Official Hawkeye reason given

[JohnDenver]

So Hawkeye is fallible. Fair enough, it was never going to be 100%.

But VAR? NGE.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Remember him,he would have seen the ball had crossed the line.

 

[Booker4]

The Guardian report says:

"United players celebrated what they believed to be an obvious goal. But the referee, Michael Oliver, waved play on, dismissing protests by pointing to his watch to indicate it had not buzzed to confirm all of the ball had crossed the line. Moments later the referee blew for an infringement against Villa – and that brought an end to the passage of play, which is why, according to the Premier League, the decision was not allowed to be referred to VAR"

I don't understand why that means the decision was not referred to VAR?

Its ridiculous that VAR couldn't be consulted with and whatever they say VAR is, and has proven to be unreliable and not full proof. Therefore bin it off and lets just keep goal line technology - oh hang on a minute!?

All the ball has to cross the line.
Quick pass this to the ref to carry off at the end of the game

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

So every goal going forward it will be double checked on VAR, because the refs now know it’s not infallible, but just not for us. If the ref had known this he would have checked it.
Whatever way they cut it, it’s a fucking disgrace but it’ll be forgotten about because it’s not one of the traditional top 6.

 

[Iffy Onuora's Shiny Head]

Let's be honest, no one would be talking about it if the pragmatic thing had been done and been checked by VAR where they rectify the "clear and obvious" error.

But they will be sticking like robots to the absolute rules (like they did for fleck vs City) and they will no doubt come out and say "VAR is legislated to be used for goal line decisions".

Its ruining the game because some clown I charge doesnt have the gumption to see the bigger picture which any reasonable football fan would agree with.

Why does this image haunt me.
Remind me?

 

[west_yorks_blade]

Admittance that the ball went over the line, so hurry up and award the goal and 3 points then.

Well exactly. Why not?

 

[originaltrueblade]

They should award the points to us and over turn what is certainly a farce

 

[metalblade]

So if all was well and working why are the cunts apologising to the PL, SUFC and anyone else affected by it, it's a load of bullshit.

 

[Bladesman]

The ref could have given it at half time.

 

[eccoblade]

Bollocks VAR should have overturned it

 

[Antonb]

VAR, thats what im angry about. They should have intervened. And the whole bloody world knows that

 

[TJ blade]

So every goal going forward it will be double checked on VAR, because the refs now know it’s not infallible, but just not for us. If the ref had known this he would have checked it.

The premier League is fucking corrupt end of!!

 

[VictoryBlade]

Lets all complain to the FA then

 

[dc_blade]

If that's true how did they alert the ref it was a goal at HT?

This. If the cameras were blocked how did the ref get a notification at half time? Something stinks here.

 

[varkanoid]

Let's face it we were not only playing villa but the biased ref, VAR, hawkeye and Sky commentary. No way we're we going to win. VAR needs to be binned it was brought in to remove mistakes, it failed.

Why didn't ref review it at half time?? Its a goal pure and simple.

 

[VictoryBlade]

Yes of course they cant see the order changed with us bullish blades!

its a shame we don’t have any examples were they spent 10 mins going back over play until they could find a toe nail offside to rule a goal off side

bet that’s not happened

 

[SwissBlade]

Do we get 2 points added because they fucked it up? No? Well Hawkeye can fuck the fuck off then

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Why does this image haunt me.
Remind me?

He was the Ref at Middlesboro,when he spotted some part of JOC's anatomy was offside,like a knats bollock,goal cancelled...........i think thats reyt,but mi heads buzzin ATM.

So your photo clearly shows the ball over the line with no clear obstruction to the camera that took that particular photo .......... but the 7 official Hawkeye cameras couldn’t for the first time in 9,000 matches.

You just couldn’t make it up ?!

 

[Digs blade]

Mystified why the goal wasnt given in retrospect at half time when Oliver remembered to turn his watch off snooze

 

[Booker4]

I'm amazed Hawk-eye hasn't failed more if they're giving the reason that a goal keeper, a defender and the goal post got in the way, who'd have thought that they'd be a goal keeper in his goal, a defender nearby and the goal post! Makes me think we need a ref stood just behind the goal if its going to fail as badly as that. Or, as others have said, it just wasn't on and this is the excuse. Very odd.

 

[Guesty]

To go all Malcolm Tucker again, your apology is worth fuck all, you mimsy bastard quisling leak FUCK!

 

['Doc' Pace my hero]

If luck evens itself out over a season,then our last nine games should provide us with a bucket load.

 

[BettingBlade]

Funny how we can rule goals out for being gnats chuff offside but when the ball is about 4 mile over the line, they can’t intervene?

fuck right off.

surely we have grounds to get that game replayed?

 

[Bladesman]

A good job for the PL no one was watching this mistake.

 

[ForgeBlade]

I'll take a twitter ban for this. Fuck it.

 

[YouFUMS]

So Hawkeye view was obscured, VAR didn't question it, and Michael Oliver wasn't made aware at the time that Hawkeye couldn't judge it?
You could tell with the reaction of both teams that it was a goal. Oliver should have asked to see the pictures. You can bet your life they wouldn't let this happen to man u, man city, spurs et al.
