GOAL ON THE GREEZY GRIMY GOPHERS
Challenge for offsides.
This one likely coming off the board
Under review for offsides
Idk about that being conclusive either way
How can you reverse something that happened two minutes ago?
they're going to wave that one off. bummer.
Should have stopped it when it happened and not do this shit
And, the blue line camera likely shows it
Was offsides, no goal. FUCK!
I think these challenges for offsides are bullshit. Too much time elapses between the offsides and the stoppage of play. Too much effort wiped off. The football equivalent of wiping off 50 yards.
It also just eliminates entire minutes from the game. Do they put time back on the clock?
I think they put the time back on. Bleed would know.
I just went back and checked. They do not put time back.
It was 33 seconds of game lost, FWIW.
