Why did he do that?

Robbed we were robbed tonight

Domination throughout

Superb performance ruined by refereeing mistake

It happens
 
Isn’t there goal line technology in championship? Why didn’t that go off?

Shouldnt matter really, it was clearly well over the line when Gaz made contact. Inept officials cost us again and again and again.

It did matter because it cost us a goal and if I saw what the assistant saw I would have ruled it out. There was a post and player in the way ,so if a player kicks out ,you assume its to put it in the net and no other reason. In fact there was no reason.

Think about it saw what he saw, yes he did not see it and guessed so he could not make that decision!
 
Appalling decision by the lino, he raised his flag after the keeper ran over and had words with him, I understand him making a mistake by him thinking it was not over the line when GM touched it even though it was infuriating, but to go "Duh, the goalie has a point he must be offside so I'll raise my flag" some 30 seconds later is just not acceptable and he wants taking off the FL line for his actions.
 
A striker desperate for a goal, and for me, poor from Madine. He knew it was going in without his help. Can’t see Kenny being too impressed.

It doesn’t excuse the officials, but as has been said, he gave them something to consider. It’s one of the worst decisions I’ve seen, not least because the linesman has reacted to the protests. The keeper didn’t even react immediately, it was a hopeful protest, like we have seen from Maxwell this season.
 
The point is the game stops once the ball crosses the line, it's a goal, simple as. The ref should have had the signal from the goal line technology and overruled the assistant.
It is one of the diabolical decisions I've ever seen.
Critchley was fuming, and quite rightly so
 
In his interview after the match he said he waited for the ball to go over the line, and to him it was clearly well over the line so he just kicked it in celebration. He didn’t think the officials might not have seen it cross the line as to him it was so obvious. So why wouldn’t he kick the ball? This really is where Hawkeye should have come into its own, but clearly didn’t work as intended.

Don’t think he should take any blame imo, the officials dropped the ball big time, lino clearly changed his mind after some pressure and Hawkeye obviously didn’t do its job.
 
The linesman should be on conference duty for the rest of the season after that decision, to disallow a goal he clearly wasn't sure about that was going in anyway and was clearly in. Ridiculous.
 
With a defender on the line, which Madine would have been aware of, he would have looked pretty damn stupid had he not followed in it Only to see the said defender make a goal line clearance.

Couldn't resist? Temptation?
It shouldn't of mattered though as the ball was already over the line.
I think the ref saw at half time that he'd made a mistake and equalled it up by awarding us the penalty.

I don’t agree the pen was clearly a stonewaller & he bottled sending their goalie off. As for the goal line technology, as far as I’m aware all that does is indicate the ball has crossed the line, so as to how it got there it’s not really any help, especially as it all happened very quickly. It was a poor decision as it was going in regardless & if guesswork was a factor we should have definitely got the benefit of doubt.
 
Don’t you just love it when posters come on here (after the event) and say things like:-
“............I knew it would cause something “
The O/P must have been the only person in the ground who didn’t think it was a legitimate goal.
As for those blaming Madine then you ought to be ashamed.
Any striker would have done exactly the same in that situation and what you have to remember is that he has a nano second to make a decision and once committed he can’t change that.
I would have been more concerned had Madine just stood there and watched the flight of the ball.
It is called strikers instinct and nothing whatsoever to do with being greedy.
We have a great owner, a great manager and backroom staff and a great team who are beginning to play entertaining football but still people feel the need to criticise.
WTF is up with some of you?
 
Surely you can't rule the goal out unless you are 100 percent certain that Madine touched the ball before it crossed the line. That's what I can't understand. There's no way at that speed the Lino could have been certain either way, so why rule it out?
 
How many times have you seen a player follow up after a goal and kick the ball back into the net? I think thats' what Gary did.
 
Can we call him Gary Ungoals now then? 🤣

Does he get one taken off his "massive" total? 🤠
 
If i was a professional footballer and had a goals bonus in my contract i would of done the same as Gary Goals! (not suggesting GM has a clause in his contract per goal.)
