       They deserve one. Absolutely scandalous decision, as quoted per
       Gary Oniell. Shambolic. Robinson and Harrington should be
       subjected to at least 1 week off completely. It shows a complete
       lack of understanding of football all around. Moyes says its
       dreadful, ONiell says its woeful, Fabianski says its wrong.
       Therefore it's a horrific call.

       That's not how it works though, is it? Standing in front of a
       keeper in an offside position like that has for as long as I can
       remember nearly always been called offside, which it also is by
       the letter of the law. I can't even phantom Howard Webb giving
       them anything close to an apology for this one. I do absolutely
       understand that Wolves are frustated, I would likely also be if
       I was in their situation, but we have to look at what the rule
       says and how it's been applied constantly for years, and
       therefore offside is absolutely the correct call in this
       situation

       Key fact here, Fabianskis view isn't being blocked by the
       offside player and the ball doesn't get played into an area
       within reach of the offside player. This decision has shattered
       Wolves hopes of a chance of a lifetime in Europe next year, and
       Webb must apologise and take action.

       He's right in front of him when the header is made, I don't see
       how you can say that he doesn't block his view. Sorry if I'm
       being harsh on you today, I feel like we might have quite
       different opinions on refereeing overall and that is obviously
       okay :)

       Baffling and for me a wrong decision, but when is O  Neil going
       to be punished for his comments. Week in Week out he shouts bile
       about referees!?

       I’m somewhere in the middle. I think there’s a case that the
       Wolves player is impacting Fabianski’s ability to see or get to
       the ball, but is it a clear and obvious error? Not for me - I’d
       expect to stick with whatever the onfield decision was, either
       goal given or offside.

       Clear and obvious error doesnt come into play here.
       If the onfield referee was happy that the wolves player wasnt
       impacting the west ham goalkeeper regardless of whether he could
       have saved it or not then he would not have reversed his
       decision.
       The decision is a subjective one, var can only say there is a
       player in an offside position that could be impacting the
       goalkeeper but it has to be the onfield referees final decision.
       Perhaps the onfield referee wasnt in a position to see the line
       of vision of the goalkeeper hence when reviewing he reversed his
       decision. Var did its job in this instance.
