willie wallace Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Just watched the highlights of that game.Unbelievable decision,the keeper thinks its a goal kick but linesman awards a goal.The referee must have known it was not a goal as no players or fans even claimed for one.Will be interesting to see who they award the "non goal"to.

BlackJAC? Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 i'm sure the same thing happened in Germany a few seasons ago and the game got replayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudi Hates Hibees Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Seen it this morning on SS. An awful decision, how the linesman thought it was a goal is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossi_1983 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 That is unreal Did the linesman not notice that it was a Reading boy that "cleared it off the line" Reminds me of this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveofthegame Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 That is incredible. The guy should never be allowed to officiate at that level ever again (the linesman that is). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackJAC? Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 because letting the opposition score on purpose is against the rules. There were two Asian teams that got hammered a few years ago because neither wanted to play in Vietnam, so both were blatantly letting one another score or were missing complete sitters just so they lost the game. the eventual winners still had to play a game in Vietnam so it was a bit pointless.

That's not the same thing really, those two teams were deliberately trying to lose the game, which wouldn't have been the case in the Reading/Watford game. I don't think they should have done though, I mean are teams goig to start doing that every time they are awarded a goal they shouldn't have been?

BlackJAC? Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 It's still comes down to the same thing, it's against the rules to purposely let the opposition score. Watford would have been screwing with the result, like those Asian teams had had they purposely conceded a goal, so aye, it is basically the same thing. No matter what went before, Watford would have been hammered had they allowed Reading to score, so it's not Watford that's at fault here, it's the officials. The only action Watford can take is to request a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommythejambo Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 I'm sure some team recently allowed another to score. I think that was after someone went down injured and (we'll say team A) put the ball out of play for their injured team-mate. Team B had to restart the game with a throw-in and then had to give the ball back to Team A. However, this led to a freak goal as Team A's goalie completely misjudged the back-pass and it went in. Team B's manager then told his players to allow Team A's goalkeeper to run through the team and score a tap in. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
