I can totally believe this.

Now I'm off to play with the fairies in my garden.

Unless they release the recording I do not believe it.

It was a clear case to prove UEFA were wrong for not adopting goal line technology, but apparently not. 3rd instance this week in the Champions League the other 2 being very close decisions to award the goals, and could have gone either way. Farce.

This.

they're trying to cover their arses. Trying to give the illusion of fairness.

Cheating tossers.

Correct, it's as clear as fucking day. They must think we're all fucking idiots.

They do think we are idiots, but compared to the fools at Uefa and the incompetents they put in charge of flag waving we are a match for Einstein.

These officials or shall we call them uefa's agents will nail us further down the line guaranteed. We should ask to here these 'tapes' .

Martin Demichelis has been awarded Manchester City's first goal in their win over Borussia Monchengladbach.

The goal was initially put down as a Andreas Christensen own goal after he deflected in Nicolas Otamendi's effort, a rebound after Demichelis' initial shot was hacked out by a defender.

But UEFA representatives have since listened to a recording of the communication between match referee Clement Turpin and an additional assistant official, and the goal is now a first of the season for Demichelis.


A UEFA statement read: "The referee immediately reported that the goal should have been awarded to Martin Demichelis for his initial attempt on goal - and that the additional assistant referee had clearly indicated the ball had crossed the line after that shot.

"As it was too late to correct the identity of the scorer at that time, the audio recordings were reviewed this morning and confirmed the statement of the referee regarding the attribution of the goal to Demichelis. UEFA hereby confirms that decision."

Demichelis' goal levelled the Champions League game at 1-1 before Sergio Aguero's late penalty won it for City.

Hmm...

Bullshit or what.

What a load of bollocks.

 

[coleridge]

What utter nonsense of the highest order. Are UEFA/FIFA/EPL now going to reconsider every claim for a goal?

 

[Ray78]

Baffling.

 

[SiMCFC]

Absolute horseshit. Why did the ref not blow the whistle if he was so sure as it took a wild clearence and shot for him to give it. Cheating backtracking bastards trying to save face.

I don't understand what they are trying to say, it reads like they both knew it had crossed the line but allowed the game to go one? How very confusing
