That's hugely disappointing as it should certainly have counted. Thought it was onside after seeing the replay on Saints TV, even with the camera angle as bad as it is. The ball has actually left Frasers foot in that screen grab, so Obika would have been even further onside when the ball was initially struck.

How do you know Eastons foot was in that position when the ball was struck? How can you tell that Obika isn't leaning beyond Easton? That angle is absolutely shite for trying to determine whether he's offside or not IMO. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're both leaning in different directions, it's impossible to say with certainty whether he's on of offside from that still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthBank Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Some of you might have noticed, as I did, that Kyle McAllister lasted the full 90 minutes for us tonight. I had to lookup on Soccerbase to find out the last time it happened. Spoiler PlayOff final 1st leg v DU Will probably be a sub on Saturday.I noticed that too. However I think he was only kept on as there was no-one to replace him. He was posted missing for most of the second half as he does not have the stamina to work for 90 mins even though he may be on the park for that length of time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Accies defender is significantly further into the box. Even his front (right) foot is playing Obika onside. Still doesn't make me want VAR, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you go by their feet, yes, but thats not how offside works. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the picture posted it *looks* as though Obika is onside, but due to his upper body leaning ahead of his feet, it's impossible to tell from that angle. I suspect he probably was onside, but that picture certainly doesn't prove it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts too, I also think Flynn must fall into a similar category, his sparing use since returning against Dundee Utd makes me think he's not up to two full games per week, the quicker we can hobble past these next three games the better.

Ric Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I thought it looked onside at the time and the still does nothing to dispel that notion. I do however feel the assistant's flag was up even before Obika headed it back because the Hamilton players seemed to give up defending it. Not that we see the flag, and maybe that was just Hamilton defending in general. I said this right after the game and I'm going to repeat it, we very much look a side that's been playing a lot of games in a short period of time. The positive is that we don't look mentally gone though, there still seems to be the desire to fight, just the legs aren't as willing. A win against Livi, on Sat, would make all the difference I feel. Whether we'll get it is a different matter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Goodwin will come through many more challenging seasons than this as a manager; I'm sure he'll emerge all the better for it, too. That we're even in the half-decent shape we're in is basically incredible. We definitely need some serious luck on the injury front if we're making the top six - by which point, if it happens, we're going to be totally knackered and will get pumped all over the place. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 What's weird is it literally goes from Anderson's goal to Rice and Goodwin fist bumping at the final whistle. They missed out 20 minutes from the game where there were quite a few "highlights" not least the disallowed goal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I actually thought it was offside at the time to be honest, but now I see Randomguy also thinks it was offside, I realise I was wrong and the goal should have undoubtedly stood. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
