The worst referee we've had in 21 home league games by some distance. Gave us offside in our own half and then failed to book a Brentford player for chucking the ball away right in front of him. At least his dreadful performance wound up the crowd which seem to gee up the team.
The offside rule changed in the summer. The free kick is given where the offside player receives the ball not where he was when the ball was kicked to him. Zohore was offside in their half but ran back into our half to receive the ball.
I agree he was poor though. He booked Whitts first half when many other challenges were worse and allowed their right back to persistently foul throughout the match

When an offside offence occurs, the referee awards an indirect free kick from the position of the offending player when the ball was last played to him by one of his own team mates.
Last played to him surely means when he was in an offsidepositii. in the opponents half. I can never remember seeing a free kick being given for offside in your own half????

I dont think he gave a free kick for offside. I think he gave it for a foul because he didn't seem to look at the linesman but he was still very poor.
It wont be the last time either
