If Morgan’s header had con in that goal would not have been disallowed for Webber standing (static) in an otherwise offside position. Once the Watford ‘keeper played the ball this brought Webber on-side as he was now behind the ball when last played & the last player was an opponent, either of which events change his status. He is then thus free to become active, which he did.

And if you want a subjective rather than objective argument – if Webber ’should’ (i.e. what pundits think is ‘right’ rather than what the laws of football say) have been given offside and wasn’t it just makes up for the disallowed late goal on Saturday against WHU which ’should’ have been allowed as no foul was commited by Kozluk on the ‘keeper’. Laws o fthe game leave this to the ref’s decision…

cake? eat it? keep it? I don’t have to choose!
