Bloody hell. Remember that game, but forgot just how bad it was.

These 'clear cut' decisions are the ones that make folk wonder the most. It seems obvious to all and sundry bar the lino that a player is in an offside position. It's not as thought the offsides are coming at the rate of ten a minute. When I did a bit of lining it was a simple situation - eye and brain engage and the rest is pretty automatic! It makes me wonder endlessly what aspect of the brain messages inside a linos head are getting priority!

The Kyle Walker offside at The Lane beggars belief, and the obvious question should be raised with the lino at the end of the half - What the fuck were you looking at when there is an attacking player three yards offside, right under yer fuckin' nose?

That was my take on the offsides at WHL as well. The first one looks obvious to us in freeze frame but being kind to the linesman it was a good through ball and the attacker times his run from behind the defender. The free kick offside though is completely different. He has a simple job to look along the line as the free kick is being taken. It wasn't even close a good two three yards offside. That goal also made it 3-1 and pretty much finshed the game.

Can anybody remember Riley's stats at the Swamp, did he not have a ratio of 12 penalties to zero in favour of the Scum? That Arsenal game reminded me of the tag teaming against Sweep.

If you see a freeze frame of that free kick the linesman is watching the kick and not even looking along the line!

As soon as that ball was played I called offside. Even from my armchair with the camera angle it was obviously offside. He was looking somewhere else when he should have been looking down the line and his vision, which if you are looking straight ahead takes in a substantial amount of a football ground, should have clocked the pass forward. His mind was somewhere else - or it is something a little more sinister!

He won't be out for long. Give it another week, till everything blows over and back he'll come, a poncing.

Putting Old Mother Riley in charge of PGMOL was akin to making Al Capone the Chicago District Attorney.
