reading the comments was it wasent it, i always thaught that if a ball hits a defender and goes backwards then the attacking player cant be offside
dannys kick on saturday appered to come off leon pryce,s leg would this put lee on side or am i getting the facts wrong

Depends in Pryce was deemed to have played at the ball.

from behind the posts on sat thats how it appeard to me and a few arround were i was sat, but the v/d dident appear to look at that part of it

That reminds me of the game at Wigan a few years back when they went 16 -0 up at half time before we came back to beat them. One of Wigans trys came off a blatant forward but in Stevos words "may have been a touch forward but who cares? What a try!"
Idiot, yet when we came back later in the game all three of them kicked off about one of our dodgy trys and didn't shut up about it.

I remember that match what an atmosphere one of millards best games for us imo aswell.

What exactly can be heard on these? Is it the commentary, the ref, TJ and VR all at once?

it was offside and you all know it i hate saints more than anyone but it was wrong call

There is no explaining to idiots

I like this little illustration posted by a Saints fan to show smith is 'clearly' off side

Clearly the simpleton did not receive instruction in perspective during art lessons at school



But they do make an important point - the video stills should not be let into the hands of idiots nor should the means to digitally edit them, Clive Sinclair and the Thatcher government have a lot to answer for.

TBH still think it's offside, i would take what Cummings says with a pinch of salt he is clueless, the few occasions he has come out and backed the ref he still has the wrong decision

The sooner he goes the better

To be fair, if the kick had happened there and not two seconds later after Smith had checked his run and allowed Danny to catch up.....

The kick did happen there. It's just that they edited the photo and moved Smith forward.

I think they just didn't draw the line at the right angle. Try again with the line parallel to, say, the cut line on the pitch.

They moved Smith forward and also drew that ridiculous line.

In that picture Smith is clearly infront of the ball. I checked it against the BBC coverage because it's still on my Sky box. It's blatantly obvious that Smith's position has been changed.

On closer inspection, you are right. Wow, imagine taking the time to do that.

His feet should be between the shadows he's created, like all the other players are.

Who would go to the trouble of making this picture?

The first time I saw it posted it was posted by Hugh Janus.

I think he's one of the resident rlfans trolls, so it might just be an attempt to stir up some stupid Saints fans, or it could be a joke.

It's still not as good as Damo's Jammer Graham "Cheap shot" mock up on Bailey.

Ahhhhh the 3rd man in sjithouse picture that was quality

That's the baby

I would love to see that again cmon Damo where are you when we need you

As a Rl supporter of many years I fully accept that Leeds are indeed Champions simply and purely because their team finished at the top of the league after playing each team during the season home and away.
They are Not the champions for that win last Sat. You MacL cannot in all honesty tell me that you truly believe that try should have been given!! I will lose faith in you as a mod if you do......Like you I too believe that the media are Thatcher inspired again....must be because they are getting worried about having they expenses chopped...maybe the same impetus affects Eddie,Stevo et al...along with the refs -video or other.....grannyfan Cindy

Both feet behind the BALL when it was played - obvious try


What people seem to be confusing themselves with (including Sky muppets) is measuring Smith's position against Mcguire's body. Maggs is irrelevant, its the ball that counts

Completely agree- People are going on like it's a blatant offside which is wasn't!!

Eastmond's try in the corner would have been given IF he had grounded it, depsite his foot appearing to be on the line. Matter of MMs - therefore, Lee Smith being onside/offside by a matter of MMs, Betham has applied the same BoD to attacking side logic.


At the end of the day, it wasn't like Jordan Tansey at MM - now that was offside
