Referees/Officials

No complaints today from me other than the disallowed goal.

Merlin wasn't offside and Raz didn't try to play the ball so it wasn't offside.

Raz tangles with the defender so the decision should have been a free kick if anything but it wasn't offside.

Not really as once he tangles with the defender the officials deem him to be active and affecting the play so offside given.
Whether the defender would have or could have got anywhere near the ball or Silva is a judgement call either way

Ive no issue with it being a foul and free kick but i dont agree he is offside.

Anyways, its no goal either way.
 
Ok today but it still does not change the fact its a terribly difficult job and poor decisions are being made regularly.

Im personally not sure what the answer is but you cant watch MOTD without seeing a game adversely affected by decision making
