Controversial goal at Birmingham

Birmingham manager Alex McLeish thought the officials had eventually made the correct decision which led to the equaliser and the match finishing 1-1. Was he being diplomatic or respectful to the referee? Comments please!

“The linesman’s flagged for it and we felt that if he flagged for it then it shouldn’t be given,” McLeish said. “I thought at the time that it should have been given offside. We thought Rooney interfered with the guy who put it in the net.” For full article click here.

Referee for the record was Mark Clattenburg, his first appearance on this blog!

    I can’t recall a goal being given after the linesman flagged for offside before. The own goal is a red herring, what about being offside and interfering with play???

    I’ll say it was close, & yes, it could have gone either way, but I’m pretty sure the gaggle of Manks in Clattenberg’s earhole swayed the decision (as usual). The only good thing about that is that Felcher yapped himself nearer to that 2nd yellow :)
