Just watched the highlights & not sure how anybody can say that wasn’t over the line.
His standing foot is clearly “just” on the line with his other swung back ready to kick…
Thought it was over on the night and convinced now. Linesman made a poor decision.It doesn’t matter where his standing foot is – it’s where the pitch facing part of the ball is when he kicks it that matters & there’s no way that you can tell from that angle whether it is 100% over the line[/quote]
I was sat in the South Stand for this game TL & in real time I was sure I saw the ball cross the white line fully. All about opinions of course, but just glad we won as that decision would really have peeved me.[/quote]
I agree, but the only camera & viewing angle that would give 100% certainty as to whether it was overline is one from exactly where the assistant was stood & in their opinion it didn’t go over so I’d be inclined to agree that it didn’t – especially from having seen the footage[/quote]
Given the way the ball hit the post then bounced on the line, I reckon the most likely explanation is the assistant saw the trajectory of the ball ie bounce straight along the line and hit the line, then looked elsewhere and missed the spin that took it over the line.
These things even out over time. Remember the Shearer “goal” in 2005 that wasn’t given? I was further away from that one than Tuesday’s, but it looked over to me!
Ironic that we played in the first official club game in England with goal line technology, albeit they probably switched it off at De Gea’s end to save electricity :lol:

The camera never lies….usually :woohoo:
I have a photo on my phone of it bouncing on the line but I can’t get the damn thing up on here!!![/quote]
Just watched it yet again on mine…hits the post, runs along the line and crosses the line just before the defender clears it.
The defender’s right foot is on the line (his toes). He’s swinging his left foot back to kick the ball.
Put it on next week’s spot the ball and see where peeps think the ball is
Don’t get me wrong here…this was out stroke of luck…not getting the goal didn’t affect the winning result. Let’s hope we don’t miss automatic promo by 1 goal on GD :S
As I stated above I don’t think the Morsy shot went over the line and I had no way of telling if Grigg was offside from my seat in WS4. But I do feel that was an absolutely pitiful performance from the officials.What does the Oracle of WS4 think from his angle? If he logs in again soon!
By my watch he arrived 6.5 minutes after KO…timekeeping Griff :lol:

I have to admit that from my angle in the Springfield Stand I didn’t think it had crossed the line and the fact that it took so many attempts to get an angle on TV that showed it actually did means that it’s understandable why the officials didn’t give it. Having said that, it would have been difficult for them to get it right as they got almost everything wrong during the rest of the game.I know that there is a ref that posts on here sometimes and I’d love to hear his opinions on the officials. It started right from kick off when he asked Jacobs 3 times to make sure his big toenail wasn’t over the half way line before he deemed it ok to start the game. I honestly believe that the performance of the officials last night was as bad as any I’ve seen.
Obviously things can look different from different angles. Ultimately the ref/assistant between them didn’t give it and that’s all that counts sadly.
It was a stroke of luck for us, hopefully a sign of the season ahead, that the decision did not change the result.
Just to clarify, what I meant was it took me several attempts to stop the video clip on my phone at the exact point the ball was furthest over the line. The whole of the ball was clearly over on the angle from the 1 camera. We don’t have the luxury of multiple cameras anymore :(
Just watched the “goal” again on the Sky App thingy.
Took a few goes, but managed to stop the picture at the key moment. Ball 100% over the line from the camera angle.
I actually think this is a good omen for our season that we get the unlucky decision when it didnt affect the winning result. Last season that would have happened at 1-1 in a must win game or at 0-1 in a must not lose.
Not a classic was it? But the points are on the board.
The kind of game we couldn’t buy a win last season!
That referee was a bit of a case. Fannying around over where that free kick was taken shrugging his shoulders but let them take another 20 yards literally with a throw in in front of us in the Springfield.
Not seen the “highlights” yet but sure it should have been 2-0 at the end…where’s the Russian linesman (or should I say person tonight) when you need them?
Points in the bag, job done. Tough game Saturday, but we travel in expectation more than hope.
Up the Tics.
Good night and God bless :lol:
2-0.
Given our great early goal difference, even a draw takes us back to second :woohoo:
We really should have played it on the 2nd; Northampton were there for the taking whereas now they’re nicely in form. I hope this doesn’t backfire on us.
Looking good so far isn’t it? Hardly a disgrace losing at Shrewsbury the way they’ve started. Just saying to a mate yesterday though, hope this season doesn’t turn into a reverse of 2 years ago
With the greatest respect to jay and the club who I presume have asked him to ask this I find it farcical that they don’t know the full facts about it. For instance it’s not 1 person per rail seat when the seats are locked upright it’s 1.5 per space.
Wasn’t aware of that, I thought it was the same capacity as seating, 1 per “seat”.
I voted (very narrowly) against. If that’s correct info, I’m now strongly against. Been to games years ago where you couldn’t put your hand in your pocket without elbowing the person next to you so I’m out….
Celtic V Linfield always has the potential to kick off…
I’ve voted against, just.
A proper safe standing area surely is safer than standing in a seating area. But is it really the way forward for football to go back….
Funny how quiet it is when there’s nowt to moan at.
It’s great. Well done Tics, let’s hope there will be many more quiet Saturday nights.
Like you say Al, doesn’t the Malt/Ale/Wine taste good again tonight. Look forward to another decent drink when the youngsters win at Villa Park and next Saturday when we play the luckiest ever club in the history of English football.Sorry been out most of the day at a family event.
Yep, great win again and TOTL….. :woohoo:
Gutted I can’t attend next Saturday. Hols booked long before the fixs came out. Not in London before anyone asks :ohmy:
Railway shut through Bolton for 2 weeks due to electrification works.
Still running from Wigan to Manc via Atherton not the main route. Better to drive probably.
We’re 7/1 favourites for the title at the moment according to Oddschecker.
Today will be a good test of where we really are. Very good result at MK Dons but so important now to follow it up with another 3 points.
2-0…up the Tics :woohoo:
first 5 positives;
Winning 2-1
Josh Laurent’s debut goal and good all round performance
Donervan Daniels,finally getting some game time and looking quite solid
The performances of Colclough, Merrie, Thomas, Gilby and James
The state of the pitch [although why did they have to water the fooker]Now 5 Negatives;
The poor defending of set pieces [all night]
Giving away a scrappy goal
The queues at the tuck shop despite a gate of only 3,391 albeit all of um being in one stand.I can only think of 3. :cheer:
Shocking from the Latics (un)faithful. Glad we don’t get crowds like that on at the rugby. Not even in the lean years where it actually went up circa 2005.[/quote]
Nothing new here then, Latics win a game, chubsters talk crowds.
I see Bury FC have made the main event channel on sky sports, can’t find a super 8’s anywhere. There’s cricket, tennis, tiddlewinks and marbles being shown but no blobbies. :lol:[/quote]

I can think of more than two more negatives, but a win is a win, and with so many changes and debuts I don’t think it would be right to be too critical.
The major positive for me was seeing the depth we have.
Although it wasn’t a great overall performance, I think the majority that played tonight showed as individuals each one of them could probably slot into the first team without weakening it.[/quote]Positives – the price of ale hasn’t increased
– Cook doesn’t wear shortsNegatives – it rained
– Someone else sat in “my” seat :evil:
– Cook doesn’t wear a suitSeriously though, a win is a win. Accept that the whatsit cup isnt a priority but it could be a useful outlet for trying the fringe players. Good to see DD back…
Looking forward to Sunday :cheer:
