Don't think I've ever seen a lino before who didn't know that you can't be offside from a throw-in. That was schoolboy stuff and worrying that we have people officiating who make those most basic of errors.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
Is knowing the offside rule optional for linos nowadays?

We all laughed when he put his flag up as we couldn't believe that he had done it. Fortunately the ref ignored him, making the lino look even more of an idiot.

I have a feeling he didn't know the ball was from a throw in. I think he thought it was played through

First time I've EVER seen that from an official. A real double-take moment. I mean there's incompetence, and then there's just...
..well.
..well.

I'm not so sure but assuming he did then you have to question his eyesight because hundreds of people sat directly behind him saw the throw-in.

21,000 people in the stands knew it wasn't offside. Just a shame the linesman didn't! What a shambles.

Its hardly a rule a linesman wouldn't know - He just missed it, might be stupid and perhaps he should have seen it but assuming he didn't know that beggars belief

Offside from a throw-in is a new one to me. Apparently Blatter brought in new rules this year. The irony being if we complain about it, we'll be the ones who get fined. Genuinely unbelievable.

Sweden scored a goal this week against Holland that was started from a throw-in to an otherwise 'offside' player.
We got (sorry, I meant Adam Hinshelwood got) mugged by McGleish a couple of seasons ago in a similar move that led to a goal.

Okay. Let's assume he didn't know it was a throw-in. Are you now saying that he put his arm down again very quickly because the crowd told him he was wrong? I looked straight at the ref after his flag went up and the ref did nothing. That means that the lino was influenced by the crowd in that case. Hmm...

All I'm saying is that he made a mistake and realised it when everybody got on his back. I've once or twice for a moment forgotten where I parked the car but it didn't mean I didn't know I had one!
He didn't make just one mistake. The first challenge when the centre half went through Sparrow, he flagged for a free-kick in the other directiion and the ref overuled him. Missed a ball going off the Hull player a couple of times and also gave us a favourable decision as well. Arguably in over 35 years of watching the Albion, for me he is one of the most incompetent.

I don't disagree - he wasn't the worst I've ever seen though by far. Can I just point out that I'm only saying I disagree that it was a case of him NOT KNOWING THE OFFSIDE RULE - he just F**** up!
