Goianegra 4,706 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 If Sky Sport's commentary team think a Rangers goal was onside... chances are it's onside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nachothelegend 1,932 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Another poor decision from an SFL official.They hinted in the Studio that the big man didnt have that much pace.Thought he got his run spot on IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thermopylae 15,288 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Quite surprised actually ... I was in the west enclosure and thought it was marginal but offside Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozblue 4,332 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Yes! the official got it wrong because it was a borderline decision,but in that scenario the decision should go to the attacking team.It was a perfect run by big Kyle,but I think the two Elgin players who appealed perhaps influenced the linesman (sorry! assistant referee) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
govanblue 16,847 Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 but in that scenario the decision should go to the attacking team.When have you ever seen that happen? It's a joke that they say that, cos it's always the reverse.But that aside, I'm not actually having a go at the linesman - we all make mistakes, and it's a pretty hard thing to judge. It took me several slowmo replays to be sure myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

devref 201 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 depending on how you look at that pic for me his feet are defo on the onside but looks like his head is further forward than the guy on the far side so he is in the offside position.but it is very marginal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboscot 1,188 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Perfectly timed and therefor a very tight decision for the linesman. Encouraging display from Kyle yesterday, he's a handful for defenders. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me several slowmo replays to be sure myself.You might have noticed that I said it "SHOULD" happen,if we go by the letter of the law.I have actually seen it happen a few times, but it is a very rare occurrence.When it has happened,it normally is the home team who gets the decision,and the cynic in me says that it would be common at a certain ground in the East end of Glasgow.It certainly was a tight call that the linesman got wrong,unfortunately.The thing I liked was that big Kyle didn't make a song and dance about it and got on with the game.

NamibianBear 1,851 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It's one of those things that you can argue about for ever. Some decisions you get, some you don't. I was disappointed it wasn't given but will accept the decision. We will get the next one when he is offside. Good result all round anyway.

IanFerguson2012 123 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 The Elgin defenders played their part in pushing the linesman to wave his flag. As stated Sky Sports footage shows him onside but he took it really well when he realised it wouldn't count. He got his goal in the end.

AlBear. 8,499 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 It was the way the linesman casually walked back and lifted his flag like a smug wee bastard, when it was clear Kyle was through, "Got ya". I'm obviously bias, but it wasn't marginal Kyle held the line like good strikers are taught and was punished. In the end it didn't matter so we can call it a tight decision that he got wrong.

Look at where the camera angle is. He is standing virtually vertically and his head is still behind the grass-line which the far defender's foot is actually over.

RM Monitor And Standards Officer 111,287 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Infact there was an even worse decision in the game! The same linesman flagged the boy who put it into the side netting for Elgin off! He was about 4yards on when the original shot came in Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
