Here’s the video for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Unfortunately makes a big difference. Ref went and checked with him but he insisted Lloyd was offside.

It's his side. There aren't any players in the way. How on earth has he decided Lloyd was EVER offside?

I thought it must have been tight but bloody hell no wonder the ref came over to confirm it

At first I thought I might have been a bit over the top saying he was 3 yards onside on the other thread but it's not far off.

Lloyd starts behind the Bolton defender when the cross comes in from Sercs - surely the rebound can't be offside as there's a defender alongside GL when he puts it in?

When you're at the bottom the close calls tend to go against you :roll:

The linesman put his flag up level with the six yard line which was where Lloyd put the rebound in so he couldn’t be offside. Terrible decision by the lino. Make him apologise and suspend him.

I doubt we will hear anything from the officials as there doesn't seem to be any accountability but that's one of the worst decisions you are likely to see.
