    thats football !!! now curbs has had the best start to a prem season in nine years, maybe those f**king w***ers in the press will leave him alone ! unlucky fabio capello its your turn now (well for two weeks atleast)

    Ashton was level with Samba when Noble took the shot so how can he be offside? Agree about Derbyshire though.

    This happens all the time in football, the next match might go in Blacburns favour witha couple of bad decisions, its swings and roundabouts my friend.

    h4gster - I'll have to take another look tonight. I thought he was off by a good amount but I'll keep an open mind.

    Nice to see Bellamy's return and a wonderful goal to boot.

    I agree that the press have seemed to have a vendetta against Curbs this summer. Hopefully this win can shut them up.

    Cheers,

    I found a good view at http://www.dailymotion.com/search/west%2Bham/vi...

    (Around 3:50 mins)

    It's incredibly tight...could be level, could be slightly offside, depending where you freeze it.

    Maybe benefit of the doubt to the lino on this one.

    News papers are not selling..all the sports writers have to make some money from bets..betting on curbs to go ! so they are just upping the ante !

    Great site. Keep up the good work.

    I will say that the linesmen are officials also, so it's not as if they don't understand an advantage situation. I don't believe their angle affects their judgment that much in this instance. In a lot of ways it's just like basketball refs, where the guy in the best position isn't always the guy who makes the call.
