Crooks' goal

[newusername]

Assistant referee right in line & looking along the line, so there will be a Blackburn player out of shot playing Crooks onside as there is no way an official would get that wrong.

 

[Diego]

He was miles offside. A terrible decision once again.

He was miles offside. A terrible decision once again.

The linesman was looking along the line and clearly indicated that fact to the players (and fans).

 

[Boro4life]

I did look at linesman when he scored and was surprised it wasn't ruled out

what does that mean

 

[EuropeTwice]

Linesman probably felt sorry for us

And?

 

[Maccarone]

Any goal this season needs to be cherished, offside or not.
Not often we are on the positive side of a wrong decision, normally the opposite. I'd happily settle for another one on Tuesday night, very happily accept one.

Still best to be honest. It was offside.

Kudos to the lino for being the only person in the stadium who spotted the out of shot player

 

[TheYorkshireTerrier]

We’d be rightly fuming if that was given against us

 

[TeaCider]

Miles offside, and made the match look far more competitive than it was.

 

[coluka]

Clearly offside, I can only assume the Assistant Ref missed the offside due to his guide dog cocking his leg up at the corner flag.

 

[Alwaysaborolad]

Think the linesman should have gone to specsavers

 

[clay]

Don't blame the lino for getting it wrong. He wasn't used to seeing Crooks interfere with play

 

[Scrote]

there will be a Blackburn player out of shot

The only players not in the shot are Dolan and Gallagher who would both presumably be further up the pitch as we didn't score from e.g. a corner where they might have been in those areas.

Absolutely awful decision but we've had more than enough go against us this season. Not scoring a second made it pretty worthless in the end though.

Good post. Was blatantly offside. Not sure why the OP couldn’t have come to the conclusion that the lino might have got it wrong

As soon as Forss? crossed the ball I turned to my daughter said "Crooks is a mile off, that's not going to stand" and looked across at the asst ref who had his flag down - the blind get.

Seen the replay, absolutely a mile off.

"We scored a goooooaaaaal,
We scored a gooooooaaaal,
We scored a goal
We scored a goal,
We scored a goooooaaaaal "

Not sure why you're just inventing your own scenario for it based on nothing instead of just accepting the linesman ballsed it up.
