TheGoodJoe: We keep attacking Onazi unnecessarily here. The whole team was jittery earlier in the match not just Onazi, even Balogun was exposed for his lack of pace on 2 occasions. If you watch the Cameroon match in uyo again you will notice, we also did not start well but settled down as the game progressed. We ended up defeating them comfortably. So forget, our improved performance in the second half was not down to anything special from Agu. 3 Likes |

greenhulk: Your initial position was that he can't ignore an offside call from his assistant and that is the point I was arguing. Anyway, no need to argue this any further since we're on same page now. 1 Like |

greenhulk: Disobey the assistant referee Can a boss be fined for disobeying a subordinate? @bolded, I've cited examples where the referee ignored the linesman offside flag and he was spot on. Did you visit the link I sent you at all? |

greenhulk: I downloaded a copy of of the book 2hrs ago. And yes I understand where you're coming from. There was a time I too would have argued on your side. An incident happened a while back which changed my perspective. The linesman signalled his flag and the referee ignored it, I can't recall the match precisely, I was stunned. I felt like he had disrespected the assistant referee, but a proper research changed my perspective. |

greenhulk:Even if he goes with the linesman's decisions he can still be fined if it was a wrong call and he was in a position to see it. |

greenhulk: You're right, but I want you to know that it's his call to make. And I've seen incidents where the linesman raised his offline flag and the referee waved play on, heaven did not fall. |

greenhulk: Ref maybe properly positioned but he wasn't watching dzeko, rather he was watching the player that made the pass, so he relied on his linesman. But he can chose to ignore him if he was sure. Of course its foul play, and the people of Bosnia complained. That doesn't make the Zambian onside though |

greenhulk:A little research would not hurt. https://www.google.com.ng/amp/www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/confusing-alexis-sanchez-fa-cup-10512935.amp A linesman job is to signal, he doesn't decide. It's the referee that decides, with the help of the assistant of course but he can chose to ignore their counsel and he won't be breaking any law. 1 Like |

domiron: But you did not agree before. You were absolving him, that is why I wanted you to know the decision rests squarely on his shoulders. Once the referee sounds his whistle, play is supposed to stop until he whistles for play to continue, which is why our defenders stopped chasing except echiejile. The Zambian attacker thought he was smart and continued play, he should have gotten a yellow card for causing confusion. If the ref had not sounded his whistle, I doubt he'll find himself in such a comfortable position to even play the ball. 1 Like |

greenhulk: Haven't you ever seen a ref ignore the linesman flag? The onus lie on the referee to make a call whether the linesman raises his flag or not. And he can chose to ignore if he had a proper view of the situation. Mind you, a linesman does not only pick offside. Fouls, corners, throw in etc. |

greenhulk:I'm calling a spade a spade, it was an offside, from my own view and refs anyway. I've watched several YouTube videos of the match and all of them have the same view which is same with the TV view when I was watching in real-time. Maybe you should post links to the videos of the different angles you saw. 2 Likes |

greenhulk: On what basis are you saying the goal should have stood? Are you trying to say a player can ignore the referee's whistle and go ahead to score even if it was a wrong call and the goal will stand? Ekong played closer to shehu, it's balogun that played close to echiejile. And for the record, you're judging from a picture that does not even have the right angle to decide if it's offside or not. The man whose job it is to decide if it's offside has decided. CASE CLOSED. If it happened to super eagles We have had our own share of bad officiating in the past and didn't cry to FIFA. Mind you I don't consider this incident bad officiating, it was an offside. This Same Zambia were given a non existent penalty against Nigeria in afcon2013 group stage. 4 Likes |

greenhulk: So according to you, this particular picture is enough to claim Mulenga was onside? Without the line it is even more difficult to judge. But it definitely looks offside to me. Look at the players body positioning with respect to Ekong. Even if they are in line, he already appears to be taking off which can cause some parts of his body to be ahead of the defender. Zambia has no argument. Besides the call had already come long before he scored. Any play after the referees whistle is invalid. 1 Like |

victorazyvictor: I don't understand why people keep saying cancelled goal when there was no goal to be cancelled in the first place. The linesman raised his flag and the ref had blown his whistle long before the ball got to the net. There was no goal to begin with. That Zambian player should have been shown a yellow for continuing play when the whistle had already been blown 2 Likes 1 Share |
