This ref has Pardew SEETHING with ANGER
Sorry but I think the refs right - a player moving out of the way of a ball going towards goal surely means he's in play? Which means it was the correct decision?
Dunno how they're impeding, the ball is flying into top corner, Hart knew he weren't having it so didn't even seem to bother diving for it. Seems an absolutely shocking decision.
That's not the question, it's whether the person who moved out of the way of the ball is deemed to be involved in play, I think it's a extremely tough one for the referee. For example if you have a shot, and someone clearly in an offside position jumps over the ball as it goes into the net, is he in play? (Not what happened here but it shows how difficult it could be to interpret the rules. If that's offside, this one was too.
He wasn't in the line of the goalkeepers sight, he didn't impede a defender, infact he was about a yard away from anybody which means he was not active. Had he touched the ball he would of been.
It was a clean goal that was wrongly disallowed.
Him having to move out the way of the ball surely goes against him not being 'active'? I still think it was a very tough decision anyway, it's easy for us with slow mo replays, initially I even thought he knicked it. It's a 50/50 call IMO, I can see an argument for both sides.
