Luton Outlaws - Independent Message Board for Luton Town FC

I've always argued that a linesman's job is actually impossible. They cannot possibly be looking at the ball to know the exact moment when it is played, and yet simultaneously be looking straight across the defensive line to check for offside at the same time - there will always be a fraction of a second for them to adjust their focus. And, as proven here, a lot can change in that fraction of a second, especially if defender and attacker are moving in opposite directions to compound the issue. For that reason, I'm actually in favour of semi-automated offside calls, if they can make them work consistently and accurately. Not that I'm complaining today, of course!

Just accept it and move on. Celebrate a brilliant day's result. I'm sure we'll be on the end on something like that at some point during this season.
