Curtains Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Rubbish. Virtually all educated people in the 15th century knew that the Earth was a sphere. So when and who decided that if we went far enough we didn't fall in to the abyss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnieronalde Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I can't believe some lads who are usually pretty good judges of the game are saying it's inconclusive from those pictures. Look at where the defenders standing foot is when he clears it. There's no way that's not in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 they only theorised Given the angle of inclination of the sun at noon at two given points on the same longitudinal plane on a sphere, and given the distance between the two points, anyone with a basic knowledge of Pythagorean geometry can calculate the circumference of the sphere. You don't have to walk in one direction with a pedometer and wait until you've gone all the way around and reached your start point. Similarly, if you wanted to build a fence all the way around the earth at the equator, and the fence was 1 metre high, it's easy to calculate how much longer the rail at the top would be compared to the distance at the ground. The answer, to many, is surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIMBAUD Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 fwiw i sit level with the penalty spot at that end - it looked well in... even the old bloke behind me who is generally a quiet sort of fella was enraged by it not being given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 But we're right, no goal was given. To be fair to the lino, with it being right in the middle of the goal, it was as far away from the refence points like the gaol line, the post and the bar as possible. But looking at where the guy was standing, he didnt clear it off the line, he cleared it from 2 feet behind the line. He was not streching forward , he was trying to hook it back from behind the goal line.Maybe we need crickets "hotspot" thermal imaging technology to detect where and when the ball hit the player , then it would put it beyond doubt but certainly looked like a goal both live and in the freeze frames.

Uptherams Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I pasted the image into Photoshop, drew a straight line between the back of the goal line and cross bar. It was a goal. That was based on the frame in which he has already made contact with the ball and it has begun to make it's way back. At the match it was a clear 2 foot over the line.

Dimmu Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Having consulted Hawkeye I can confirm it is a goal.
