Holt's Disallowed Goal

[William Henry Foulkes]

It's towards the end of this interview.

It was a long way away, and I wasn't sure about it at the time, but looking at the video the keeper never really has control of it, Holt has a prod and a poke, the keeper throws it back (Turner) and Holt puts it in.

Not sure what the Laws say - and I know keepers are sometimes a special case -, but if this had been two outfield players contesting possession I can't see that their was a foul.

Btw - judging from the thickness of the accent I reckon he's the most Scottish player we've got.

Well considering he literally kicks it out of the two handed grip that the keeper has on it I'd have to say it was rightly disallowed.

Really? That's not the way I see it. He has a nibble when the keeper might have it - but if you can get a high-res screenshot of him challenging for the ball when the keeper has it in both hands (and isn't just lying on top of it like a petulant child) then I'd be keen to see it. After this half-hearted prod it seems to roll under the keeper who then he chucks it behind him unchallenged, and Holt puts it in. Goal!

I've gone 0.5 speed, 720p, full screen on this one (bc I've got nothing better to do) and I reckon at trial with a decent lawyer we'd get it.

UTB

Was rightly disallowed in my opinion.

They challenge for the ball together but the 'keeper doesnt lose the ball from Holt's challange, he mishandles it himself a second later. Similar to Turner at the weekend. Goal in my opinion.

Certain goal then.

If I remember rightly the laws refer to the ball being in the "full control" of the keeper. I'm not convinced in this case he ever had it under his full control.

Mind you, I think it was more of a foul than the slight tug on Turner long before the ball arrived which saved us on Saturday, so I don't think we can complain overall.

 

[Silent Blade]

Certain goal then.

Ha ha. Very good!

 

[mattbianco1]

Definitely going to be disallowed that.

Turner was lucky vs Scunthorpe though

 

[Balham]

The "ball in two hands" is a misnomer; the keeper is considered to have the ball under his control if it's between one hand and the pitch or post (and, incidentally, when he's in the action of kicking from the hands). Holt's "goal" was definitely rightfully disallowed, even if the keeper is an ex-pig.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Yep, clearly a foul. Don't know how you could see it any other way.

From the far end of the pitch it looked like a foul. And I couldn't see a thing. Should be a ref.
