Euphoria...then that sinking feeling......

[Oblio2]

Wow. When DD struck that ball into the net, it was an unbelievable feeling....just crazy elation...for 2 fucking seconds. The we saw the lino's flag. Then, my heart sank.

Was it offside? I swore it wasn't.....Didn't/haven't seen any replay.

[Daveisonfire]

I'm still waiting to see a replay too....:(

[flatpicker]

I was trying to judge based on the MLS highlights reel.
Hard to say for sure... Dichio did get a good jump on the the defenders but whether it was ahead of the ball being kicked... dunno...

[Super]

It was 100% offside.

I just saw the video.

Would you happen to have the link please?

I'm glad it was offside... (after the fact I mean)
because if it were onside and the ref blew the call then I would be pissed!
Better to not get the goal because we didn't earn it.

[Roogsy]

Yeah...except a previous offside against Dichio (when he had a clear lane to goal) wasn't an offside.

This ref and his cronies sucked hard.

Agreed! Much easier to take. No outrage!

I was told by a CBC viewer that Dichio's goal WAS onside, but perhaps the CBC feed and MLS footage differs in some way.

And yes, the officiating was incredibly shit.

I watched in on CBC just now on my HD PVR... it was offside and DD knew it also.

There's no doubt that it was offside, and as mentioned elsewhere, there is a great deal of doubt about a previous play by Dichio that was called back. That one was really close.

The goal was clearly not good.

[Daveisonfire]

Yeah Danny knew it was offside as soon as the ball went into the net, he looks straight at the linesman to see if he had his flag up..

[Oblio2]

Definately offside. Shame because I think if DD would have held up, he still would have scored.
And, the fucking euphoric feeling and then the pain as it was called off...that was hard.

[Roogsy]

Yes, but the previous offside against Dichio was a bad call!!!

[Daveisonfire]

Yes, but the previous offside against Dichio was a bad call!!!

Too many bad calls to count really:(

[Rochdale]

l sit in the front row in 220 and he was offside. He went just before the ball was kicked.

[noochie]

True, I wanted to shove that whistle down Napolean's throat after the first half... and that flag up his soldat on the sideline.

[yanggoh]

either way, that ref was still a joke.

[egoodwin]

either way, that ref was still a joke.
the quality of his calls or his height?

"The referee's a midget!"

[Brooker]

ahhh it would have been beautiful.

if only danny waited half a second.

oh well.
