Unbelievable!
My flabber is well and truly gasted.
I hadn't seen this before but I am at a loss to understand just how this goal was a) allowed to stand and b) that the referee agreed that it was ok BEFORE the game and BEFORE he witnessed the circumstances.
FA Cup: Shrewsbury v Man Utd: Should Mata's free-kick have stood?

W T F ?
Surely his response ought to have been "well we will see what happens and where the players stand if such an opportunity occurs but I cannot pre-judge whether they would be considered as offside BEFORE the match starts"...or at least before the free kick is taken.
Instead it appears that the rags checked with the referee, he gave them the all clear and once he's done that then he is never going to disallow the goal.
How can they not be considered as offside when they are in between the keeper and the ball?
Oh and note how there appears to be zero mention of this from the commentator (although the clip is short it is so obvious that for it not to get any mention as soon as the replays is shown is weird).

We all feel that the rags have had more than their share of favourable decisions over the to years but this takes to cake.
:doh!: :doh!: :doh!:
