The Stones Goal

[MCFC1993]

Separate from any analysis of the match and to get ahead of any 'it wasn't a goal' nonsense.

I've got to add a thread after the Micah Richards and Daniel Sturridge nonsense. It's a goal isn't it?

What Bernardo does before Stones heads the ball is irrelevant because he's onside when the corner is taken.

When Stones heads it he's completely ducked out of the way, nowhere near interfering with Sa. Obvious goal.

Regarding the officials, the linesman is right to stick his flag up from his angle, I think the referee should have overruled him on field, people are saying he did? But I'm not sure he actually did. Shouldn't need the monitor but well done to him and VAR for getting the right decision.

I'll add a poll but surely it's unanimous?

 

[MCFC1993]

Confirmed from the VAR ITK. It was ruled out on the field (not that I noticed!) initially.

Don’t read x whatever you do full of clowns that don’t know the rules of the game and now that they have been corrected on the offside law they have resorted to saying it’s a foul on sa even though arsenal done the exact same thing to ederson

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Yes as we won 2-1.

Also, it wasn’t offside.

 

[Bournemouth Blue]

We conceded a goal recently where Eddie was clearly impeded, whilst there was no offside VAR didn’t intervene

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

Good analysis of the situation by the ESPN lad, Sly have zero interest in that type of logical, factual analysis. Also, if you’re relying on Sturridge and Micah for any sense at all then you’re fucked.

I didn’t realize the infield decision was no goal. I thought at the time they’d sent him over to the monitor to disallow it.

 

[Blue Mist]

Let me just check. Yep the bbc, Telegraph and Guardian all show 1-2. So it was a goal.

I didn’t realize the infield decision was no goal. I thought at the time they’d sent him over to the monitor to disallow it.

So did I, partly because I was going mental, I had Aguero v Spurs in the Champions League flashbacks.

Hadn't realised the linesman had stuck his flag up.

 

[Chak19]

It's a perfectly good goal.

[Stiff Little Wingers]

And nor was there an comments by the imbeciles over a foul

 

[SkyBlueFlux]

Richards and Sturridge sounded like fucking idiots - clearly didn't know what they were even giving their opinion on, as they were describing an offence that wasn't even part of the decision.

You know it was a perfectly good goal because even Reddit agrees and they absolutely despise us on there.

Im not a fan of players obstructing keepers, but it happens in almost every game. Gabriel’s goal against us should have been disallowed also. So fuck it x

Nice one.That clears it up..Send it to S&A the pair of pillocks....I don't swear..

I struggle to see how there is any obstruction at all here. Sá has a fuckton of space, he's not exactly surrounded by players, he could choose to do literally anything, but decides to push Bernardo in the back who is literally just stood still which he is perfectly entitled to do.

If anything it's a foul on Bernardo.

No issue with the goal. Anyways, wasn't Foden last player anyway when Stones headed it?

 

[dublinblue12]

I think it was right decision and well done to ref. Either way, if we win the league by 1 point it will make a great t-shirt with the rodri 'hand ball' on back and just for fun stick the goal line technology view of stones clearence off the line a few seasons back as well

Is the correct answer .
