He. Was offside I'm afraid , if the ball did not touch him then it have been given I beleiveAfobe,s goal which was disallowed came off his knee,presumably for offside ,looked a good goal to me

Haven’t seen a replay but I was in block 36 and it definitely came off himJust seen the replay the ball did not change direction so Afobe could not have touched it, the linesman only flagged after the Reading players claimed he touched it.
No way the linesman could have seen if he did get a slight touch from his angle, the goal was disallowed purely on the Reading defenders reaction.
Neither the ref or linesman could have seen a slight deflection from where they were at the time if there was one, they made the decision on the Reading players reaction.The ref disallowed it, lino put his flag up after the ref signalled him. Fuck knows how he saw it was offside he was a good 20 yards behind it
I hope his uncle gives him a right hander after that performance.In a nutshell Kavanagh is a cheat and no referee likes to be called that. But like our performance yesterday he has to live with that.
If it wasn't so serious, it'd be a jokeNeither the ref or linesman could have seen a slight deflection from where they were at the time if there was one, they made the decision on the Reading players reaction.
Another good analysisGood report but too easy to blame the ref. As for the disallowed goal, he touched it and didn’t need to as it was going in any way. Prem ref and linesmen used to VAR, hence the lack of a flag. Following the goal the linesman didn’t run back to the middle but just stood and you could see him telling the ref if their guy in front of goal touched it he was offside Ref saw he did and gave the offside, then the lino raised his flag to confirm the offside. I thought the ref had a poor game but if Stroud had worked as well with his linesman v Stoke, Bradshaw goal would have stood as their guy headed it towards his own goal.
We were lethargic throughout, wrong team, wrong tactics and wrong subs - we are so easy to play against.
Man unmarked at the back post for their goal from a rraining ground move having watched how poorly Malone (how does he start every week?) and Murray play together and swarms of giant defenders around Afobe for the long ball from cooper as though he was Morison- not only predictable but plan A followed by Plan A.
If Rowett can’t do better than this we are going nowhere.
Yep that lino was atrocious, even Rowett was having a go at himVery disappointing game and our performance was potentially. However whilst we didn't deserve to win then nor did Reading. We're helped by a shocking refereeing performance and to me we scored a perfectly good goal. I cannot see how Afobe could gave got a touch. Mr Chris.Kavanagh was poor and I asked myself if it was deliberate. Frankly I put him on par with Kevin Friend and as to the Kitchener Stand lino he should go to Specsavers.
Apparently the ref said he was offside for the original ball in.Afobe,s goal which was disallowed came off his knee,presumably for offside ,looked a good goal to me
Ouch!The bottom line is that it was a piss poor performance against a team who were no great shakes themselves, but who could have - and should have - scored, at least, two more.
No amount of blaming the ref and linos can disguise that.
I wasn't having a dig at GR. Maybe he doesn't know his best team, maybe he sets us up wrongly, however, he can't legislate for more than half his team giving a good impersonation of individuals who have never seen a football before.Ouch!
they say the truth hurts. G.R. Must be in the queue at A + E.
