VIDEO: We can’t figure out why the linesman disallowed this goal? Can you?

This man shouldn't be trusted with a flag

Darragh Murphy

It’s not offside, nobody was fouled and the ball was clearly a yard or two in play.

So why the flip (excuse the profanity) was this perfectly good goal disallowed?

Melgar midfielder Eduardo Uribe scored a goal that we see relatively often in football whereby the wind takes a cross, the goalkeeper loses the flight of the ball and boom, we’ve got a goal.

But the panicky linesman raised his flag inexplicably when this effort went in on Sunday.

Answers on a postcard ladies and gents.
