Don't really care if it was in or not, we won, and even if it was over, we've been long overdue a bit of luck!
You can genuinely say that you can tell from that that the ball wasn't over the line? Where were you sat in the ground? I was pretty much in line with the goal line and the ball was well over the line.Biggs":3gno17zd said:

Biggs, you be the detective, I'll be the witness. I was there, I saw it, real time, I'll give you a statement that you can present with your file. The ball was over.

If you look at my previous post, I actually said that pic is the strongest evidence so far that the ball was OVER. Though if you pushed me on it, I’d say that it’s likely a bit of the ball was just on the line.
I’m failing to understand the relevance of where I was sat when we’re dealing with photographic evidence. There is no conceivable justification for you to say it was well over when presented with that pic.
And I get the points about it being irrelevant, but it’s a fun piece of detective work in a thread dedicated to the subject and it would be nice to know we won the three points fair and square.
Oh no it doesn't ...Biggs":2vfonu6r said:This is very odd. Is it just me??
How can anyone take what they saw from up to 50 yards away in a nanosecond above photographic evidence? Presumably none of you see the need for replays, photo finishes or post-analysis of any kind.
That picture PROVES the ball wasn’t ‘way over’ the line :lol:

More to the point, who's going in goal today?

All around me agreed. The Matchday moments footage is from the front and the rear so it therefore can't possibly give any indication whether the ball was over the line or not. As I said it most definitely was.
I have no idea why I'm wading back into this :lol: :facepalm:, but you can't possibly say this is a full foot over the line. I've made sure I've captured the moment when it's furthest 'over' just as Roos touches it back, though in the video he falls on it rather than scoops it back.

All the retrospective imagery stuff is meaningless. In a flat 2D image you don't get depth perspective, you only get that in the moment itself. We were roughly at the same angle to you but on the opposite side and again, everyone round us knew instinctively it was not just over but WELL over.
What a 2D image does though is debunk the conspiracy theorists. Why the lino didn't give it?, the ball was completely obscured by Roos and the post. Why the lack of Gillingham reaction?, only their #11 was right up with play and he is square on to the ball.
The only confusion in my mind is why so many will quite happily say that black is white here. It was WELL over, we don't lose any points by being honest, so why pretend what we saw with our own eyes didn't happen.
I fully accept it's a moot point, the moment has gone, it's history. But it's never "irrelevant drivel", in any circumstance, to be honest about something that happened. Revisionism is never a path worth taking.
