    Brummies first goal - I like McNulty but he cannot make mistakes like that in the Championship. School boy error by McNulty.

    The Done disallowed goal - McEverley passed the ball forward and Davies stepped over the ball. I was in line with the linesman who probably thought that Davis had got a touch. Done looked off side from there. However, the ref was stood near Davis and Done so he had a clear view of who passed the ball forward. Therefore the ref should have consulted with the linesman and from this the ref should have over ruled the linesman.
    Basically what I am saying here is that the goal being disallowed was the fault of the referree and not the linesman.

    Brummies third goal - a player should not have been able to score from an acute angle like he did. There are a lot of fans who think that Steele is a bit dodgy. That goal will not do Steele any favours. It was poor goalkeeping.


    All in all........the ref didn't do us any favours but we didn't help ourselves either

    Utter nonsense. The third was struck as well as anyone could hope to strike a ball from about 10 yards away, acute angle or not. Steele is only saving that if it hits him. 9 times out of 10 the ball misses the target and goes into the crowd.

    I sit in family stand. Dead inline with the offside decision. The lines mans flag was very late. It was like he wasn't paying attention looked up saw done miles in from of every one and just presumed he was offside and stuck flag up.

    It was linesmans fault and very poor

    I sit at the back of the Ponty and there was no doubt in our minds that the goal was onside and Davies hadn't touched the ball - without being biased were were 100% sure the linesman and ref who were a great deal closer and in a much better position to see the incident got it wrong. Its just not good enough to be getting game changing decisions wrong when they are so clear cut.

    So was Davies offside?

    If so then yeah it offside and we can have no complains.

    Doesn’t matter if he touched the ball, it was played to him and he held off a defender to let it run by so was interfering with play???

    I think the Ref blew as soon as the flag went up (and before Done scored). He didn't really have the option of consulting.

    True, I'm sure the keeper made no effort to save the shot.

    I cant see how they can give the Done goal, Yes Davies didnt touch the ball but he influenced the defender who would have cut out the pass. Cant believe the ref or whoever apologised, they were correct.

    He was, but so what?

    When the ball was played forward Done was not in an offside position.

    You're not offside if someone nutmegs the ball. You're offside when the ball is played.

    Do not think that you can tell whether Davies was offside or not as he was not in the shot when the ball was played. He certainly was not when he received the ball, but that does not mean he was onside when the ball was kicked.

    Re: eh?

    Watch the beeb highlights.

    Davies is at the side of the defender when the ball is played towards him. The Brum defender in the middle only appeals when the ball gets to Done - who had travelled beyond the defenders to get to the ball.

    Absolutely atrocious decision - the linesman down that side was crap all night. Think he was applying the offside rule from the 70's.

    Maybe Davies was offside when the ball was played

    If he can move at the speed of light.

    Not disagreeing with you, but this whole 'interfering with play' thing comes in - it's the only thing I can imagine the Ref/Lino thought on the nigh.

    No it doesn't

    If Davies was in an offside position the whole concept of interfering with play comes in. If he was in an offside position then I would argue that even though he did not touch the ball he was interfering with play so he should have rightly been given offside. But he wasn't in an offside position and he wasn't flagged for offside, Done was flagged for offside, so Davies interfering with play has absolutely nothing to do with it because he didn't touch the ball.
