The camera is about 3 or 4 yards off the end line Even looking at that picture there it looks to me that not all the ball is over the line, It looks like its passed the posts but only cause of where the camera is. Put that camera under the crossbar or in line with the post and I don't think you see the whole ball over the line. For me its still debateable but I don't care, We won, It matters not now. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 29/08/2016 12:37:29 1907511 Link 0 |

The same man gave a blatant wide as a point Looking at the photo His line of vision is partially blocked The umpire with the best view didn't give it It's nowhere near as clear cut as you're making out Brolly At best 50/50 And Kerry got the most crucial 50/50 dubious enough call of the day that turned out to be 3 points jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20601 - 29/08/2016 12:54:30 1907526 Link 0 |

Best reflects what most dubs feel on this.

A very poor performance from Gough, the Dubs were awarded so many soft free's. TheWestIsAwake (UK) - Posts: 529 - 29/08/2016 13:13:24 1907548 Link 0 |

The umpire was in a much better position then you were to decide. If you watch the replay of the event and concentrate on the Dub defenders hand you should be able to deduce that the ball was well over the line.

Unless you were standing in the exact spot the umpire was in you have no idea if his vision was impeded or not. It was a goal end of. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 29/08/2016 13:31:20 1907562 Link 1 |

So what if it wasn't a goal? Are you saying the umpire made it up? He saw what he thought was a goal - we have to rely on humans to do the job and sometimes they get.it wrong, the very fact that nothing is conclusive is enough to say that he may have been right. Look at the billions of $ that soccer makes and they don't have the technology bar having it for the euros. Is anyone seriously suggesting that the gaa invest in it - We can only afford hawk eye in two stadiums. It would have been harsh if it was in the last second of the game and it made a difference but even then that's just the way it is. It's right to demand the highest standards from officials but also you have to realise there is no alternative and live with their decisions. zinny (Wexford) - Posts: 1805 - 29/08/2016 13:48:08 1907577 Link 0 |

Human errors happen all the time. The same fella made a bad call when he judged a point to be over too that was well wide I'd argue about him having the best angle He clearly had a partially obstructed view The umpire with the best view and standing closer with no player partially blocking his view didn't give it! All I'm saying is that it was no doubt a 50/50 call, that many other umpires would not have given It was the most advantageous call of the entire game and it went to Kerry jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20601 - 29/08/2016 13:52:04 1907579 Link 0 |

The goal was given and to be fair to the umpire there was no doubt in his mind and he went for the green flag straight away. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 29/08/2016 14:02:30 1907591 Link 1 |

Even the camera link shows that it is clearly over the line even though the camera angle is such that it makes the ball just over over as its from marginally behind the goals. Do some guys think that the ball has to hit the net?

It doesn't show that it was clearly over the line at all. The umpire made the call and we have to trust his decision. Saying that you know it was definitely over the line is just lying. Hawkeye needs to be brought in for these decisions and then there is no doubt. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13718 - 29/08/2016 14:32:21 1907614 Link 1 |

It doesn't clearly show anything What is clear to see it that the umpire with no partially obstructed view who was closer to the incident didn't give it But the fella who had already called a wide a point and mistakenly waved a ball wide which was in fact a 45 did give it. Sorry but if this was a court case the Dubs would have a very solid case indeed Obstructed view, had already made mistake due to human error and later went on to make another... it wouldn't take much of a defence attorney to turn this around jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20601 - 29/08/2016 14:33:39 1907615 Link 0 |

If people are using that picture to prove the ball crossed the line id ye to be on a jury judging me From that angle no way in hell could you say it was over the line The umpire is even looking around Cluxton to see the ball Did it cross the line I don't know and nobody knows for sure and from that picture the only person that does is Cluxton The more important question is why the hell doesn't Hawke Eye cover this can't cost that much more cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 29/08/2016 14:57:38 1907641 Link 1 |

Where I was sitting in the Hogan stand I would have little doubt it was a goal. ros1 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1211 - 29/08/2016 15:07:00 1907647 Link 0 |

So your view from over 100+ feet away is more clear cut
