Apologies if already discussed but was he actually offside? Can't seem to see it from a good angle in the highlights?
It was nowhere near close - it was way offsideYes, it was close
He didn't flag straight away because the interpretation of the law is that he is only offside when he takes possession of the ball. In theory, another Boro player who was not in an offside position when the ball was played could have appeared from nowhere and then play would continue.Was it quite a late flag? It seemed off from the East (near the North) but I'm sure the linesman didn't flag straight away.
Agreed, he was a mile offIt was nowhere near close - it was way offside
From my point of view HE was the one getting the boos at half time, so slow with his actions.Was it quite a late flag? It seemed off from the East (near the North) but I'm sure the linesman didn't flag straight away.

So he was booed for doing his job properly, then?From my point of view HE was the one getting the boos at half time, so slow with his actions.
Ah yes, the carefully chosen photograph that proves absolute nothing - watch the video, it was waaaaaaaaay offside
