Kane's 'goal' v Stoke appeal

[ThreeFiveThree]

Tottenham have lodged an appeal to the Premier League in a bid to ensure Harry Kane is credited for their second goal against Stoke

If the decsion is reversed what are the chances of the points being awarded retrospectively?

[Mav3rick]

Zero I'm afraid. The points are final and that's it.

[Mr Clarinet]

But in 30-odd year's time he'll still be claiming it was The Shoulder of God.

[murf]

He's just clutching at straws in his desperation at being outscored by a CK winger / Chelsea reject

[ZeroRemorse]

Embarrassing Harry. I suppose you did "put your daughter's life on it" though mate

Desperate.

[Brightwater]

Bookies would have to pay out twice for the same goal.

[Hotstepper]

No prospect of any retrospective action on the points. When the points are confirmed approx one hour after the final game of the day finishes, their locked in. And that's that. Hard cheese, tough titty etc

[The Username]

It bodes well that that the golden boot is this much of a motivation for him though.

[icefish]

Pathetic from Kane and pathetic from the club to be indulging him.

[ZeroRemorse]

Not looking good Harold.

For me, Spurs have become a team that lacks integrity. Diving to claiming goals that you clearly didn't score in an attempt to win the Golden Boot. His quotes about putting "his daughter's life on it" bothered me the most, a very bizarre tasteless comment.

[Finisher1]

Well those photos don't prove a thing.

[ZeroRemorse]

Well those photos don't prove a thing.

Why not? Using laws of physics which our world does, the ball is clearly too far above his shoulder for a touch. The goal was already credited to Eriksen through analysis, so unless you have have anything proving he did touch the ball (doubt it), then the goal remains Eriksen.

In those photos the ball is clearly going down, so those photos don't prove a thing.

[ZeroRemorse]

The ball would have to take a sharp drop in order to hit his shoulder, at the angle and direction he kicked it, it's virtually impossible he touched it. There's no evidence currently showing he got a touch. Just stills like these that clearly show he was nowhere near it.

[Striker]

Trying to determine accurate conclusions from a single photo is a waste of time.

Match of the Day replays convinced me that he touched it. Although the slight touch that he did get doesn't justify "stealing" a goal from a team mate.

[SirMattBugsby]

It's not about the goal anymore, I thought this was a joke! Is Kane serious? Haven't read his latest comments and now I don't think I want to.

Always suspected that Spurs team lacks a bit of maturity (more from the handshakes than anything else), but this borders on hampering team spirit. The club seems to be pandering to Kane's whims and tantrums.

Bigger clubs will surely be encouraged even more now to target Spurs attack in the summer.

Spot on Striker.

I do wonder what Eriksen thinks about all of this. He seems incredibly laid back so he's probably not too bothered but it smacks to me of Kane putting personal performance above the team.
He's come across as a bit of a wink this week.

I think you are making too much assumptions. Based on those pictures, it's totally unclear whether or not he touched it. Like I said, those photos don't prove a thing.

Ok, few things, well 5 things:

1. Any chance this is just Kane on a wind-up?
2. He's a striker, scoring goals is pretty much the only reason he's on the pitch. It's not like he gets a let off as long as his team is winning. He's there to score goals so of course he wants to be the one to do that.
3. I'd like to think he wouldn't be making all this fuss unless he did actually touch it, and he's going to be the one who knows, not a bunch of fans sitting on their couches, right? Can't count the number of times I've watched a knockout in boxing and wondered whether the guy actually connected. Why is this any different?
4. I'm a Kane-owner.
5. Whatever, it's only a game

[Ruth_NZ]

Pathetic from Kane and pathetic from the club to be indulging him.

And what if it actually did touch his shoulder on the way through and he knows it? What then? He's supposed to say nothing?

You put the 5 in after finishing typing?

I'm really not "old school", but Dave Mackay would have given him more than a slap and told him to stfu....

Kane does not touch the ball.

[hancockjr]

That's pretty clear cut. And slightly odd that he’d claim it.

Sorry, are you guys blind and ignorant of physics? I really don't mean to be rude, but that's surely what it looks like. From the stills, it's clear as day he could not have touched the ball given its trajectory, his body position and distance from the ball.

The video evidence only supports this even more.

[hancockjr]

The video evidence is conclusive. The stills prove nothing. And I have an A level in physics.

Well, it's two of us. You are actually the only one here who has made those kind of silly interpretations based on those still pictures

Well now it's three of us

[blahblah]

Hmmmm, maybe some Goalden Boot thing is relevant in his (agent's) discussion with Fascisto Madrid, or trying to get wage equality with Levy?

A few months ago I heard\read something about Alli and Kane not being the best of buddies. I honestly cant remember the context re both moving to RM, or something - but thinking as I type I am almost confident that it was Winter on R5.

[ZeroRemorse]

Buy some glasses, the ball is miles above his shoulder in the first photo and is basically past him.

Baffled.

[murf]

Those stills do prove one thing - orange gloves just don't go with a fluorescent yellow outfit (and I should know, I've also got an A Level in Physics).

Obviously: I gave up Physics A Level before I\we broke up for the summer hols, I did get an A at 'O' Level though.
