...Defoe had not been ruled offside from (Bale's ?) powerful forward header after about 15 mins.
He was blatantly level and not 'with the benefit of the doubt' level but a fraction behind if anything. He'd have had a 1 on 1 with the keeper and I'd say he's scored about 75% of those this season.
I know you're all going to say we weren't good enough to win anyway blah blah blah. We should have been able to come back etc. and even mention the Dawson incident but this is typical of the way our season has been going (I also mentioned this in the 'predictability' thread yesterday).
We played pretty well until they scored. Had we been 1-0 up who knows. Could have been 5-1 and ridiculous talk of catching the scum for 3rd
This is another classic example of where we should be using technology. Even though a replay would be good enough (the ref could simply have allowed play to go on and then got advice from the 4th official in less than 10 secs if a goal was scored). I bet there is technology available to check it automatically. They are able to track all of the players and the ball's position for analysis purposes why not use it to check offsides.
As sh*t as we were later on 'we was robbed' after 15 mins :shrug:
