haufdaft Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Not quite sure what your point is here? It shouldn't have been a goal but was humanly impossible to interpret as such? As the players, officials and fans saw it unfold once in real time and didn't micro-analyse footage for days afterwards before reaching a conclusion, let's just leave it at a valid goal decision then eh. I like to think that the referee was positioned well and had the best view of anyone in the stadium.I can only praise his forthright decision making.

David W Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Stirling got away with one at Forthbank in the last game anyway; at 1-1 the assistant wrongly flagged Boyle offside when clean through, as Goodwillie was standing in an offside position but not interfering. It was a dreadful piece of officialing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxruby Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I remember a disallowed goal in 1973 versus Stirling at Annfield. Has that been cleared up yet? We lost 3-1 mind so I livid! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullyWeeLad Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 For me the goal is off side.. think if it was a clear pass then fair enough but the stirling makes a challenge hopes for the best and jut happens to poke it to Boyle.. not a goal for me but seen plenty of dodgy decisions going against Clyde this season, that’s just how the cookie crumbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TOPFITTER Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 Darron Gibson and Ant MacParlin looking to sign for Clyde and make use of their Offender Rehabilitation Programme, I wonder if International Clearance will arrive in time for them to draw the crowds V Stirling ?

My point is that only with the benefit of a slo-mo video can we see what really happened. The referee was much closer to the incident than anyone and should really have done better. Still, swings and roundabouts. We'll get some dodgy decisions in the play-offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pride Of The Clyde Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 So everyone has now came to the conclusion Goodwillie passed the ball through after just about everyone agreed the Stirling player had played it through, if Goodwillie managed to knocked the ball in the direction it went as quickly as the ball moved he is even more of a magician than i thought.

chas Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Having looked at the goal yet again, I am still more than sure it was played to Boyle by the Stirling defender. Look at the referees position, he was right behind and in line when the ball was played, so he was in the best position to make that decision. Look also at the reaction of the Stirling players, why were they not surrounding the ref in an apoplectic rage? Look at Euan McNeill's reaction as he walks away, he knows it was a goal! The ref. also, to his credit, made sure all the defenders knew why he had made the decision and this seemed, to me, was why more fuss was not made about it.

No fault of the referee but i feel it gave us a taster of what it would be like with VAR. No instant celebration of the goal. Sucked most of the enjoyment of your team scoring.

Larry Hood Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 First goal should be chalked off as well because Boyle left the pitch without the ref's permission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
