Roast Another goal debacle

[rumply]

Hope old mate enjoyed his goal umpiring career, short lived though it was....

I hope people realise this is just a case of human error. The goal umpire thought the ball hadn't crossed the line and was still in play. There is no mechanism for a review in this situation.

Do people want to see the game stopped only for a review to confirm the ball was still in play? Or a review the next time that time off is blown?

I think you’ve given him the benefit of the doubt. Looked more like a bloke who shat himself and didn’t have he guts to stop the game.

He made an error but I am glad he had conviction.

Human error, yes, the balls a foot over the goal line before being touched, I think human error describes it well & may well still decide this game.

 

[demondavey]

You wouldn’t want a mistake like that costing Melbourne a win, especially when a top 2 pick is on the line.

umpire mistake... jog on

When it's Essendon or Collingwood it's the end of the world

I’m sure this happened in another game this round and that was to check for whether it crossed for a behind. It didn’t and they resumed play via a ball up

Which was also the wrong decision

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

Umpiring all game was an absolute disgrace. The 5 metre mark and goal to Swallow was terrible too. Another missed OOTF lead to a Gold Coast goal too.

Very nearly cost Essendon the game.

 

[Forward Press]

What happens if an umpire thinks it was over the line, they review it, and it turns out it never crossed the goal line?

When in doubt, it should always be play on.

Umpiring decisions don’t cost teams the game

If we’re going to have video replays and bunkers etc, I want goals to be goals.

Almost Margetts level umpiring for GC today

 

[JayJ20]

What's the point of a score review if a goal isn't a goal?

 

[quotemokc]

It had to be reviewed and it HAD to be paid a goal, even if it was 30 seconds later. Just stop the play and pay the goal once it is confirmed in the box.

In the event that it was not a goal then let GC maintain possession instead of a ball up at the top of the square.

Was wanting a replay of that one - I wasn't sure, but thought it came off the foot and bounced (bump ball).

When in doubt if that ball had crossed the line?? The balls a ****ing foot over before its touched.

Clearly old mate is an incompitent, delist.

Umpires are human. Humans make errors. Ergo, umpires make errors.

Blaming umpires for losses and blasting them to be sacked for making an error makes you a campaigner.

I am aware I am a West Coast fan.

 

[Upgrayedd]

Ooooof.

Howler

 

[GuzzLG]

The umpire is a human error

Okay but what is your solution here? What do you want to have happen?

It's unfortunate that he made a bad mistake but human error is always going to exist.
