Did you see the flag go up BEFORE the ball went in?

[Artois]

Luckily when the ball rebounded off Henderson, I knew the ball was going to be smashed into the net so I immediately looked up at the linesman and saw the flag go up just before they 'scored'.

So I was spared the complete distress that so many fellow Albion fans suffered for those few horrific moments.


When did YOU realise it was disallowed?

 

[y2dave]

Same as you, it seemed like slow motion but I saw the flag as it went up and just panicked if the referee would still allow it.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Yup, saw it out of the corner of my eye and immediatly turned to the Palace fans and gave it 'the biggun'. Lovely stuff.

 

[Seagullible]

Think this was discussed yesterday MARTIN

 

[sully]

Same as you, it seemed like slow motion but I saw the flag as it went up and just panicked if the referee would still allow it.

Likewise, my only panic was that it was for a foul by one of our players that I hadn't seen and he was trying to give a penalty.

I remained calm, though, and just started laughing at the Palace faithful behind the goal as they slowly realised what had happened. Priceless moment.

when andrew hawes said

 

[Meade's Ball]

I saw it go up straight away. I looked smugly at the floor, knowing that nothing could spoil the evening from then on.

 

[tinx]

I just started laughing when they all went mental for a few seconds before they realised that we were going more mental.

 

[cardboard]

We we in line with it and saw the flag and then started waving politely to the Palace fans

me too

 

[McShane79]

Yep - I was bang opposite the linesman, and knew it was off before the ball hit the back of the net - the Palace lot behind the goal weren't so quick!!

 

[Simon Morgan]

i was near the top of our stand and feared the worst but all our fans in front of me started cheering as well so i took a look at the linesman with his flag up and started giving it the large to the palarse faithful

Great Avatar!!!

 

[Grunty]

i was absolutely gutted for 2 seconds ..

then i saw the flag.


YES !!!!!

 

[Fluffster]

Yup saw it go up early, so was busy shouting "IT'S f***ing OFFSIDE, LOOK AT THE LINO THE FLAG'S UP" whilst waving two fingers over at the Palace fans.

Ahhh... marvellous scenes they were.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Listening online I nearly died. The commentary seemed to take an age to realise it was offside...

 

[eagles #1]

I jumped 3 feet into the air...slowly moved my eyes to the left as i saw this horrific yellow thing flying in the air...and noticed the poxy Lino had his flag up...patted my best mate on the shoulder as he was facing you lot giving it the 'biggun' and said quitely "oi mate...it's offside"

I was nearly sick.

 

[Curious Orange]

I thought I heard the ref's whistle go before the rebound was struck home too, the only thing I was worried about was that the ref was going to change his mind!!

I keep on hearing from Palace fans (including friends of mine) that they think that we're more into the rivalry thing than them but I think their reaction to the "goal", and some of the comments I heard walking back to Selhurst Station after the game prove otherwise.

That really was the icing on the cake!

 

[Wilka]

Luckly I notices almost straight away.

It really was the iceing on the cake.

If you watch the hightlights look at Harty's reaction. At first he looks utterly gutted before he noticed and starts taking the piss of the fans behind the goal.

 

[Marc]

saw the flag before the shot was hit thank f***!
