Quote ="Kosh"So now we have three choices...
a) Is Thaler a liar?
b) Is he unaware of the offside and forward pass rules?
c) Has he not seen the video yet and is hoping it doesn't reveal his towering incompetence/bias?

"Monaghan is very close to being offside. If you pause it when the ball is on the player's foot he is in line. His leading leg is in front but is not grounded, this is a very tight call."
