Did you notice on Sky that they said that Brighton were joint top! Sorry if we're second because of an alphabet, how can they be joint first when they have a poorer goal difference. Rant over.
Just watched the highlights on Saints Player and the commentator on there said that Chopras shot which we all thought hit the woodwork before rebounding and leading to their first goal, actually hit the stantion behind the goal before coming back into play, but it wasn't noticed at the time, even by Saints players. How different would the game have been if it had been disallowed? Not that it matters but it may have been crucial, games can be won or lost with decisions like that.
Just like the Bristol City v Crystal Palace game a few years back - with the Freddie Sears goal that wasn't given despite it clearly going in! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_1/8194875.stm
I've watched that vid countless times and didn't notice this untill reading your post. It clearly goes out as you say. And yes imagine how different the game could of been! Good spot!
Well spotted..! I've since watched the video and the ball does seem to take too much time to bounce off the bar, so it must have travelled the extra distance. However, I can't tell precisely whether it actually goes in or gets around the outside of the post. The framework of the goals at Ipswich look as if they are of the supported-by-cable type, rather than the older solid metal frames of a few years back, which gave rise to many disallowed goals. So logic suggests Chopra missed by a whisker. Video technology please..!
It definitely hits the bar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ64a7VjoqA. The only thing letting you down here IS the video technology!
You're right. From there it doesn't look as if it hit the stanchion. But then the video is of shaky quality. I notice that someone has commented, on Youtube, that Chpora's shot hit the stanchion.
I've always thought it to be pronounced stanchun - with the the chun pronounced like the sion in mansion
Looked it up..yes, I am that sad. In UK, it's pronounced starnshun (never heard anyone say it that way). In America, it's stanshun.
