17.1.10

Aston Villa Vs West Ham | Carew goal ruled offside


Description of incident: Downing danced in from the left wing, taking the ball past two West Ham defenders before hitting a rasping shot from outside the area. Green couldn't keep hold of the shot and Carew raced in to poke the fumbled ball into the net...only for the goal to be ruled out for offside.

Date of Game: Sunday 17th January 2010

Home Team: Aston Villa | Away Team: West Ham

Referee: Mike Jones | Linesman: Scott Ledger & Stephen Child

Decision Type: Offside | Verdict: | Decision Difficulty: 1/5

Affect on Result: N/A | Winner: West Ham | Loser: Aston Villa

Players Involved: John Carew, Stewart Downing (Aston Villa) & Robert Green (West Ham)

Summary: This was a straight forward offside decision. That does not always mean referees will get them right but fortunately for West Ham, on this occasion they did as Carew was a good yard offside when Downing hit his shot.

Cheers,
WB
