The disallowed "goal" v Mansfield

[fbm]

Having looked again on Blues World it appears to have been disallowed for the ball going out of play. The linesman has his flag out horizontally, meaning a goal kick.

Gray had to head it - I don't think he would have reached it with his feet. It was a full length diving header.

Anyhow, when the ball comes out, Lewis Hunt drives it back, Dudfield shoots, and the keeper pushes it wide. At this point Eastwood, who is off the pitch, knocks it back and Duds pokes it in.

Now, lets say that it WAS out of play. Why was that not a corner? It was a clear save by Pilkington.

We wuz robbed!

It doesn't matter. We should have played much better and had it 'in the bag' long before that. Let's get over it - there's still 20-odd games left - maybe even Cardiff again!

Seeing it again on there as you have, how the hell we managed to mess it up in the scramble before the controversy I don't know!? Gray certainly should've done better and possibly Dudfield as well.

Defiently not a goal kick. The referees hand was raised at the taking of the kick indicating an indirect free-kick most probably for offside.

Which brings us back to the fact that Mansfield had two players on the goal line so how the f**k can it be off-side?

And, on the video, you can clearly see the linesman indicating horizontally, meaning goal kick.

and as i've said before, a horizontal flag can mean either a goal kick or an offside in the middle of the field. (a flag pointing up meanin on the far side and pinting down meaning on the nearside)

it wudn't have been disallowed for someone coming back on the field of play example Collymore vs Sheff Wed. Cudnt See from East Blues.

Quite right. If the player being flagged for offside was standing between the goalposts, for example, then the assitant referee's flag would have been raised horizontally.

It was definately for offside against Bentley.

 

[fbm]

Ok. I guess that clears that up then.

The match report on the mansfield site says the ball went out of play.

 

[McScriven]

Well Dudfield said after the game it was for offside against Bentley.

 

[jro]

Any way we can ask the lino? He should know but then again maybe not.

I was realy bored and so went on the Mansfield website to see what they had to say about the disallowed goal, and it says that the ball had gone out of play.

Altough I've decided you can't realy trust that website because they have invented a new player for us- Nicky Nicolas
