HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Saw this on Twitter Doesn't look to me like all the ball has crossed the line If you look at how players place balls for corner kicks these days, 95% of the ball is outside the corner triangle and it is deemed okay, for me this photo shows not all of the ball is over the line, and in an case, the referee and linesman can only give a goal if they are 100% sure the ball has crossed the line, I can't see how anyone can say that ball has crossed the line, they'd be guessing Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

bradowl Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Looking at that picture all of the ball isn't over line so good decision by officials... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Didn't look over in the highlights and it looked like Akpan handballed it too. A great spot on the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway if it was a goal it's swings and roundabouts, these things level themselves out etc. Lee Chapman had one disallowed which was clearly 2 yards over the line against QPR in 1987 so it's karma for that one. I don't think karma takes 30 years in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Goal, but if it makes Coyle feel any better call it 2-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The officials didn't make any decision. The linesman was miles behind play and had no chance to see properly. They all looked at each other and carried on. Reason I know is because I looked at both straight away because from my seat in the Grandstand near the away end I could see it was clearly in.

jimbo10179 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 The ref and/or assistant have guessed, like the rest of us. They couldn't be sure 100% it had crossed the line. Conclusion refs need help with these sort of incidents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching it live my reaction was clearly in. Hence why I looked at the officials. Edited February 15, 2017 by mark77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anybody who was at the game and in line (ish) like mark77 and me and various others who have posted who doesnt think it was in? Except the linesman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I looked at the officials. thats why i said about the shadow, granted I wasnt there, but looking at pic I'm struggling to think which angle you would have to look at it to make it look over, never mind well over as several have said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMeerkat Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 Basically its as good an argument against goal line technology as you can get. Vice versa if it was at the other end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
