Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Tomorrow morning the referee and the linesman on that side of the pitch should be asked by the fA/Football League what they thought they saw or happened. If they can't give a good explanation they should be both sacked and never ref again. I mean the real question is if the ref didn't think it went in, where did the ball go? What on God's earth did he see? One occasion where I feel Warnock is right, and it was also very undporting by the Bristol people. If it was a big team in the Prem it would be replayed, but we all know this won't be.
dandannieldanok Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Disgraceful, Bristol City and Gary Johnson should be as ashamed as the officials. I don't like Warnock but I completely sympathise with him and totally agree with his comments. It's a shame that teams like Reading and Bristol City don't help in situations like this by showing some simple sportsmanship.
Corky Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Warnock has my sympathy with this, it was a clear goal and cost them dearly.
ousefox Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Couldnt believe this when i saw it! I know it wasn't Bristol City's fault for not letting the goal stand, but all it needed was one Bristol player to tell the ref it went in.

stevie909 Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Bristol City just got on with it. If a team did let Palace score after then they should get the utmost respect. However, I don't think that it should be expected from Bristol City to go and tell the ref it was a goal. It is not cheating to just carry on with it, the referee made the mistake and Bristol City just got on with it, they could have done something very good in letting Palace have a goal but I don't think they actually did anything wrong. Most teams would have done the same thing. I disagree. when that 'phantom goal' happened between reading and watford i remember a load of the reading (they were the team that supposedly 'scored' it right?) players surrounding the ref trying to tell him it wasnt a goal. imo bristol city made no effort what so all to tell the truth yesterday, which whilst might have been alright in some people's eyes, was a bit shameful in mine. Also if i'd have been freddie sears i'd have completely lost it at the ref, he seemed to just get on with it .
davieG Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 They don't need technology, all it needed was the Bristol City players to say "it was a goal". If the Palace players could see that, then it would be bizarre to think that they couldn't. Given that there is so much technology these days, and it must have occurred to them that the 'mistake' would be easily picked up, it just makes Bristol City look like a bunch of c words. Not for this maybe but other instances have been difficult to determine any other way. Any way I was only intimating that it will come eventually especially as and when the technology improves even further. As for BC being dishonest well there is so much of it in the game where do you draw the line between someone being professional and some one cheating - Warnock is one of the worst for encouraging dishonesty.
Fox92 Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Love him or hate him, if only everyone was as passionate as Warnock, football would be even better than it already is! Agree, I think he is a legend. Brought his book for my dad ages ago and having a flick threw it, and my dad reporting it back to me he sounds like a nice person. To be honest though, he is very passionate and thats how it should be. Like to see him do well.
lildave3 Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 I fail to see how you could not see it was a goal just by looking at all of the players reactions. Crazy.
The Doctor Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 this again causes people to call for goalline technology. don't see why fifa/fa.whoever doesn't introduce it. after all you've got the video ref in rugby that hawk eye thing in tennis and yet nothing in football despite the fact that football is a sport as big, if not bigger, than rugby and is a whole lot bigger than tennis. harsh on palace but warnock can't really critisize the bc players when their body language clearly shows that they knew it was a goal but just because the ref and assistants can't tell from that doesn't mean the bc players should protest the desicion doubt warnock would want his players to do so if they were the ones getting the benifit of poor reffering.
Edmund Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Another thing they mentioned last night was how did the referee not realise he had made a mistake by the crowd reaction yet alone the players reactions. Palace fans were cheering when the goal was scored and then the Bristol fans cheered like they had scored a goal when the goal was disallowed.

Given our gesture to Forest in the Carling Cup a few years back, I'm delighted to support a club that aren't unsportsmanlike pr*cks like Reading and Bristol City.
Ashley Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Shocking decision. What phase of play would of happend after this?
Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Shocking decision. What phase of play would of happend after this? I would assume a goal kick as it seems the ref thought that the ball hit the advertising boards behind.
StanSP Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 I would assume a goal kick as it seems the ref thought that the ball hit the advertising boards behind. Apparently the ref thought it hit the post?
john_lcfc Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 problem is there has been no system for goaline technology which would not interfere with the flow of the game. I would go as far as saying there isnt one.
acooling08 Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 How the hell?????????????????!!!!!!!!!! This was my thread!
Salieri Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 How the hell?????????????????!!!!!!!!!! This was my thread! No, it wasn't. Your post got merged into here as it was already being discussed.
MPH Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 There needs to be something sorted to aid referees and assistants, I do understand TV Replays, and if it goes your favour (As it did for Bristol) take the debate and discussion away from the game but something needs sorting, Mistakes have always been made by referees but it just seems it getting more and more common in todays game and its not right.We all understand referee's have a hard job but the it's hard to respect the officials when they make such decisions. not so sure its more common ... there are tv cameras at every game these days and so it will definately be highlighted more... But didnt this happen in a leicester game many years ago? Against fulham i think it was... They scored a goal and it went in hit a corner stansion came out again and if they had been given the goal they would of got promoted instead of us? or somthing like that... patchy memory... or maybe it burst through the side of the net or somthing? anyway...
Budweiser Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Disgrace. How the 4th official can't look at a camera for 10 seconds is beyond me. Palace got robbed to say the least.
Father Ted Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Twat. I'm sure you'd say exactly the same if that had have happened to us. It's Neil Warnock we're talking about. He deserves all the footballing bad luck possible. Had it happened to any other team* then I would class it as disgusting. *Excluding Forest, Cov and Derby.
lavrentis Posted 16 August 2009 Author Posted 16 August 2009 How the hell?????????????????!!!!!!!!!! This was my thread! Ha Ha Ha. I win and I didn't even start this one.
Hugo Sanchez Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Its Neil Warnock at the end of the day, hes a c**t. Some Leicester fans have short memories.
Milky Posted 16 August 2009 Posted 16 August 2009 Disgrace. How the 4th official can't look at a camera for 10 seconds is beyond me. Palace got robbed to say the least. The 4th official knew it was a goal, but he wasn't allowed to tell the ref. I say let the 4th official in on the party.

If you watch the replay, Bristol's #14 blocks his line-of-sight at the last minute. Still, from the reaction of those who did see it, he should have been able to hold off a second or two before giving anything.
