pete 2,499 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 This is not really Rangers news but could be Rangers related in the future. First of all I will say that in Holland they are already using goai-line technology. I just watched Feynoord v PSV. It is about 80+\- minutes with the score locked at 1-1. A cross comes over in the PSV area and is headed goal wards by a Feynoord player. The keeper lying on the line saves the ball and pulls it safely to his chest. Nobody in the stadium thinks anything about it but all of a sudden the referee blows his whistle and points to the centre line and a goal is given. The referee points to his wrist where his goal warning alarm is placed saying the ball was over the line. Watching on TV it is not even visible but seemingly when the keeper pulled the ball into his chest he pulled it about 1mm over the line tripping the goal decision system. It really was a bazaar moment. Definitely something keepers will have to get used to in the future. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching the game and it didn't look over the line to me. but who am I to argue with technology? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

les186 271 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 It's not going to happen anytime soon in Scotland, Scottish football can't afford goal line technology. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share Posted February 26, 2017 Was it given as an OG? I haven't seen the official match report but I have now seen it from another angle where you can clearly see what happened. He actually stops the ball on the ground before the line. Then he roles it back towards the line before picking it up. He has just misjudged it by a millimeter. The referee was on TV giving his version and he said he looked at his watch(receiver) after the first stop and it gave nothing on so he was actually ready to run up the field when the alarm went off. He actually never saw the keeper pulling it back that extra few inches until they showed him the TV replay. It is an own goal technically but I am not sure what the KNVB will decide. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
