The former Easter Road road striker and Record Sport columnist reckons the three minutes taken to tell whether Martin Boyle was offside or not means the goal should have been given.
Suckered. Sickened. Screwed over. Three ways to describe Hibs semi final defeat to Aberdeen - a result that unfortunately is going to stick in the throat for Hibees for quite a while.
It was another horrible example of spontaneity being drained from the game by VAR. It was a wonderful touch and finish by Boyle. A really great goal. That’s what football is all about. People pay their money or turn on TV to see moments like that. I’d read that FIFA were trialling a concept that would see a player only being offside if every goalscoring part of his body was beyond the last defender - basically clear daylight. I’d back that 100 per cent. If it was that way now HIbs would be in the Viaplay Cup Final because if they’d got their noses in front they wouldn’t lose that game. Simple as that. It was a huge turning point and then to rub salt in the wounds they should have had a penalty too.
