Goal or Not??

[screenexile]

Big controversy in Derry over the County Final on Sunday which has thrown up a bit of ambiguity in the playing rules (Hard to believe I know).

Just thought I'd open it out to the whole board to gauge opinion on it. It caused quite a stir at the time and Social Media has been going a bit mad around here since.

What do we reckon??

Never a goal.

[JoG2]

If the ball was that far over at the end line would it be a wide/45 or at the side a line ball? I'd say so

[Jinxy]

Goal.
100%.

[guy crouchback]

i would say goal, it appears to be behind the post, but then that could be the angle  the photo was taken at.

[Rossfan]

Is this the most pointless parochial thread ever?
I believe there were "incidents" after this game?

[omaghjoe]

Typical discrimination in Derry football that Tyrone clubs continue to suffer from

[stew]

Given that snapshot hell no.

[Club Rossa]

No way is the whole of the ball over the line.

[BennyHarp]

Is that Declan O'Sullivan's arm photoshopped into the last picture?

[BallyhaiseMan]

The ball is not fully over the line in any those pictures.

It is slightly parochial but I'm a neutral and it's fairly contentious. People are saying "The whole ball isn't over the line" yet that wording is not used in the official guide.

Personally it makes no odds to me who won the match but the issue has fairly divided Derry and I thought it would be interesting to see what others thought of the incident. The Poll is a pretty resounding yes vote so far . . .

Surely it's common sense, even if its not in the rule book.

Is it not a penalty for the keeper touching it on the ground outside the small parallelogram?
