ram59 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 BTW, I don't whether this has been covered, but Adams goal was wrongly called offside, not that it matters now. It was wrong on 2 counts, firstly the defenders foot was hanging back and playing Adams onside, a marginal decision, but secondly the defender made a deliberate act to clear Sibo's shot which meant that Adams was onside, this was poor refereeing.

SillyBilly Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 1 hour ago, angieram said: There was one lad broke rank (I think NE corner) and the ref seemed to see him and turned and blew before the onslaught. He is the absolute arbiter of time. Good on you ref! We didn't want that farce they had at Leverkusen where they spent ages herding them back off the pitch. You could see the lino on the far side (away from the tunnel) was running before that even, he had obviously told his assistants via the ear piece to make their move about 10 seconds before he blew, he started jogging himself then and his far side lino was already most way across the pitch by the time he blew. I think you are right though, he didn't want to risk it and IMO he made the right call. This would've been highly controversial though if it was something like 1-1 and Bolton were winning by a fair margin.

FlyBritishMidland Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Great day that will live long in the memory. Early goal settled the nerves and even though we lost our way a bit in the middle of the 1st half, they never looked like scoring. I don’t really remember Wildsmith being troubled other than the tip over the bar. Really nice that Bird got his standing ovation and hugs from the players as he went off. Cash-in ran half the length of the pitch to hug him. Adams was immense and my MOTM. He was everywhere. A bit like the shopkeeper in Mr Ben - as if by magic, Adams appeared (one for the over 40s!!). And David Clowes got his well deserved moment too. It’s nice to read all of tweets from ex-players today, keep posting them. Fantastic end to a great season 🐏. archram, Kathcairns, Nishfan and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re wrong on your second point. According to law 11, the defender also has to have control of the ball. I’m not sure sticking your foot out would count as having control. The defenders foot looks like it might well have been playing Adams onside but it was extremely close and probably impossible to spot in real time. Consequently, it definitely wasn’t “poor refereeing”. Thank goodness it didn’t matter and we can just debate it as an interesting topic of conversation rather than being angry about it.

He could have stayed if he wanted to but wanted to try elsewhere, which is his right. Let's not rewrite history here or pretend he was doing it for the good of the club. Good goal yesterday and hopefully for him he does well at Bristol. He's been a good player for us but I'd agree with him that it's time to move on for a fresh challenge.

I believe that it would count as having control as it was a deliberate attempt to play the ball and he had time to see it, it didn't just hit him.

It was deliberate but he never had control of the ball. He stuck his foot out to block the shot. Edited April 28 by Tamworthram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 1 hour ago, Crewton said: There's no way he could've played the last two minutes 😂 Luckily, he wasn't a pedant and blowing early didn't affect any league positions. He had already let the linesmen know he was going to blow, the one infront of the east stand was sprinting before he blew. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and he also could have held out and gone for far less money if any if he chose and he could have not accepted a loan back or just gone through the motions, none of which he did , so ok let’s not re write history but let’s also not omit stuff to suit either 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
