We had a similar own goal awarded in our favour (Rooney flagged offside originally) at Blues a couple of years back, and the Blues fans were fulminating, the slack-jawed @#%&!s.
That was a goal, this was a goal. If Cisse did interfere with Evans it was in the build up to the goal, and it would have been a foul at that point, not offside later. He did nothing to hinder Evans at the moment that he deflected the ball, though admittedly he may well have been snorting with laughter. |

Poll isn't saying that a player can't be ruled offside without touching the ball, he's saying he can't be interfering with play without touching the ball. He can still be ruled offside if he interferes with an opponent or gains an advantage from being in that position (e.g. if the ball comes back off the post). |

Perhaps it would've been better if the lino had stuck to his guns and then come out afterwards and said the FA, the Queen and the Government's secret Manchester United Ministry had told him to do it. |

TBH, I'd save your breath.
Whether you are right or wrong, the ABU mongs will believe what they wanna believe, led by the spackwits in the press. Minor trivialities such as rules, facts & the truth don't & won't ever enter into it. It's football, so all rationality will go out of the window. And you'll never get a top flight ref admitting he got a decision wrong. |

Now, if you were to try to get a foreign ref to comment on it, you might get some success. Someone not part of the club. Email Collina. Then, if you get him to agree, send it to a different paper. |
