ON THE GOAL RULED OUT:

@KevTS1988: Quantity 18 was offside when from 1st header and he went to play the ball along with his head. Regardless that it didn’t contact him, he made a play for the ball thus interfering with play. Right determination

@Wes_safc86: Actually the right determination

@SafcSongs: Quantity 18 was miles offside!! He jumped to attempt n header the ball! So absolutely that’s interfering with play! not precisely a stunning determination in any respect! It’s 100% appropriate determination

@artlowy8: Perhaps he was 3 yards offside

@CroasdellJosh: I’m assuming it’s given towards the participant who’s on the keeper and comes again from an offside place to aim to go the ball, slightly than towards the participant who’s scored. Right determination for me

@LutonNews_LTFC: RE: “If we had VAR then perhaps it could have been dominated again in our favour. I simply suppose he begins in an offside place on the goalkeeper, however then he’s coming away from it and I don’t suppose he impacts the play, the path of the ball, any Sunderland participant in any respect.”

@LTFC_Dave: Gutless from the referee to not overrule his linesman. Extra desirous about defending the boys than getting choices proper

@LutonReport: State of those officers

@andyoots: As a Sunderland supporter that was a tricky watch, the “offside” purpose ought to have stood. You’ll choose up loads of factors when you proceed to play that aggressively. We nicked it as now we have numerous high quality & resilience, however on steadiness you undoubtedly deserved one thing.

@darko_john888: “I don’t suppose it was offside…’ It involves one thing when skilled soccer managers don’t know the legal guidelines of the sport, perhaps he’s simply being disingenuous ?

@jwayball: If Clark tried To play it he would have performed it contemplating he noticed the total flight of the ball and had nobody round him. He doesn’t cease anybody else round him getting the ball both. Anybody who claims that’s offside is a midwit
