Bad as Spurs?

Absolute sham of an offside call that. I think linesmanship is complete guesswork most of the time.

 

[Tommy Chong]

That was onside for Crystal Palace... Once again City get all the decisions at the Etihad...

All of the time, IMO. On this one, it might have been that with the lino looking to the centre of the pitch, he didn't see the City player mere feet away to his left.

how the hell to you get to the prem as a linesman and miss that?

Well of course it is.

Having to watch the ball, and players who are often moving at speed in differing directions all at the same time means its impossible for linesman to actually judge a lot of decisions accuratly.

Thus they guess but that doesn't stop people whinging and calling them crap after they've watched numerous slow mo replays and the linesman guessed wrong.

I don't really blame the linesman tbh, as you say it is a hard job in real time. Just find it a bit daft that given the technology we don't have a 4th official watching a monitor who can quickly watch a replay and correct such an obviously wrong call that can make such an impact on a game.
