Was he offside for first goal?

Looked it to me,the linesman was worst ever proper big Galloot,never up with play,waiting for ref to decide the throw ins

for our older poster ,thought it was Pike off dads army

 

My son in his 11 year old wisdom wanted to sit on the front row of the West lower. We were right behind him and he was useless. The first goal looked offside from his vantage point, but he wasn’t in line with the last defender so how could he know? He missed hand balls, blatant shirt pulling and fouling and seemed to be having a lovely time chatting to their left back.
I was not a fan.

 

Yes . we're in line with the edge of the box so the view is spot on..sadly the liner wasn't.

 

Thought so ,think they must have looked at it at Half time because Norwood was giving linesman dogs abuse,his incompetence changed game in my opinion

 

Impossible to tell from the highlights but he isn't far offside when the camera pans to show him after the ball is kicked and judging by the length of time it took for that to happen and the speed he's running compared to kitchings slow, laboured jog it isn't hard to believe that he was inside when it was kicked.

 

Impossible to say for certain from the highlights, but I'd be surprised if he was. He appeared to react much quicker than our back line did, and when he receives the ball, he's only a yard ahead of them. I'd say in line at best. I feel Cundy could have made more of an effort to cut the ball out, and Connell and Benson both close the goalscorer down without getting really tight enough.
