JFK-1 1,669 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I think momentum carried the guy over the line. I also think he held off coming back on to the field because he would have been offside. He's not much of a footballer if he couldn't stop at that relative trot of a speed. The Rangers defender just to the right of him was moving at exactly the same pace and immediately stopped and turned to his right when the ball went over there. He could have stopped if he wanted to. He made a decision to trot off the field. And that's the be all and end all of it. We can't have players just deliberately trotting off the field and especially so in moments of frantic goalmouth action then just stepping back on when they feel like it. That was a great piece of officiating by the linesman concerned. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uilleam 5,409 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 The bastard was offside. Is there anything more to say? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinstein 294 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 The bastard was offside. Is there anything more to say? probably the offence would have been re entering the field of play without the referee's permission 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts had earlier netted through Don Cowie, but the midfielder was flagged offside. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
