball.
    Asst. Decision is Offside.

    VAR. Onside. emoji34.png

    That should only be the sequence of events if we had VAR.

    Assistants are encouraged not to make a crucial decision as VAR will confirm what is correct.

    In your sequence the assistant saw the player offside when the ball was played forward, which he wasn’t. The assistant would be correct to believe the goal should stand if the player didn’t touch the ball, so he asks the referee.

    My concern is we are told by officials that they can only give what they see. It’s their get out cause when they miss a deliberate handball. So I would like to ask this assistant what he saw as offside as the tv has confirmed the player was not offside when the  ball was played forward.

    If this had been any of our Glasgow cousins there would have been uproar. 

    The officials will be judged by their performances and this assistant should be marked down for saying he saw something that wasn’t there. Seeing something that is not there to be seen is considered worse than missing something that is picked up by tv cameras.

    Difficult to tell but the assistant referee was well positioned. Very slow to raise his flag however. Did he have doubts? 

    The linesman didn't flag when the ball was struck towards the goal.

    If the linesman felt at that moment the player was offside that was when he should have raised his flag. 

    That is his job.

    The officials keep telling us they can only make decisions on what they see.

    And the only thing the linesman saw was  4 or 5 irate Ross County players rushing towards him.

    The lineman then believed he had made a mistake by not flagging and he believed he was correcting that mistake with his very late flag.

    As the TV showed it was a very difficult decision to make, but the linesman, I believe, by not raising his flag earlier had not seen our player in an offside position, and it turned out his initial reaction was correct. Our player was not offside.

     Start of the second half against Aberdeen, simple question. Stand up if you oppose the giving of the family stand to the old firm, sit down if you don't! That should let us know. I'll add it to the letter and send it to the board direct if you think I will get a response?

    How about those wee ask the audience buttons they have on "Do You Want to be a Millionaire".

    Surely the audience always knows best.

    Obviously written by a world authority, or perhaps a keyboard seeking attention.

    If the lad is to flourish perhaps it's our setup that will give him the opportunity.

    Please see the next post where I laughed at the notion that we'll finish top, even though it's still possible.

    Not sure if your post is strangely passive agressive. Up ye, if it is. Have a nice evening, if it isn't. :wink:

     

    Honestly, you’re onto a free beer if we go through.

    If we win and Dunfermline get beat we’re through.

    If Dunfermline only draw and then lose the penalty shootout we need to win by 7 goals to go through on goal difference.

    whit’s the odds Faraway?

    Can still finish top of the group.

    Such a positive response.

    I have to admire you for that.

    Can I ask you to remind me to buy you a drink if we qualify?

    I am looking forward to noting Jim Goodwin’s Body language in his post match interview.

    Best we've played in the competition so far, but also the worst team out of the three too.

    Magennis unlucky to score after taking it past the keeper but at a tight angle and Mullen had two great chances that he should've put away.

    I think you forgot to insert the word “not”.
