Aguero's penalty

[Matty]

Re: Agueros penalty

No. The shot was on target as it was saved by Howard onto the post.

How thick do you have to be not to understand that?

You best contact the MCFC official site then as they also seem to think its an own goal

All the media outlets have said that.

Regardless of whether you think it's a goal.

It's simply not possible to think Aguero's shot was off-target.

It's highly accurate to say that someone is thick, very thick, to think that the shot was off-target, when it's clear that it wasn't.

Would the ball have gone in the net if it had missed Howard's head/shoulder completely?

No, it would have come out somewhere in the middle of the 6 yard box.

So how on Earth can it be an Aguero goal? Without the Howard touch the ball would not have gone in the net. His initial touch, the save, turned the ball off target (it hit the post), his second touch (the head/shoulder) turned the ball, destined not to cross the line, over the line. It's an own goal.

As for the Premier League website being run by the media, well obviously the Premier League employ tech savy people to update their website, but it is the Premier League themselves that are the owners of, and the compilers of, all statistical data for the Premier League. The people who run the website won't have decided, arbitrarily, to make it an own goal, they will have been instructed, by the Premier League themselves, that the third goal was an own goals scored by Tim Howard. This decision may, or may not, be later overturned by the Premier Leagues own dubious goals panel, but I seriously doubt it as it's clear that after the initial save the only reason the ball ended up in the net was due to a deflection off Tim Howard's body.

You can't just say that you're right and it's only down to the media that this has been classed as an own goal. You seem to be pretty much the only person who believes it's Aguero's goal.

When does this dubious goals panel convene?

When does this dubious goals panel convene?

At irregular intervals throughout the season. I think they wait for their to be enough "dubious goals" for it to be worth their time.

You argued something different to what I was replied to someone.

Someone said that the shot was off-target. It wasn't. As if howard hadn't saved it, it would have gone into the net.

I'm not really fussed whether in these situations it goes down as an own goal or is awarded to the striker. It makes no difference to me.

I simply stated clearly, that it categorically will be classed as Aguero's goal by the dubious goals panel. Guaranteed.

Whether I think that it should is irrelelvant, nor am I bothered either way.<br /><br />-- Wed Oct 09, 2013 10:09 pm --<br /><br />Oh and an aside. FWIW, PremierLeague use Opta for data. And majority of media outlets use PressAssociation or AP.

Interesting On this day feature on Premier League website:

If you watch the video of the "own goal" certainly shows how the attitudes have changed over the years. Though, there are subtle differences.

Re: Agueros penalty

It hit the post that means the shot was off target it then hit Howard to cross the line it's an O.G.

No. The shot was on target as it was saved by Howard onto the post.

It used to be classed as a goalscorers goal until the whole review board said if the last touch was by an opposition player/keeper changed the direction of the ball towards the goal direction.
