Oh and by the way...someone watching on TV said the goal was offside and the presenter said it was a "terrible decision."
And...What about the flattening of Phil Edwards in the penalty area??

On the 28th watching of the 'offside goal' I think it is agreed that as the guy chests the ball, the goalscorer who flicks it in on the line, is probably level with the ball. TV is not completely in line but probably the correct decision, albeit on the first 27 views he looks offside…
So marginal but probably correct.
Be interested to know what the ref and lino were discussing though. My guess is they were not sure whether flick made had made contact or not and would have given offside if they had thought he had flicked (which he did) but he was not (probably).

I've watched it about the same amount of times and still can't decide!! Need to be a bit more clinical infront of goal, we seem to put the right balls in but miss by small margins. After such a successful season we have become used to winning but it won't be as easy this season. If you had said we would be top 6 after 6 games I don't think I would of believed it so still a very good start. Now let's get Zeli fit

Hi all . Thought today was an excellent game of football bit scrappy at times but i thought the main difference between the two teams was not so much passing etc ..but fitness . Some of your lads looked hooped after 70 minutes . Tbh i would have taken a draw pre game , delighted to get the 3 points with a couple of key players out ... good luck this season not many sides will go to your place and win ..see you at the ricoh

Why all the doubt about the off side
Both Coventry players may well have been level when ball initially came across
But the lad who the ball comes off his leg is then playing it forward and the other guy then is in front of all of our defenders and our keeper!!
The ball was going in but inexplicably the other player makes a schoolboy error to touch ball in
Maybe linesman and ref didn't see the touch and he got very lucky as it was a silly thing to do
He should have just let the ball roll in
So basically yes it was blatant offside but it wasn't given
At the end of the day draw may have bee a fair result but we've not done enough to win regardless
So let's come out stronger next match for the experience

Hopefully there was no trouble today before or after the match?

You let a rival supporter get away with abusing regular users of the board for the best part of a week yet all of a sudden my post that contains language that's commonplace in football is instantly edited? Interesting way of moderating a message board.

We didn't have any trouble pre game, although to be fair we were at Branston Golf Course so wasn't expecting many Cov fans down there!!!

When Murphy crossed it the player was offside at that point, end of! When the player flicked it he was still offside, and the flicker touched it into the goal when he was all alone behind Jon MCL .... m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=lI3ulvg3crIBut stuff happens, we are in 5th after 6 games! COYB!

COYB! Peacock the initial offside was marginal enough to understand it not being given imo But the flick into the net was blatantly offside but I guess not a big enough flick for the linesman or ref to realise he had touched it But can't understand how any of the pundits on TV like Holloway have said it wasn't offside ? But it's a minor point. Games over but just couldn't see why it was even up for debate Ref and linesman got it wrong but that's football

Spence - moderating a forum is a pain in the arse job IMO at the best of times We should support Norah best we can - won't always be perfect but this forum is way better than most IMO

We'll get one those decisions as well, they even themselves out, people make mistakes! BTW, I thought it was a good game to watch for the most part.

I think Sky's slo mo has shown that the flicker was onside, as he was level with the guy who chested it towards the goal.
Jon Mc flapping and missing compounded an earlier error I think.

Spence - moderating a forum is a pain in the arse job IMO at the best of times We should support Norah best we can - won't always be perfect but this forum is way better than most IMO i repeat. The actions that I have taken are as a result of my meeting with police today and helpful advice acquired by me from them. I will explain in greater depth soon.
Back to the thread please...

Does it rhyme with banker?

Its really hard to take a loss when there is such a blatant mistake for the winning goal , but it has already been said we got the luck against Peterborough so we have to reluctantly accept it and move on, we did quite well and were not outplayed by the mighty Cov, I did really want us to beat them though!!

Just thought I'd come on here to clear up the second goal. On first viewing it looks a mile offside as our player puts it in basically on the line, which is why the commentators said it was a terrible decision. On multiple viewing they acknowledged it was a completely good goal. Clearly none of our players are offside when the cross comes in so not sure where that has came from. When it hits our number 21, the goalscorer is level with the football and therefore not offside even though he is ahead of all the Burtons defender. There the rules, if you are level or behind the ball when its played then you can't be given offside. It was the correct decision but I suspect the officials got the right call by accident. Good game anyway, delighted to get 3 points against a good Burton team.

Agree with skyblueelephant regarding the goal but Edwards was definitely pushed to the ground in the last minute just prior to Thiele scuffing his shot. Perhaps a draw would have been a fair result but if you don't take your chances you get caught out. Fair play to the skyblues.

From a Coventry point of view at the time we got the wineries sure we were offside and goal was lucky to have been allowed but dice then it been shown to be onside and correct to stand. However, If i were a Burton fan I would have been very pissed off at the time. On a positive note, I think you will definitely finish top 10, pity you will get a fine for the glare though. As fir the gate, we thought it was a complete sell out and City Would have brought double if we knew that we would have got tickets. Surely you want gate revenue, I know we would.
One negative, why could we not get into some pubs and is some venues made to feel like drunk hooligans? Those of us we can get tickets for these small grounds are all season on ticket holders and not idiots or animals, we enjoy banter but think we respect other teams and there supporters. Those who made the de ions not to,open or allow fans in, list a lot of revenue and did the town of Burton no favours.
Good luck with the season and we will welcome you to the Ricoh, our rented home.

Yep, was an even game really with not much to choose between the two teams. Thought our keeper was gonna throw it away for us.
