Denied A Hat-Trick

They give goals for deflected shots that would have likely been saved except for the deflection, but they don't give Pelle a goal for this? It seems a bit odd.

 

I think the ruling should hinge on whether the ball would have gone in regardless of the opposing player's intervention. In this case, it appears clear that it would have snuck in over the line - and I don't think Mannone was getting there either. So Pelle should be awarded a goal.

From what I heard it won't be given as Mannone took all the pace off the ball and it was the defender's momentum that put it in.

If that's the case, fair enough. My impression from watching the replay (once) was that it was going in regardless, but I could be wrong.

One of the clearest own goals ever, I really don't know what some people on here are on. The keeper saved the initial shot. It squirmed out from him and the defender took the ball forward and then got the ball caught up in his feet and put the ball back over the line. Comedy defending by Bridcutt.

Defender stopped it going in with his left foot only to kick it in with his right.

 

Yeah this is the reason it is an own goal.

 

If the defender had only got one touch on the ball then yes, it would be Pelle's goal on account of

 

1) The ball going in were it left alone

 

2) The ball travelling towards goal at every point in its flight since leaving Pelle's boot.

 

However, if you look at the goal closely Bridcutt actually clears it off the line, only to kick it onto his standing foot, so essentially its as much of an own goal as if he had controlled the ball, dribbled away from goal, and then spun around and blasted into his own net.

 

Pretty clear-cut I'm afraid.

Is Pelle or SFC going to appeal the OG? If they do, it will go to 'the goals panel' or whatever its called. I might be wrong but its worth a try. Without the defenders intervention I think it would have gone in. I know its not clear cut but surely its worth an appeal? I might be wrong about the existance of the 'panel' but I think I read about it somewhere.

Whilst Pelle would want it a definite decision is needed for those who might a placed a load of money on a hat trick, it was on target and despite the GK an defenders failed efforts it went in. I agree that if it was going wide then a clear cut OK.

Should be Pelle's goal, keeper didn't save it just took the sting off it, the ball was rolling in anyway if the defender hadn't tried to clear it. He fudged up his clearance but take him away you have Pelle's shot not saved enough by Manone to prevent the ball rolling in, thus logically it should be Pelle's goal.

 

OG's are just when the ball wasn't ever going in the first place, if Manone had saved the ball and it had stopped dead then yes, OG, but the ball was still continuing on it's original path towards goal and would have gone in anyway even without the defender's intervention.

I'm coming round to the opinion that it's Pellè's goal. True, it was hit strongly enough but it squirmed out under the keeper and then rattled between Bridcutt's legs before creeping over the line. If Bridcutt had been standing on the line and the ball had gone into the goal via the inside of both legs then there'd be no argument.

 

 

Ostenstad's shot was going in anyway.

But the important point is that there were two touches from the defender, one that did stop/clear the shot and another to knock it back in - therefore, technically, it is an own goal.

Hmm... Goes to clear a ball that was going in anyway and the ball rattles between his legs. Not in the same class as Vergini's.

I dont think the number of touches is relevant when they were part of the same process.

 

Ball is going in, defender attempts to clear, fails to do so and ball ends up as goal in anyway.

 

Take him out of the equation and the ball is still going in,

 

I've seen situations where strikers have dinked the ball over the keeper but with not much power, the defender rushes desperately back to clear and slides to hook the ball away before it crosses the line but ends up missing and basically just bundles the ball into the net touching his body several times and those arent called OGs.

 

Basically I think an OG should be decided on the question - Would the ball have gone in without the defender's touch?

 

If the answer is Yes then it's not an OG, if it's not then it isn't.

As much as I would like give it to Pelle, I unfortunately agree with the abovementioned.

You're missing the point. And you've made something up with the term "the same process", that doesn't mean anything.

Does anyone actually know if there is a panel - these opinions are immaterial if a decision is actually made by someone, somewhere.

 

It used to meet on an ad-hoc requirement. This from 2006:ttp://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/aug/23/theknowledge.sport

 

"As a rule, if the initial attempt is goalbound it is credited to the player making the goal attempt," explained a Premier League spokesman. "However if the deflection means that a wayward effort results in a goal then it is attributed to the player who had the last definitive touch of the ball."

 

The committee seems to have met earlier this month: http://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/sam-allardyce-revels-in-absolutely-brilliant-west-ham-win-against-liverpool-9746424.html
