The linesman didn't flag the initial shot, he flagged for the guy touching it in at the near post.
Still the wrong decision though, he must have been twitching at the Foran shot.......

A "mistake" of Andy Davis proportions.
Decisions like these make me boak.
Yet another typical 'wrong call for the right team' was there for all to see tonight.
What's being done about it? What will be done about it?
SFA :grr:

Watch it again, and you will see the linesman put his flag up once he sees it has gone in...:wink:..

Something smell not right..:bitchy:

:agree:

I couldn't believe that. Both players clearly onside yet on the call of 1 person the goal can be chalked off. Cheated Motherwell out of 2 points in the end.

Total disgrace. Incompetent is the only word to describe it.

Terrible. :bitchy:

A mistake? :hmmm: I doubt that flag would have gone up had that happened at the other end :bitchy:

Incompetent isn't 'the only word'. You used a more appropriate one earlier.

I doubt whether it was as easy to tell with out the benefit of tv slow motion. However I have seen remarkable on side decisions being given remarkable because to the human eye it wasn't easy to tell, such as the Galbraith goal at Celtic Park. If that was clearly seen as being on side by the assistant then so should Motherwell's goal. It must be a different assistant and one which is not as good as the one we had at Celtic Park. Who assigns officials to games?

Yeah it was a rank rotten decision, but wtf was the guy doing kicking it in on the goal line ?.....If I'd struck the shot I'd have been raging at someone nicking my goal....unbelievably the well players seemed fairly philosophical after the game and shrugged it off as one of those things...

That's the point, if you're not sure you must allow the goal to stand. You can't rule it out if you're not 100% convince a player was offside.

In this particular case he had a clear view of the situation yet somehow called it completely wrong. Decisions like this are an embarressment to the SPL and costs clubs money. In this case Motherwell, Rangers and Celtic might all have their season changed by this ridiculous decision.

One of the worst calls ever seen from an assistant ref. The man concerned should be reduced to officiating schoolboy football, but then perhaps it was not such a bad decision , after all it did let the huns off the hook :grr:

All the huns accept it's a goal until one of the trumpets catches sight of the linesman with his arm up and starts flapping about his arm as well as if he had thought it was offside all along.

I despise that team and just about every incompetent official in this country:grr:

......or needs his eyes tested.

Shockin'...........

If you watch him carefully running down the line, you'll see that he has the same kind of "Shetland show pony" prancing "running" style that Craig Thomson exhibits when he breaks out of a walk! :wink: :faf:

Wonder if they learn that from Hugh Dallas as he had it too IIRC! :cool2: :greengrin

If the BBC moved the word "should" in between "Rangers" and "have" and gotten rid of the question mark it would've been a fairer name for that video.

"Should Motherwell's goal against Rangers have stood"? Hmm, tricky one BBC I'm not sure.

Look on the bright side. It keeps Motherwell 9 points behind us and we're not competing with the Huns for 1st place.

I'm sick of seeing this type of thing time and again, usually to the benefit of the OF :bitchy:. I've just come back from America and while I was there the Superbowl was played.
Hear me out on this one.
During the game, the New Orleans Saints were denied a crucial 2 point play at a vital stage, despite the play looking good. American football teams are allowed to challenge a referee's decision (twice, I think) in any game. The Saints challenged this call, a video panel studied the replay and correctly overturned the original decision.
I've shied way from video replays for a long time, but now I've reached the conclusion that it's now imperative that we introduce them here. It should hopefully eradicate these god awful decisions we see in the SPL, and deny the OF the advantage they consistently get.

Aye ... okay... but ... what if the video panel is made up with apron wearers?

Double jeopardy methinks :grr:

And for that very reason the SFA will shy away at every opportunity to implement this..:grr:

I can sympathise with a lot of bad decisions in the game. I would not be a ref or linesmaneven for anything, even if you promised me a run at Megan Fox and Scarlett Johansen together straight after the game...well on second thoughts...

Anyway what I mean is that it is easy to make mistakes when things are going at a hundred mile an hour all around you and you don't have eyes on the back of your head.

But in this case the linesman didn't flag till the boy at the back post touched it - so he is saying it was him and not Craigan who was offside. He was right in line, had the edge of the six yard to aid him and so there is no way he could not have seen that the boy was behind the passer when the ball was played.

This leaves two options: either the linesman doesn't know the most basic rules of the game, or he is a cheat. I opt for the latter because, shock horror, again it happened against rankgers.
