Was it a goal?

[Dietspam 733]

Personally...I don't think it was all over. We shouldn't have needed to rely on that though. Novo, wee man. I don't know whether to kiss you for scoring the goal, or kick you in the arse for missing the other 2.

Chin up lads. We can bring it home!

[alstone 374]

i dont think it was no

[blueballss 3,039]

yes

[Rennie 0]

on the replay i could see the whole ball by the post and the post is on the line so i think yes

[jamiethebutcher 0]

If any of the ball was still above the white line, it would be less than a cm.

GOAL.

[martin93 136]

Not imo,the angle side on doesen't show the whole ball over the line,the post covers part of the ball,and no-one on here would say it was a goal if it was the tims.

REally? I thought Setanta's (asuming this is the show you were watching) camera was at an angle and not on the line. It's one of those ones though. Could have went either way i think.

Maybe yes maybe no but it was hard one to call for the officials.

[mark_ni 12]

i think more of the ball was over that that "goal" in the game between liverpool and chelsea a few years ago and that was given. Its hard to tell with the post in the way so i suppose we cant complain too much, we had other chances we should have burried.

[craigeee 60]

Yes, but I can understand why it wasn't given. Too close to call with the naked eye and another reason why goal line technology NEEDS to be brought in.

I would. I don't care who it was for, that was over the line imo. But I don't actually begrudge the decision as how the fuck would the linesman have been able to know for sure.

And oddly, I still wouldn't use replays either because even in this thread us all having watched it repeatedly there's disagreement among us.

So how would video evidence help?

you could see the net, both sides of the ball.

100% goal

cheating t****** linesman!

[ForeverBlue_Since91 2,895]

It was a fucking goal.the ones who said it wasn't what the fuck were yous watching??

I wouldn't use video evidence,i don't think we should concentrate on that decision and give the players an excuse to hide,it's their fault and no-one elses.

Richard Gough "If the linesman is not 100% sure the ball crossed the line then he cannot give it. We've watched replays and are still not 100% sure, so we can't say it's over, so it's not a goal"

[laldo 4]

we could go on about this all week but at the end of the day we had plenty of chances to finish that game and we blew it

If you had camera's actually in the goalpost's then you'd tell no problem.

[delparlane 6,010]

It was, but I don't think we deserved to win anyway. Everything to play for, and yet again they sleep through the first 45 minutes. SCOOBIED.

[bluenoz 32,607]

To me, its inconclusive so that means its not a goal I'm afraid.

[BoltonLoyal 2]

It was a goal. but i can understand the liner not giving it if he wasn't 100% sure.

We shouldn't even be debating this tho, Novo should have scored at least 3 tonight IMO.

[Coopermania 1]

Doesnt matter now.

[CooperSF 5,792]

Clear goal

[awmbear 0]

I think it was too difficult to tell but we should have won the game with our earlier chances.

[Youllneverwinaway 0]

Doesnt matter now.

It wasnt the linesman who cost us the points tonight. It was Smithafuckinsaurus as usual.

[BritishBear 34]

Doesn't matter, but I think it was.

Only playing for 1 half and this managers constant defensive lineups cost us the 3 points.
