Well the Gordon Greer method of how to clear the ball is all the rage and has quickly hit the streets , id be devastated if that was chalked off for us , so goal , good point and well played Barnsey .

It was a goal, fact.
I wasn't sure at first, but the inclusion of the 'fact' to your sentence leaves me with no doubt! You're wasted in your current job - you'll go far as a pair of binoculars. You follow the dream!

Definitely not a goal. The nets interfere with the Sky cameras, much akin to an optical illusion.

Well yes I am aware of the match facts thanks. The question is in debate of the decision. Christ on a bike
Look at it from the CORRECT angle for these decisions - from the side or above. Wanna bet your life that the whole of the ball is over the line?

There's a chunk of the ball that's overlapped by the post. I've said on here one of my pet hates is people not getting this rule several times. Sky comms were woeful too not seeing that. If u do a refs course they'll show u a pic like bozzas first one then show u an in line shot - which proves no goal - as above

Voted for goal, though of course history will show that it wasn't.

Yes, I can see the god damn grass in between the ball and the line.
From the side or above is bull, as the cross bar makes it look like it isn't when in actual fact it is.
Speaking sense, but few, not even SKY shamefully, can see this.

The 2nd photo is the closest it got to crossing the line. Sky slowed it right down. I promise u I'd say the same if it was us scoring ( of course would be screaming for it in ground!!!) it's not a goal tho simple as that...

Wow. Just wow. I've lost IQ points reading that. You owe me some IQ points. Just pop them in the post, there's a good chap.

Glad others can see it. It's impossible for Lino to tell when it's that close though...

On the evidence of the first photo it looks like a definite goal. However, the side on shot shows the whole of the ball not crossing the line. So, on the evidence available it's a no goal for me.

You wouldn't be saying this if it was us, you are a hypocrite.
The ball clearly crossed the line. How can you lose IQ points by reading something?

You realise that makes no sense at all. I assure you that the only way to judge whether a ball is over the line is by looking at it from above or the side.

Goal but about time something went in our favour. Probably lost another player tonight.
Ward out for 4 weeks? Now need a left back on loan too.

Thankfully, i have the ability to be objective - i don't let my affiliation to something cloud my judgement. Plus, as we're not in that position there's no way i can be a hypocrite. Thanks for knowing my personality traits though
You've made a good point - before now i didn't know how i could lose IQ points by reading something. Thankfully you've proven to me that it is possible. Cheers!
