Dagenham aggrieved by 'goal' that wasn't

[clippedgull]

Can anyone at the game back this up?


Argus:

Dagenham boss John Still claimed Bas Savage put the ball into the net against his old club last night.

Daggers later said that television replays suggested the ball hit the net and bounced out.

'All our boys thought it was a goal for Bas, they say it went in and came out' said Still

Bas didn't think so though did he?

I was standing on the terracing almost parallel to the goal line, and no, the ball did not cross the line.

They must have seen an optical illusion by claiming the ball hit the net and bounced out.

Scott Minto on Sky said that Bas was lying down laughing about it for about 30 seconds - I don't think he would have been doing that if he thought it had gone in.

From the terrace I would say no, however watching SSN this morning the ball seems to hit the back of the net and then come back out. The net was possibly too tight which meant rather than the ball nestling in it, the ball came straight back out, similar to a ball hitting the bar.

I've taped it, and watched it back again and again, and I'm CERTAIN this is the case. It looks like Painter carries on into the net after clearing the first one, and his weight streches the net really tight.

Incredible stuff.

Unless the net was hanging down vertically how could it have hit it and come out again? Or is Baz is that good a player that he put reverse spin on the ball

None whatsoever, as that is miles beyond my minimal technological skills. You're welcome to pop round and watch it though.

Just seen a slo-mo on SSN definitely hit the bar. No goal.

I was certain at the time it had hit the net and bounced out. Not seen it since though...

Watched it live and on slow mo afterwards, the ball definately hits the bar, 100% did not go in.

Is the correct answer. First viewing it looked like it hit the net. Slow motion, it clearly hits the bar. The net bulging is a combination of painter falling into it and the power of the ball smashing the bar.

it hit the bar! it went *ping* and everything! I was 4th row directly behind the goal there is no way it went in.

If a ball hit a net, no matter HOW taut the net is strung - it will be cushioned enough to show a goal has been scored.

It would have to be the equivalent of a huge tightly-strung tennis racket to even resemble slightly hitting a solid object.

Warnock had those goals not given for palace , and I can see how a solid strut could appear to have the effect of hitting the post, but no way a net having that effect under any circumstances.

They (fans/players) didn't seem v bothered at the time. Probably because, the way we were playing, they thought they'd get loads more chances.

Three of us directly to the side of the goal all thought it had gone in at the time. Haven't seen the replay yet.
