Dons_1988 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 I think that looks offside, but not sufficiently for them to be weird about releasing the lines. Maybe if it was so obvious they shouldn’t have taken about 10 minutes to decide at the time. f**k what VAR has reduced this to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, if it was so obvious to the VAR, why did it take so long to disallow the goal? 4 minutes ago, Dons_1988 said: I think that looks offside, but not sufficiently for them to be weird about releasing the lines.

My best guess is that there was a mix up between MacDonald and Sokler at some point, and when they announced it as MacDonald but drew the lines at Sokler, they realised how bad that would look so they just lied. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely sounds like a poor lie. If it has gone they way you suggest then they are cowardly and undermining their own credibility. Such a silly own goal. If macdonald is offside then they need to be bold enough to say the lines at the time were wrong but the decision is still right. It’s a shit look but it’s a hell of a lot better than lying about it and leaving that open to peoples interpretation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a ridiculous supposition. There is absolutely no, repeat NO, precedent for Scottish FA officials doing that kind of thing. Much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee jeemie Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Sorry but for me looking at game last night , 3 Aberdeen players clearly ahead of the livi players in an offsides , think McCann who I normally think is a good fair pundit needs to go to specsavers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not saying he is onside, but he definitely could be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Bloody hell, David Currie and Peter Grant. Then Clement’s take on the Celtic penalty. Just utter guff, and I’m sure he also says it hit Goldson on the shoulder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ropy Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 12 hours ago, kingjoey said: Really? Sokler is definitely offside but isn't part of the equation. To my eyes Macdonald looks to be being played onside by the guy at the top of the picture. Is Macdonald one closest to us? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, because he’s the player who puts the ball back across goal, and the only player that can be adjudged to be offside. Although I’m not convinced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Credit is due that they started with Motherwell v Hibs, then segued straight into Aberdeen v Dundee before any manager interviews or analysis. If things had been a bit more topsy-turvy during the afternoon, I wonder if they would have done a good old fashioned intercut. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC92 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 According to the commentator our win yesterday "goes some way" to securing Europe next season. We're 19 ahead with 15 to play for so you wouldn't think it was that hard to figure out Europe is already done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Only' 11 clear of fourth, fifth won't be a European spot if Aberdeen win the Scottish Cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
