No it wasn't. It would have counted. When the camera picked up the linesman with his flag up, he was simple stating it was a goal kick. No offside was given. It did cost us the match. It's not even the fact he's so poor that annoys me about Cisse. It's has s***ty, moany, stroppy, lazy attitude. But as someone has said - it's too late to get rid in this window.
