Didn't look offside on the TV, was about a yard onside in fact on the replay.
Which might explain why the lino didn't flag!

I felt I was making it clear so sorry if it did not appear that wayYes, I know that offside was not about slide rules but where do you draw the line? We have a clear line on goal line decisions, throwings, corners. If we leave it open to interpretation you leave it open to controversy and corruption.
Good thing is away goals rule is scrapped next season. Though we still need to defend better.
Ha, with our luck, we will go out on penalties next year when away goals would have seen us through ...
Apologies for the negativity but I'm still a bit emotional after that - Unfortunately our age-old problem of coming up short in genuine "crunch" games is still there. Apart from Liverpool in Jan, if you look at what I would deem "proper" games over the past few years our soft centre is still there - Liverpool (x3) last season, United at home to win the league, Monaco away 2 years ago, going out with an abject whimper against Madrid previously.
Its the hope that kills you.
Additionally, letting Llorente between both centrehalves to score with his arm/midriff was criminal.
Genuinely cant see us winning the league from here.
Congratulations mate,i wont say the best team won but neither do you not deserve the progression to the Semi Final.I hope you find the ability to go all the way now.Slightly embarrassed to reappear here.
For years Spurs have been synonymous with snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It is nice to have it the other way round for a change.
Well played to everyone. I hope I could say that if the result had gone the other way.
