1st Goal: He gets into his set-up. All good. But... then moves his feet again before the shot for no reason and is 'jogging' for the shot, so his reaction was slowed down as a result as he has to get back on his toes before diving. Maybe he wouldn't have got to it anyway (no other angles available yet) but it's a technical error regardless.
2nd Goal: He takes himself out of the game by coming off the rope (the imaginary rope that connects the ball to the centre of your goal) and ends up way out of position. I'd love to know his thinking here.
3rd 'Goal': No blame. Position good, on his toes, good line of sight (his hands move instantly). It's just all about reaction time from there, and imho no keeper gets to that one.
Good sweeping, good on crosses. But overall, not a great day I think.

What's everyone's thoughts on Dieng today?
My initial thoughts:

Surely for the second goal that was Seny's ball and Dickie took it away from him? Maybe Seny didn't shout?

Maybe, GloryHunter, quite possible.
But if so he surely would have favoured diving low to guard and collect the ball I'd have thought. "Use your advantage" is a goalie saying i.e. use your hands. Plus, he veers right (off his rope) from the very moment the two players enter the box - the players and the ball are veering to his left. I can't figure it.
By the way, for the avoidance of doubt, I think he's an excellent goalie. I'm just intrigued by this one.

That’s how I saw it. There was no need for him to touch the ball as he made an effort to head it so active hence offside
Well except...
Pretty sure that Pinner Paul has explained previously that being in an offside position is not in itself an offence. It's why (I think) that someone standing offside who then chases a forward pass doesn't get flagged until he actually touches the ball.
Same with the lead up to the Blackpool goal at LR, their fella is stood offside, he lets the ball run through his legs in the build up and thus was not deemed to be offside. I think we probably got away with one, but may have been unlucky not to have been awarded handball in the lead up to their first, and the foul on Dickie for their second.
Hey, just another day at the office for Keith Stroud.

Chasing a forward pass should be considered being active but we know it is not as I assume it is not thought to be an attempt to play the ball but just to follow it (trying to rationalise the current interpretation). However jumping to try to head the ball even if unsuccessfull cannot be anything but an attempt to play the ball hence offside all other things considered
