Because goalkeepers are bonkers! plus, thats how they are taught to attack the ball when they are looking to catch/punch crosses.
I remember when we signed Kasper and we was all amazed how far he could kick the ball and quite alot of us thought he would score 1 day. And now he has
No more dangerous than the panel awarding a goal to a player that was blatantly offside after the referee insisted he hadn't touched it.
With goal line technology in the premier league would this have been reviewed? My thought is probably not as a goal was scored. Does anyone know the rules for using goal line technology?
Goalline technology is automatically used when the ball goes within the vicinity of the goal line. The refs watch bleeps and flashes if it goes over the line I cant see the football league getting goalline technology anytime soon as its too expensive the implement at smaller grounds
They have used goal-line technology to award a goal in similar circumstances (the ball bouncing just over the line, then another player stuck it in- the goal was awarded to the first player) but I can't quite remember when it was. They're a right bunch of killjoys to not give it to Kasper, what would be the harm? Plus now I have to go back to my 'I've never seen a goalkeeper score' line. Can't quite believe Chris Wood wasn't willing to let Kasper have it!
Quite alot of the media are still running with Kasper as the goalscorer. Im surprised Wood openly tried to claim it. As it was the keeper I would have tried to get him to take the credit
In that case, the panel may be showing they disagree with the ref's decision, but don't have the power to override him (and rightly so - changing results after am match would make for a very different sport). In the Leicester case, imagine Wood hadn't tap the ball in. The goal would never have been given, therefore there would be no goal for the panel to award to Kasper. Therefore to give Kasper the goal would be to say a goal that the ref didn't give now stands. It may not have influenced the result, but other clubs could point to it as an example where the panel has overridden the ref and ask for the same. Kasper was robbed by bad officiating. It's a shame, but as FF keeps pointing out, thank goodness Wood turned it in.
I just meant if it's a "dubious goal" and one player was onside whilst the other was stood 5-10 yards offside they should just leave it as being awarded to the onside player without even sending it to the panel. Yes, I think the 2nd game at our place. It was midweek so I couldn't make it, I was gutted at missing that one of all the games to miss I think when we got promoted they said was about £1M to install and run the system for a season. Might even have been £2M, but I don't know how much of that is the installation and how much is the operating costs. Presumably setting it up in the first place takes ages and is a big chunk of the cost, and if we stay up for a second season we wouldn't go through that again so we might find out in the summer.
Because I think they want to ensure that the player who actually scored gets the goal - even if he was offside!
The ref told Stringer after the match he didn't give Kasper's header as a goal. To award Kasper the goal would be to change the ref's decision, so it was never going to happen. I think we all agree that the ref got it wrong though.
Your right his watch prob would have buzzed. Dont think all the Champ teams could afford the tech for it though.
Anyone know what happens when teams are relegated. Is the goal line technology switched off, or are refs allocated the 'watch'. Presume it will be switched off as it is recognised by the Prem only?
As far as I know it would be removed from their ground and taken to one of the promoted sides because the system is provided to the PL rather than to the clubs. The rules also say that technology can only be used in a game if all games at that level have the technology enabled, so that all games in a competition are run to the same rules. Imagine you and Burnley are both playing away on the last day of the season of the title. You both have a shot that comes down off the bar, bounces behind the line, then comes back in play without the officials realising. Can you imagine the complaints if Burnley overtook you and won the league because Derby had the system for their game and the ref was told but Yeovil didn't have it so your ref couldn't be told? (I just picked opponents at random so don't correct me) For the same reason we haven't been allowed to use ours in the FA Cup. Up to this point a game could be held on any entrants ground so unless all however many hundred teams entered the first qualifying round had it we couldn't. That should change for the semi-finals though as Wembley is a designated stadium for it and has tech fitted, so who ever got to the semis would be playing at Wembley there's never been a chance it would see the games reffed to different rules.
