Why was this goal disallowed ?

Post by 1964white »

First goal can be important in a tight game

I thought it was disallowed for offside but you can clearly hear the ref blow his whistle as soon as Bartley cleanly wins the ball with his header

Watch 18 seconds into this clip

My thoughts exactly when I saw the clip yesterday, looked a perfectly legit goal to me and yes it could have changed the whole game and given us the confidence to go on and win the 3 points.....maybe ! :x

Like you say nothing at all wrong. The ref definitely seems to be waiting till Bartley jumps but no foul at all and if anything the keeper punches Bartley who wins the ball cleanly before the keeper gets anywhere near the ball.

Does my head in anytime any player goes near a keeper the ref blows the whistle, yet the keeper can punch the players lights out (going for the ball!) and I don't see refs giving many pens for that.

This was definitely a goal that should have stood surely we can pin the blame on the EFL somehow?
