saintoaks Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 I havnt seen it anywhere on the forum, so forgive me if it is, but Ipswich's first goal should never been given, Chopra hit the stantion just before Andrews scored....Bizarre !!!

for_heaven's_Saint Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 As if the players wouldn't have noticed! We were sat the other side to the camera angle and it definitely hit the bar, right in the middle of the goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets B Avenue Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 Dan Harding would have done his fecking nut, if that had happened. I, too, was there and saw it hit the bar.

Gemmel Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 (edited) LOL.... I was there and never thought it was anything else than the crossbar, but the ones slamming the OP, might want to be a little less adamant... he has a valid point. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14565065.stm Edited 18 August, 2011 by Gemmel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsland Red Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 I remember once against Leeds at the Dell we (Mark Hughes?) scored a 'goal' that stretched the net and rebounded into play off the advertisement hoarding behind the net and came straight out. No one on the pitch appealed. We were 0-2 at the time, and did not have an internet forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 (edited) Uploaded with ImageShack.us Uploaded with ImageShack.us Really not sure now.

Pilchards Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 (edited) Have a look at the 2nd goal they got, when it finally made its way though to the goal line, Harding sliced it and the ball clearly hits the back of Davis head and then the crossbar before it came out again. It's shocking how much we are missing now with these fast new footballs. Just noticed that after seeing the highlights he has a point, it does not hit the post.

Evil Monkey Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 It looks to me like it could have hit either. But as someone else has said...surely Harding et all would have noticed and hit the f*cking roof! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alain Perrin Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 The poster is correct. If you watch the BBC highlights here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14565065.stm Then at 1m 07s, the ball from Chopra's shot clearly goes past the post, cannons off the stanchion and comes back into play.

sussexsaint Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 It really doesn't, its the angle of the camera thats creating an optical illiusion the ball goes to the right of the upright and hits the middle/left of the bar, the stanchion is miles behind the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 I must be watching a different highlights package to others above. It clearly comes back off the bar. The bar (and upper netting) visibly shake, this just wouldn't happen if it hit the green post. Also, watch Dan Harding's position all the way throughout. He is looking at the ball the whole way. You don't think he'd notice and appeal if the ball hadn't travelled an extra 6 yards out, and 6 yards back into play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 It clearly comes off the bar IMO, i've watched it 100 times and was also there on the day. As said above, I must be watching a different highlights package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 To hit the green post from the angle chopra shoots from, the ball would have to go through the goal. Unless he can bend it like Beckham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbal Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 The reason it conceivably looks like it hits the stantion from the main camera angle is because of motion-blur. Freeze-frame the action and the ball is two or three ghost images. It's just an optical illusion created by recording at 50 fields per sec at 1/100th. High-speed (slo-mo) cameras would have shown it hitting the bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 18 August, 2011 Share Posted 18 August, 2011 the stupid black/white video on saintsplayer on 2min 45secs clearly shows it hitting the bar from an angle on the other side of the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
