Well it was very tight , and to close to call from this angle.

Too tight to know for certain with that being the only camera angle we've seen, but does look just offside to me.

I was sat almost in line with play and I do think he was offside, very slightly, but that’s offside I guess. However, how many times have we had similar tight calls go against us or for the opposition striker? How many times have the officials got it wrong?

The game was as good as over and it was a little bit of history - if there was any doubt it should have been given to him but the pedantic little f*ck*er called it anyway! If he was 100% sure, then I guess it is fair enough, he was going his job, but FFS, if there’s any doubt at all it should be given as a goal. I know, heart ruling head but such a shame to rule out Billy’s 300th goal for such a small margin! :headbang:

I think he was just offside, but the ref looked rather disgusted as he looked towards the lino after.

How the heck did he only play 3 minutes added time, several breaks for subs on and physio on twice.
Grant said he was expecting 7 minutes,  we have had no games all season with only 3 minutes.
Makes me wonder if Ed the Duck wanted to spoil Billy's  party.
