1st Goal Hit the Stantion !

[saintmatt]

 

lol at the ipswich fan going mental in that!

[Micky]

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.

 

After watching it about ten times, I would've agreed with you - it certainly looks like it does.

 

But - it doesn't. You actually nailed it with the 1m 07s, if you frame by frame it you can see that although it looks to have gone outside the post it is only an illusion because of the camera angle. About 2 frames into the 1m 07s shot the ball is actually on the bar about 2 - 3 foot from the post, but again you have to look carfully because again it's a bit of an illusion, purely because what you thought you had seen before.

 

The ball hit the bar.

 

Besides my overwhelming evidence and professional analysis of this situation, even if it had of hit the 'net support post' to the rear of the goal, there is no way it would have rebounded in the fashion it did. The shot nearly snapped the crossbar - it would have decimated the 'net support post'...!!!

 

I rest my case.

[LGTL]

Just to prove it goes absolutely nowhere near the stantion or whatever it's called....

 

This is from behind the goal;

End of discussion.....it clearly hits the bar...

[Webby]

I think the bar hit the ball.

But have you got the angle from the grassy knoll?

[JustMike]

after several attempts at print screen... just before the ball hits the bar.

Allegedly.

Allegedly.

 

you can see fromm pic where it is going to allegedly hit

[Saint Matty 76]

You can tell after watching it a few times it does hit the bar, but the angle that the BBC highlights have makes it quite confusing.

[niceandfriendly]

It's standschun ffs.

[Matthew Le God]

Hard to believe this is even a discussion point. The commentator is an idiot! It clearly hits the metal crossbar and rebounds back at force. Those poles holding up the nets are made out of bendy plastic, if the ball hit them you'd see them wobble all over the place and the ball would lose all its energy and certainly not come back out onto the pitch as it did.

[Village Saint]

Look to the left of the goal, you'll see a green post. There is also one the other side. They are the Stantions. HTH.

 

They are stanchions and no the ball didn't hit one of them.

[saints_is_the_south]

When I first opened this thread I thought what a ridiculous suggestion. Having now watched the replay of the shot about 5 times over, pausing it a few times, it definitely looks like it went past the post.

[saints_is_the_south]

Edit the above, hadn't seen the video behind the goal before posting.

[Crab Lungs]

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.

 

Yes, and I will never forget that... Grrrrrr!!!

[Faz]

It's Stauntion.

[The Kraken]

It's Stauntion.

 

Good player. Terrible manager.

[Professor]

So it was a goal - majority verdict, but should Saint's second goal have been disallowed? From all this close scrutiny of the video, it looks like Lallana was offside when Dan Seaborne played the pass forward to him, from which Adam put Rickie through to score. More close study needed....

[Um Bongo]

I never said it did FFS! I simply pointed out there were two green posts, one either side of the goal.

Looked a tad offside

[Whitey Grandad]

I think its caused by the mpeg encoding. It's an optical delusion.

[The Kraken]

Looked a tad offside

 

The Ipswich fanzine match report claimed the move was started by a ball " to the probably offside Lallana", I so watched it back at the time. The camera angle isn't great, but unless there's a player way out of shot playing Lallana on then he looks very clearly offside.

[CanadaSaint]

Okay, 1-4 it is, then.

 

Who's going to tell the League?

So lets get this right, our's is offside and they hit the green post thingy, on top of that the goal Connolly got, Guly cleary took it out of play before the hook back, so it's 3-1 right?

Stanchione

Ole, Ole, Ole.

[Andy Durman]

I sat on the halfway line and it clearly hit the bar in the middle of the goal. It went nowhere near the stanchion. I can understand from the camera position why you think it hit the stanchion, but it didn't.

[Andy Durman]

I would also agree that our first was offside

[Micky]

Green, bendy, pole thingymajig.......

[brmbrm]

If you think it hit the staunchion you need a simpole lesson in geometry.

 

OK, the shot could have been the bendiest swerving banana shot in histiry, bounced of the staunchion and done another bendiest banana thin gon the way out, or else it could have just hit the bar.

 

I go for the conspiracy theiry myself - proof of aline life on earth to enable the ball to be so bendy.

 

Or else it hit the bar

[This Charming Man]

If you think it didn't hit the bar, you're a moron. End of discussion.

[Dr Who?]

It hit the cross bar 100%!

[sussexsaint]

Pretty suspicious behaviour, the stanchion went out clubbing after the match to celebrate

Most obvious inbred alive.

[Rory]

This is a bigger conspiracy than 9/11. The "official" footage shows the ball "hit the stanchion" but the amateur shots show the ball hit the bar. Hmmm, who do we believe?

[Rory]

The BBC coverage clearly shows it hit the bar, btw, but I can see why people think otherwise.

Chris-Chan in disguise! Love the 'professional' title screen, followed by Dr mongtopus dribbling at the camera.

['dover Saint]

Was the ref going to give Town a pen if their second goal did not go in, he seems to me to give the "I-spotted-an-infringement-but-played-the-advantage" arm signal rather than the "Goal" arm signal after it goes in. Hmmm?

[Jonnyboy]

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

 

sh*t it looks lower than the crossbar. Kelv is diving as if its going past the post. I reckon the OP is right.

Jesus what the hell is wrong with that guy!? At least our retards don't need to put themselves on youtube for every other club to laugh at.

 

Mind you he does look and sound EXACTLY as i expect MLG to be

Harsh, no-one is that bad. I mean Ipswich Cwathee bad, not MLG bad, which I am suggesting is less.

 

Anyone who is THAT sarcastic in speech that often with no-one around has problems.

 

Plus MLG would have known how to pronounce all of the opposition players' names.

hilarious! what a mong
