The 'offside' goal

[JackLadd]

Not offside at all. When the cross comes in there's at least two hearts defenders playing McG on. We won 4-1. :agree:

I think he was penalised for climbing.

[AZhibee]

I think he was penalised for climbing.

No way he was offside, was something else. I think the defender just fell down in awe of DM.

[BH Hibs]

Ref definitely gave offside as it was an indirect free kick.

[MacGruber]

I think the goal was fine - onside and no foul

However the Holt goal looked offside (all the better)

Regardless of both it should have been 6 or 7 never mind 4

Looked well off st the game but Paused the tv pictures, onside by the proverbial hair. Couldn't have criticised the lino had he flagged though.

Didn't think it was offside either when I filmed it. Guy next to me nearly knocked my phone out my hand when the ball hit the back of the neck. Managed to catch it before it hit the deck. :greengrin

He was half a yard offside, he never managed to get himself inside at any point and the fact he was the closest player to the Lino made it easy for him to put his flag up.

I was in line with it, he was standing offside the whole time in the build up, so much so the linesman did something I've never seen, before it was taken he walked about 5 yards onto the pitch for a closer look, then went back to the line and when it was taken he put his flag up

[Brightside]

I was in line also...and everyone next to me thought he was off. But the replay shows his intelligence as he runs along the line right on it with Kitchen. Then steps forward right at the pass from Cummings. Its brilliant from the Lino tbf.

Had McGregor to score last at 40/1. Bad linesman!

[greenlex]

Kitchen got subbed at half time.

Yup. Couldn't stand the heat.

[danhibees1875]

Kitchen got subbed at half time.

Well he must have been miles onside then. :angry:

[aussie_hibee]

Kitchen got subbed at half time.

Pretty sure he's talking about Holt's goal

[Brightside]

Pretty sure he's talking about Holt's goal

aye.... the thread is all over the place tbh! :greengrin

I was inline with where Mcgregor was and he was standing offside before the kick was taken, expecting the hearts back line to drop a yard or 2. They didn't early enough so he was still half a yard offside when the free kick was taken. Few folk about me saying it before it was taken aswell. I actually didn't bother to celebrate as knew he was offside and wouldn't count.

They're lucky though, should easily have been 5 or 6 the other night!

I was sitting in east block 39 and my seat was slightly to the left of where McGregor was standing. Just seconds before the free kick was taken I said to the guy on my left side sitting next to me "mcgregors offside and he remained in that position until the set piece was played. Defo a good call from linesman as he was defo offside at the time the ball was kicked. I did not jump in celebration as the flag was up before he headed the ball and I knew what was coming.

Yep as stated above it was offside. I was sitting just about directly inline with it in the East. All around me agreed it was offside also.
Would've been nice had the linesman got it wrong! 😂

Yep, 100%. It would have been nice though to get an offside goal given, as minor compensation for Forster's 4 yard onside goal ruled out at PBS or even Leigh's 2 yard over the line free kick. I genuinely can't remember us ever getting the benefit of a major wrong decision vs Yams. Even going way back & the late late King Pat goal, it was proved conclusively to be well onside.

Doesn't matter where he is when the cross comes inIt's where he is when it's taken.He did the same in the first half but wasn't flagged.

[SRHibs]

We also had a good shout for a penalty in the first few minutes. Looked like a penalty from where I was sitting!
