Demichelis Awarded Equaliser

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.
 
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.

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

The main leagues and FIFA use goal line technology - UEFA don't as it partly negates the 6 officials experiment, hence the back track.
 
Very strange, but it could be true it all happens pretty quick...When those kind of goals happen there's always a bit of a delay and the ref is probably watching the ongoing play until he hears.

There is a chance that they cocked up and now have the option to correct it, but what it is not is them not allowing it because it was City and now trying to cover it up.

I think we got as many decisions for us as against and got one in the first game too.

I think it's a shame as it was a good volley in that situation to keep it hard and low
 
They in no way, shape or form indicated that the ball had crossed the line.

Just look at the official for Ospina's own goal and how he reacts and indicates the goal compared to the cunts at our match.
 
Face it, It a UEFA job creation scheme- however, they forgot to supply the Guide Dog for the 6th official,

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

The ref was waiting to see if we got more of an advantage from not getting the goal and playing on. It's just like playing the advantage on a foul, really, except for the lying, cheating, corrupt UEFA part.
