I have seen it mentioned on HS that there was a new camera angle that confirmed it was a goal jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 29/08/2016 09:06:51 1907305 Link 0 |
Pretty sure the umpire staring right across the line confirmed it.

They might be referring to this one: http://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2016/0828/812474-dublin_kerry_half-time/ But to my eyes even this thisis inconclusive arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 29/08/2016 09:27:33 1907320 Link 1 |
Look the umpire was best positioned to make the decision , take it on the chin , I have the height of respect for dubs at the moment with the football their playing but please don't start going down the Mayo route with a whinge.Good luck in the final.

Have to agree about the umpire

Ah sure let them have the goal. Clucko should have batted that away. Lucky it didn't matter in the end. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 29/08/2016 09:47:25 1907342 Link 0 |
If you look at the photo above The umpires view is actually partially blocked - there is no way he could have fully seen it. Cluxton's fingers are right behind the ball, you can see the aluminous green colour on his glove That ball does not look fully over the line from that shot IMO So this "The umpire was well positioned" lark is clearly not the case You can clearly see his view is partially blocked, so he made a very difficult 50/50 call based on a partial view Kerry blatantly got the biggest 50/50 call in their favour and it was worth 3 points ion the stroke of H/T I wont be hearing anymore whinging about the refs performance jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 29/08/2016 09:48:56 1907345 Link 0 |
It does raise the question though, why don't we use hawkeye for this king of thing also. Like they do in the soccer. daytona11 (Kildare) - Posts: 4012 - 29/08/2016 09:53:28 1907351 Link 2 |
Same umpire who gave a wide and was overruled by the ref 40 yards away? And rightly so...... JayP (Dublin) - Posts: 1772 - 29/08/2016 09:55:21 1907353 Link 0 |

Well very the line just imagine the ball being brought up or down from that position and it's a goal..also this is not at its maximum point of going forward as Clutton is bringin back out here with a valiant effort BigJohn.6_8 (Galway) - Posts: 704 - 29/08/2016 10:24:09 1907387 Link 2 |

I thought it was a goal at the time but any replay/photo I've seen is inconclusive at best. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13707 - 29/08/2016 10:38:03 1907405 Link 0 |
I can see him looking at it it that picture. That pic wasn't taken at the furthest point it had travelled. Look where cluxtons leg is in line with this arm. Highly dubious it aint Superglue (Kerry) - Posts: 1283 - 29/08/2016 10:59:44 1907421 Link 0 |
From where I was sitting I couldnt tell if it was a goal or not. I first thought he had saved it. As the Dub sitting beside me said "it must have been a goal as Cluxton hasnt even argued with the decision".

Yeah its as clear as day alright.. ahem His view is blocked, you got a very dubious 50/50 call there There is no way to know it was over the line Apart from a partial view from a supposedly well positioned umpire Some would have not given it just as easy. You got the break but didn't capitalise Thankfully, because that "goal" would have been a huge talking point You got that massive call worth 3 points.. so less of the program throwing! jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 29/08/2016 11:11:28 1907435 Link 0 |
Sure only one umpire awarded the goal anyway from what i saw, the one that was nearest to it didn't seem to convinced. A dubious award. realman2 (Kildare) - Posts: 464 - 29/08/2016 11:15:00 1907437 Link 1 |

The arguement for the 2 shoulders levelling themselves out doesn't stack up. Dublin came off better by both not being given. Think few Dubs are a bit sore this morning now they know they aren't as invincible as they thought. Ye got a bad fright from a bunch of lads that wouldn't make the dublin team. Anyway, congrats on making back to back finals. It's a great achievement. It's definitely one of the best dublin teams for a long time Superglue (Kerry) - Posts: 1283 - 29/08/2016 11:50:30 1907465 Link 1 |
