Webbo118 0 Posted August 18, 2008 In today''s EDP, Steve Gedge says that Lupoli was "miles offside" when he missed and Chris Lakey comments that he was "in an offside position and if he''d scored the flag would have gone up for offside". I did not even consider the prospect of offside at the time and having watched a replay of the incident, the following points are clear:-1) When Cureton shot (or passed), Lupoli was behind the ball2) There was also a defender (and the goalkeeper), closer to the goalline than Lupoli.Therefore, no way could he have been offside, hence the absence of an offside flag Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted August 19, 2008 The fact is, how the HELL did Cureton end up passing it anyway? haha :) What a terrible miscued shot...Watching the replay it was clearly a shot gone wrong and luckily falling to him, hence his startled reaction of a poor shot.Should never have even been an offside circumstances in the first place, Cureton should have scored :) But oh well, next game is on it''s way!

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 19, 2008 I bet the momentum of the attack had switched off tho, and Lupoli knew there was no point trying to score and jus swung at it naturally. Seems daft he gets so much criticism for 1 illegitimate miss when he''s barely been here. Whack him next to Koroma or mystery target man, and then i''ll start judging him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted August 19, 2008 I think we''re more sick of Cureton going on about how he worked over summer and is raring to go, and then scuffs a shot totally up the wrong way resulting in a panic hit from Lupoli who is getting blamed for the miss.JC needs to step up the plate against Cardiff.

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted August 19, 2008 Difference between Cureton and Lupoli, is that Lupoli has far more potential, but has proven far little, where as Cureton has proven probably more than his current ability, and is probably on the decline and can probably not do a lot better Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duffman 0 Posted August 19, 2008 The sooner Cureton is out of the starting line up the better. He''s lazy, he offers nothing when not on the ball and now he cant even hit the bloody target when 1 on 1 with the keeper. He''s lived off his one season wonder with Colchester for too long now. He may kiss the badge and he may love the team but Jamie Cureton is not fit to start up front for this great club. Nothing personal, just business. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Here We Go 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Lupoli might of been offside when the ball was first played through to JC. that could be the only other reason why he could of been ruled offside when there were players in front of him. and you real can''t balme him, JC should of scored that one on one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ncfcstar 292 Posted August 19, 2008 The offside flag was definitely raised. Cureton''s miss was shocking, if only we had someone more experienced to replace him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 0 Posted August 19, 2008 [quote user="Webbo118"]Was it? Are you sure?[/quote]Yes - but I''m not sure he actually was offside. The flag was definitely raised (I suspect he would have missed anyway though!). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djc 0 Posted August 19, 2008 Basic rule taught in any level of football..... stick the ball in the back of net, then worry about whether offside or not later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
