This commentator a Richard.. linesman in two minds. How long as the rule been that the lino doesn't raise the flag until the forward in question touches the ball.. cos until that point he's not offside..
Since Hourihane started coaching free kicks, we've stopped dummying the delivery. It makes defending mega simple, because when you dummy it the defensive line drop back in in anticipation of a cross. It makes it easier for runners or people starting in offside positions. DKD and Russell seem to have been instructed to start like that all season, but without a dummy of the delivery, theyre just offside and out of rhe game. Its another thing this coaching staff do that makes zero sense.
Yet the abysmal failing DoF is still in place despite all the evidence that he simply isn't up to the job they gave him.
You saw a Barnsley keeper dive and save a ball that was going miles wide and nearly lose it from his midriff… decisive though.
A lot of players seem to get to the ball and make contact, but with absolutely no direction on it. It goes anywhere, and usually to the opposition.
The very definition of narrow margins. Phillips hits the post. Jones finds the very corner. Peterborough getting in behind Barnsley time and time again is a worry though.
