Raheem Sterling

[Daffy Duck]

Yeah you're right, I was looking at the worng lines for comparison.

I think this is pretty clear from this angle that he was offside:

I'd say that shows he's onside? Follow the grass line at the feet of the furtherest back defender, he's about 2 yards onside

I think you should look at the 16 yard line first...

[little dave hedgehog]

those lines are diagonal tho.

[meffin]

FFS.

**** diagonal lines

He maybe offside in the pic but the ball has long left the foot of Can, if you freeze frame Mostar's vid, he is onside when the pass is made. He is so quick off the mark, it catches out the linesman from looking when the ball is played across to Sterling's position, by the time the linesman finds him, he has already moved 2-3 m.

Is it ?

The ball looks to have already been played in that.

So if he's running at pace just as the ball is kicked, well, he could easliy be onside looking that image.

Here is the action frozen before Can played the ball - looks pretty clear to me he was offside :

Debating an offside goal in a friendly? Oh yes that's right I'm on Est

[RedReet]

Haha, it was a pre-season friendly. Does it matter that much to anybody?

You wait 43 minutes to post 1/2 a second before me.

****er.

[EwarWoo]

Bet the linesman loved that pitch

The messed up lines completely throw the eye out, even looking at it frozen repeatedly. Woulda been a nightmare.

On or off, NFI, but either way can't blame the official here

[Fosterbloke]

It matters because it was against Man City, it was a wonder goal and because Sterling has previously been wrongly flagged offside against City!

Ok then, argue away.

My sincerest apologies.
