DF, can you repost that last picture from LB over here?

[Dead Fingers]

This one panicfc?

[panicfc]

Yes. That's the one. Good for discussion.

That pic isn't useful, since it doesn't show the moment when Achenbach played the cross ball.

I've seen the whole scene on Franken.TV and am sure that it wasn't offside.

I'm all for you LB, but that yellow line you drew is definitely not parallel to the other lines in the pic. Were you trying to follow the grain in the grass?

Resolution suck, but yes it is parallel....as close as I could get in time allotted. But still, he is no where NEAR close to onsides. He was previously in an onside position, never reset himself back onside, was back in an offside position when the play was played forward. So, in essence, he broke the offside rule in three ways:

1. Coming from an offside position to play a ball
2. Never having set himself BACK onside
3. Offside at the time the ball was played to him

Either way you slice it he was off.

But, 1860 played so bad that not sure it would have made much difference. But would have liked to see the game result had this goal not stood and Thorandt not been Y/R for no reason.

Saw it again. Yeah, offside.

Sadly, calls like that are missed all the time.

Well, if you like rumors here's a good one:

A few years a go a promising defender named Michael Kokocinski left 1860 for Bayern. He has played for the RL team only with no call ups. He is 23 and unhappy at Bayer....or so goes the rumors.

Eberlien's contract is up next season and he has not gotten any direct call ups from Kurz this season since returning from injury. It is presumed that Kurz is leaving him in the II's to get his confidence back up and avoid any unreasonable expectations. Also it is suspected that 1860 will try to sign him to a long-term contract and make him the centerpiece of the defense.

The RUMOR is that 1860 and Bayern will work a deal whereby Kokocinski comes back to 1860 for future consideration of Eberlein going to Bayern.

Really hope this does not come to fruition.
