Hoffenheim v Bayer Leverkusen AMAZING scenes

[Ernest]

Leverkusen score to go 2-0 but the ball hit the side netting , hit the wall at the back and went in and the ref gave it, AMAZING scenes and now they are checking the net 5 minutes later and got a big hole in it.

So much for German efficiencies

Looking forward to the YouTube clip for that then haha!

 

[Ernest]

Ref now given Hoffenheim a penalty for a clean tackle outside the box to even things up and they missed it. Apparantly this clown is Germans top referee and wants to go the World Cup, doubt he will after this performance

 

[banjo]

Scheißen Schiedsrichter. I think that's right?

 

[Stu1]

Are you on acid or is this actually happening?

Looking forward to the YouTube clip for that then haha!

In fairness to the ref, if you were standing at a certain angle you could be fooled.

And he was!!

Yet the TV replay shows it quite clearly was the other side of the post. Don't they have goal line technology yet?

Get me Oscar on the phone - I need him to take some scissors with him to Yeovil tomorrow!!

It's the lino's job to check the goal nets before each half.

They check the bottom is attached to the ground. Do they have enough time to check every hexagon/square/what-have-you? Bayer should offer to have the game replayed.

Watching that clip it looks as though it does enter the goal mouth under the net rather than through a hole? I'm in the north stand behind the goal, and watch the linos check our goal nets. They usually shake the net at the sides and back to see if there's any loose strands.

A downward trajectory would make it nigh on impossible for it to sneak in under the net.

It enters the goal almost half the way up. In all the years I've watched a lino check the net, it's always looking to see if it attached the the floor.

As the game is at Hoffenheim, I guess they have a duty of care to ensure that the goals are fit for purpose. If I were the owner of Bayer, I would offer a replay. Having said that, the officials presumably have a duty of care also.

Why would anyone consider a replay?

There's umpteen defenders and the goalkeeper staring at it and they didn't make a fuss. It's no different to a goal being given when a player is offside. The officials made a mistake, that's all.

Or is there an increasingly perverse value system where "he felt a touch and had a right to go down" (i.e. collapse in a desperate attempt to con an undeserved penalty) is OK but people have to hand back a freak non-goal that wasn't even spotted by anyone on the pitch?

Duty of care?

What happens if someone slips over in the pissing rain at Yeovil tomorrow and lets a goal in. Should the host club owe a duty of care to provide a dry pitch?

It's a game FFS.

You've listed human errors (live in play) and unfortunate conditions.

The issue, as I see it, is defective equipment that is the basis of the game.

With an offside, you could at least make a point that the player scored between the goalposts.

What next? Play cricket with two stumps? Rugby with a round ball? Fencing with chopsticks?

 

[Mellotron]

Amazing. Wouldn't happen in the Bundesliga - best league in the wor..oh.

And you listed defective equipment which was the responsibility of the home side, they lost the game and not just by that goal. The game was played with the right equipment, it was just not checked. So your cricket,ruby and fencing, where you play with the wrong equipment make no sense

The player who headed it knew it had missed. No-one celebrated on his side of the goal. What a bunch of cheats.
I blame safe standing

 

[k2bluesky]

The keeper knew he hadn't been beaten by the header, surely he's got enough brains to go and look to see how it got into the net, obviously via a hole and bring it to the ref/linos attention!?

 

[Ernest]

Funny how a German firm got the contract for goal line technology for the 2014 WC when they can't even get a goal net right
