He looked pretty clearly offside I thought.
Poor old Kear. He said something like, 'you can make any camera angle look offside'. Well, maybe so if you're Stevo, but those of us with the not at all difficult ability to add perspective into a 2D image can work these things out very easily. (Not every case, of course, there are some where it can be very hard to tell - just this was not one of them!)
It was like the JJB 'knock on' at odsal, Stevo was ranting on about "that's gone backwards", when the ball was propelled directly in a line away from the camera. The camera was pointing about 20-30 degrees forward of halfway and so the ball going along the same line is exactlt the same amount forward.
Simples. But like meerkats and markets apparently loads of people have trouble with even the basics of perspective.
