Nah, I watched that over and over again at the time. Wes Brown was equal with the furthest forward Leeds player at the time the ball was played.
Sean That disallowed og still rankles with me as well (even though with my rational hat on - very rarely worn when considering LUFC matters! - I have to admit that it was just about a correct decision...........it seems counter-intuitive that on og could be disallowed for offside, but Bowyer I think it was, not Viduka, was in an offside position when the ball was played to him at the far post, -----Original Message----- From: Robert Heath <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Tue, Aug 31, 2010 5:04 am Subject: Re: [LU] Leeds on the Today programme - The ref in the game against Man U for (a) not sending off Barthez when he kicked Harte, despite giving us a penalty, and (b) then giving Viduka offside when he wasn't for the own "goal" that would have won us the match and given us enough points to finish in the Champions League that season. That disallowed og still rankles with me as well (even though with my rational hat on - very rarely worn when considering LUFC matters! - I have to admit that it was just about a correct decision...........it seems counter-intuitive that on og could be disallowed for offside, but Bowyer I think it was, not Viduka, was in an offside position when the ball was played to him at the far post, and Brown probably knew he was there and that influenced him in trying to cut the ball out and thereby diverting it into his own net.) There was also a penalty given to Newcastle in the 3-4 home defeat for a totally unintentional Danny Mills handball which I still seethe about. I've seen 100 similar incidents since then which have all gone unpunished. My wider point is that with the squad Ridsdale had given him , even with the injuries and even the effect of the trials (which he, ie O'L exacerbated) O'Leary should have been able to safely qualify for the CL without having to rely on last-minute own goals or the award or otherwise of dubious penalties. But anyway, it is all shit down the sewer now, so I agree............let's focus on the future. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman-new.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
