We had a worse one in a World Cup finals third placeI can understand how the second one was given, and possibly even the first, but I don't think either of them can be considered "the worst offside decision ever" when you have ones like this

I know. There are times when you wonder what the hell someone saw and this is one of those. I can't see a handball, but maybe he did, but then why the IDFK? And why make him move back to the goal line inside the goal area, because the ball was on the edge of the area by that time.Is there shouts for handball?
course that does not explain the offside restart, or indeed the gk restarting from one yard out
This is not true. I've had plenty of 1st time L3s in August on step 3.Also it was in August, when step 3 games are always given to more experienced L3 Referees / L4 ARs rather than newly promoted ones.
Thanks, I was trying to make sense of how they could screw up so badly, because it really looks like they did.This is not true. I've had plenty of 1st time L3s in August on step 3.
If you are a level 3 you'll get any level of game at any time. Even more likelihood of getting one as traditionally numbers of available. Refs are low in August due to fitness tests not taken and summer sport commitments.
Blue has passed the ball to a team mate who has at least 3 out field opponents between him and the goal line?Watching the first one again, I can understand the AR, even though of course its completely incorrect. He thinks blue has passed the ball, and raised his flag
At this point, the very least the referee should be doing is playing on, and, if needed, then go across to the AR just to confirm whats went on.
Simply accepting the flag on autopilot, ( feeling the buzzer maybe) is just futile, you simply need to be aware
I just can’t wrap my head around this decision. It’s wrong on so many levels.I can understand how the second one was given, and possibly even the first, but I don't think either of them can be considered "the worst offside decision ever" when you have ones like this
The tweets are from 2018. The clips are not.It was in 2018. When was the 'new' offside rule introduced!
I remember both of those (not bitter at all). The tiatto one at boto is bizarre and just plain wrong, ended up drawing the game 1-1 and getting relegated. I was at the Liverpool game in with the home fans, interesting experience!
Surely that is what we expect players to do every time we make a decision?Yeah guess so. Crazy how city just accept thd decision with no protest!
