Know this won't change anything, but Dempsey seems for me to be onside when he gets played through in the first half and goes around Al Habsi and puts the ball in the net.

Said it at the time, still say it!
Well actually he is offside and Duff wasn't taken down in the box. If you don't believe me, look at the official record. :035:
I forgot to add that Dempsey didn't have a brace. When's the last time a player had two goals called back in one match?
Let's hope this puts a burr in Mr. Dempsey's breeches.

The offical record? Wheres any offical record? If you refer to the minute by minute stuff on the offal thats no way a offical record. I think the pic tells me enough. He wasn't offside.
I think that "official record" bollocks was sarcasm.

To be honest, I think that as well. Hoho. Late yesterday...that's my excuse.
I didn't think so either. Unfortunately MOTD didn't see fit to show it but it was on Skys football first
On the Final Result programme, they said it was disallowed for hand ball!

He had 2 disallowed Mr Peabody. The other was handball
I was having a problem uploading the picture below, hence the delay in posting this. It looks like the Wigan defence has lined up correctly to play for offside and it looks like Demps just got marginally offside ...

Close call...
He is offside all right. Don`t forget the angle of the picture... His handball goal was rather stupid though :S

How is that line parallel with the halfway line??

It isn't. Clint wasn't offside. Done deal.

It's perspective. If the lines looked parallel at that angle, they would in fact be diverging.
The point is that the Wigan defence is trained just like ours to spring the offside trap and they did it all afternoon quite successfully. And they are definitely lined up in the picture, trying to catch Demps out.
