Goal or no goal? You decide...

[Invicta]

Not a goal

 

[briref]

halve of people have already made their mind up and will believe it was a goal end off discussion.
and I will probably get stick for defending officials.

but for those who are interested, the 4th official on the brighton v watford game spoke at the recent brighton ra meeting and was asked for his view on the incident.

In the days after the game when key match incidents are discussed and advise given, it was proven no goal had been scored and the decision was correct, and the assistant was hurt by the amount of stick received in the press over a very good call.

He was hurt? Rightly so, he got it wrong. It was a goal.

it was proven no goal had been scored and the decision was correct, .

THANK YOU.

Although, I do wonder, what was the proof in the end? Apart from the side on picture which clearly showed the whole ball hadn't crossed the line....

It's a goal.

Stop it. It's getting childish. You've been PROVEN wrong.

Stop it. It's getting childish. You've been PROVEN wrong.

Where's this famous proof then?

This - it's just another person saying it wasn't a goal without the PROOF.

On the Watford fans forum they concluded in the end that the officials probably made the right decision. Even with the benefits of slow motion, still frames and drawn diagrams it remains inconclusive and that is all the officials need to make the decision.

...I'm looking forward to this thread being bounced when we see a Premier League match where, from the main TV camera it looks like a clear goal, but then Hawk-Eye shows that it wasn't.

Lewis Holtby's attempt on goal yesterday:

Surely only a matter of time before Hawk-Eye comes to the Championship?
