    I thought so, but it wasn't a great camera angle so impossible to tell.

    Possibly. He’s definitely in front of the two Rotherham defenders but there’s a possibility he’s level with Ogbeta when the balls played. It’s hard to tell with the camera angle

    Think the reaction of the Rotherham players tell you all you need to know.
    Not one of them appealed so must just have been angle

    I thought he was at the time and having seen the replay, I think we got lucky with that one.

    Looking at this freeze-frame from youtube, he's just about level with Ogbeta (put a ruler on the 6-yard line) but definitely ahead of the defenders.

    Very tight either way, VAR would have had a field day.

    Edit; I love Jon's non-celebrations by the way....

    That's after the ball has been struck making it more likely he was on when Ogbeta struck it.

    Depends which of the two was moving forwards the fastest I suppose.

    Ref gave it onside as did lino. That's all that matters. But you can't tell from that photo. As when the ball was crossed.

    I wonder if his reactions to scoring reflects any discontent? He always remember him having a smile on his face. Could be absolutely nowt in it like.

    Looking at that, there is an argument to say he was behind the ball when it was played.

    I can't wait to read that kind of pragmatism the next time a decision goes against us.

    He was in offside position if the ball had been played forward to him but it was squared to him, anyway even if he was it made up for all the wrong decisions the 3 officials made, they were very poor again last night

    We have enough posters who'd claim we were lucky had we won 7-0 last night!

    It looked like a forward pass to me, Russell runs onto the ball.
