How is it offside if ball goes back? These referrals are an absolute farce

That's irrelevant.

If you are in front of the last team mate to play the ball you are offside until put onside.

Does retreating to the point they last touched the ball not count as putting yourself onside?

This is keystone cops. Of course you can be offside even if the ball go backwards.

Well yeah but it clearly went forward anyway.

I agree with you, but the ignorance about a clear law is unbelievable.

@anonymous the ball bounced forward so the first ground contact was his off side line

It clearly went forward. But bit of a shambles.

[Victor Meldrew]

Gotta admire Fraser's attempts to explain what appears to be a complete refereeing fuck-up

[Mattasaurus]

Gawd the blues backs passing is average

[KiwiMurph]

That sums up the Blues attack problems.

Otere stands way too deep and then Tele'a can't pass

That’s my understanding too, as if the ball was touched by someone and went backwards you’d have to go behind that point to then pick it up, therefore youre not offside?

I do wonder what equipment the TMOs are given, is it my old VGA monitor? When they can't see stuff that everyone else does.

Classic chiefs line-out

Yes, or getting behind the player who last played it. That didn't happen though.

You have to go past it ... they clearly didn't think Stevenson went past it, which was what I thought when watching in real time. On replay I'm down to 70/30 so fine with the penalty.

Blues passing behind the backs, would be right

[Canes4life]

@kiwimurph would you have Beaudy at 10 next year or do you think they will play him at 15 again?

I agree that he didn’t, but as that wasn’t the ruling, how does that work?

[taniwharugby]

Christie coulda played that but waited for the ref to blow it

I think it was the ruling (or should have been) but they did a bad job of explaining it

[taniwharugby]

@anonymous yea right call but botched how they explained it
