Dale Thomas Non-Paid Goal

[tomtifosi]

Was at that game, it was f*cking brilliant.

[sooot175]

I was at the game, right behind where this happened. The umpire called it back really late, and was a good 50m away from the contest. No way the umpire could have conclusively seen that it was out. Even on the replay I'm not sure if the ball went all the way out. I think in these situations they should give benefit of the doubt to the player.

[MrYub]

this hurts to say being a cralton supporter but the goal umpire cant signal for a goal or point till the all clear has been giving by the field umpire, fair enough it was called out, but how could a field umpire give the all clear, then the goal umpire signal a goal, all before they heard the boundary umpires whistle, makes you wonder, and if that had of been a field umpire making a shocking call ( happens a plenty ) they wouldnt reverse or take back their call, but the goal umpire can/does?

[SweetbirdKamakazie]

lol the hawks are the most succusful team of the modern era! if i was a foundation team such as collingwood, carlton, essendon, melbourne or geelong i'd be shutting up on the premiership thing cause u've had over 100 years and the most any of u have is like 15 cups, good ratio :P and the ball was definatley out of bounds

[MrYub]

@SweetbirdKamakazie hawthorn founded 1902, carlton founded 1897, 5 years difference isnt much and we have 15 prems to hawthorns 10, cats 3 prems in the past 5 yrs, so in histroy or current day hawks are not the most successful by any means

[lukeshuey123]

Rule number 9 in the afl rule book colliwoble supporters: if all the ball is 100% out of the line its out of bounds and before u start saying it was a goal look at afl rules lots of love eagles#1fan :D

[doma799]

bullshit that should od been a goal :@

[bomberdan]

@xxSCHNUGARxx no.

[bomberdan]

@xxSCHNUGARxx so the better team has won less flags?

[bomberdan]

@xxSCHNUGARxx oh so that means collingwood have won more flags does it, because they won on anzac day? hmm interesting logic...

[bomberdan]

@xxSCHNUGARxx ah, but not better than ESSENDON.

[bomberdan]

@xxSCHNUGARxx you can't even tell who i go for? you've gotta be kidding ME! typical collingwood... and just exactly how do collingwood kick ass? cos they havent won as many flags as us boys? oh right...

[troyundroy1]

If he was wearing an Eagles jumper, and the game was in Subiaco, you'd find he was still 2 metres inside 'their' boundary.

[GrandpaLemon123]

god damn yellow maggots !!!! 

[mr1000rx]

Typical umpires. Crucify the Pies everytime. But that's what makes the Pies stronger. We expect nothing and get nothing and still win Premierships back to back. 

[illaghee1]

@mr1000rx LOL

[andrewscott91]

@mr1000rx HA

r u retarded pies r the most favored team in the league by a fucking mile

[mr1000rx]

@andrewscott91 That's because all the supporters are loyal and passionate.

[bomberdan]

@mr1000rx back to back hey? fool.

[mr1000rx]

@bomberdan Pies are the only club to string 4 in a row. Suck on that.

[bomberdan]

@mr1000rx um how many flags have you won? suck on that.

[MalteseMifsud]

it was fuckin in, the umpires are dogs.

[RenderedUnsafe]

Who actually won?

[MultiCooldude23]

It looks like it went out from the camera angle but it was in!!!

[TheFootyChamp]

no goal

[scubaboytellem]

thomas never gets a hard ball, watched him closely on friday and always on the outside watching for the easy ball

[dylan6480]

@scubaboytellem u clearly just didnt watch this video

[myforwik]

Entire ball has to be outside the chalk. It was a goal.

[steak96SAUCE]

Didak that quiff. Soft as fucking butter

[wiiwizz100]

@steak96SAUCE shut up idiot



[ElliottsFather]

Ask Wayne Harmes.

[captcaveman82]

on the line is in and being at the game it looked to be still well and truly in as there was no way the entire ball crossed the line

[wasan2ffs]

was out of bounds for sure,in saying that what is a few cms sure he didnt score but it was a brilliant bit of play and a well judged kick with a slight bit of arse.

[beauyp]

i hate dale thomas with a passion, but he is an amazing player one of the best going around

[baird55aus]

The problem was not that the ball going through the goals as it clearly did -the problem is whether he was out of bounds. Unless the entire ball is out then it is "not out". pretty hard to tell from the angles and I don't think the boundary umpire (linesman) was in any better position as he was over the boundary by too far.

[jimmatheman]

keep on pressing 3 but not extremely fast

[OceanCinema]

Just on the line by the looks of it?

[UltimateSqueakyToy]

fail

[Godz18saints]

Haha suck crap

[calvinrox12]

huh

[spottiedog2000]

the umpier is called the three blind mice

[bonnieweelass2000]

i thought it was just on the line

[REDROOST68]

That great

[PortandFreo]

I love the 'Oh my god' at 0:46.

[billapot089]

at 0:51, the angle there clearly shows it was in.

[54264447]

no joke but i was at that game right where thomas was and that wasnt out the umpires r stupid

[MrFrisa96]

Michael Christians 'excitement' at 0:06

[liammoxon95]

that is clearly out of bounds....if he had kept in it would have been an amazing goal though

[farmadippy]

I was at that match and jeez...it was such a close call. It was a nanometre either way so I think that all that matters is that it was an incredible kick.

[KERNZ00]

Harmes*

[KERNZ00]

Out of bounds by 2 metres. Fuck some people are blind.

This is what happened with the Wayne harmed tap, but he was inside the line..

[nitrowaste33]

@KERNZ00 not 2 metres

[stevespepper]

@JaydenFootyStar shut up it wasnt out of bounds there was a better view but not in this vid.

[DARDTV1]

GOAL THE BALL WAS STYL IN

[RiversideMFCK]

The 5 minute warning always comes on at the most dramatic moment of the game!! Love itt!!! Love daisy!!

[MetalValve23]

In or out?? who cares he still kicked it and i could watch it all day!!!

[tblamires]

@MetalValve23 good call

[stevespepper]

@MetalValve23 i care it coulda been goal of da year!

[birdhouse000]

@MetalValve23 well the main thing is your a faggot so no one cares

[mike23rules1]

thta was clearly in stuipid umpire

[Tha0uTL0RD]

robbed

[nbattags]

that boundary umpire should rot in hell!

[dalidowicz]

Loving the hatred. Daisy has played amazingly well this year especially in the GFs. Go Pies

[pup2000jd]

which was the the benefit of the doubt go in afl? surely it's play on, there is no way that that umpire could of been certain it was out

[mrbreezeaau]

It was further in the fuckin ball that Harmes whacked in '79

[scaper657634]

0:52, it was cleary in! He's leaning over the line!

[AllSmokeAndMirrors]

Yes, although he brought the ball to his chest look at the angle of his body. He's leaning in enough for it to be in. even so, it was a bloody good goal under pressure. the reff was probably vozza LOL

[zidownage]

The ball was clearly in. Video experts have done a computer calculation to estimate the coordinates of the ball it showed the ball was clearly in. The ball was a good 4 inches inside the line.

The stupid umpires took a wild guess on that decision.

[Ilovehawthorn23]

i hope collingwood get kicked out of the AFL

[scaper657634]

@Ilovehawthorn23 Why, so there's no competition? Pies are the best.

[TheyCallHimRalston]

@scaper657634 ill agree with you i go for hawks as well but i was so happy when pies beats saints, and what good would taking out the team which has the biggest fan base and is one of the oldest clubs it would ruin the competition as it is.

[scaper657634]

@TheyCallHimRalston Yeah. If AFL kicked them out, there'd probably be a massive protest :P

[iswima]

i hate dale thomas, and i hate collingwood, but if that was paid it wouldve been one of the greatest

[dylan6480]

nah i reckon that ball was in still. it dont have to be all in only part of it

[DownDiggaDeDoo]

Who Gives If It Wasn't Counted.... It's Still Fucking Beautiful!!!!!!!!!

[tommyrulez10]

Everyone who is saying it wasn't a goal are just jealous that they arent good enough to kick that goal. The entire ball has to be over the line, even if a part of the ball was on the line it is in, to me it looked in easily but in the end the umpires didnt pay it so everyone should just acknowledge that it was a very skillful goal in the wet that not many players can kick. Dale Thomas is a legend :)

Peace

[eleventhirtytwo]

It was out! 0:53

[tmathe01]

@eleventhirtytwo correct.



[ironkouts31]

that was in. clearly

[dingoDogMan]

@ironkouts31 It was out by a mile. You don't agree with the umpires decision so you clearly have no depth perception or concept of the actual game- that is, AFL- for that matter.

[wansbmg]

well the whole ball didnt look like it was out, so shouldve been goal of the year

[totalrace79]

This is the stupidest rule in AFL, how can a player have both feet out of bounds and still be in play??

[TheMetalGuy01]

0:45 LOL HOMAGAWD

[KKurt8892]

yeah obviously pies supporters are one-eyed, he brought it onto his chest and that was evidently out.

[1leonardellis]

bullshit this was are goal and so what if im are collingwood suppoter his feet were over the line but the ball was still in so that was are goal

[GreeNMagpiE13]

damn umpires hate dale thomas

[CommentOnEverything]

did the pies win this?

[Mistersamsam]

clearly out

[Zozodian]

"it was out of bounds"

"oh my god"

"it was out of bounds!"

[popo4rhcp]

I am a passionate Essendon fan, and I will take most opportunities to pay out the Pies, but this is an amazing goal and even though it looked out of bounds, the umpire didn't call it until the goal was kicked. The umpires have to stick to the decisions that they make or don't make and this is proof of how bad it makes them look

[burtpet]

argue untill ya balls fall little fuckers ,, carnt argue it went through 4 a goal so fuck ya ,, and im a pies supporter 2 ,,,

[axelrox111]

i get so angry that they took the goal off of him! Dx

[1leonardellis]

nah it wasn tout of bouds no chance

[1leonardellis]

lol i know wtf this was not out of bounds if it was then fuck all you pie haterz

[cqtigerland]

dont know how any of you fools can make any judgement from that camera angle which tells you nothing

[jamezjamiezpro]

In true fairness this happens alot of times with many different teams...out is out no matter what amazing act of genius happens after the whistle is blown. This just proves that Collingwood doesn't get any special treatment from the umpires. All you whingers should be happy...now you can show this video to people who think the Pies get favoured!

[hayleybuuubs]

that wa so a goal!,

umpires should of gone to specsavers -__-

[cqtigerland]

@hayleybuuubs

umpire probably did go to specsavers as they are shit

[mgl87]

its a goal

[wansbmg]

@JaydenFootyStar this was definitely in. only a part of the ball has to be on the line for it to be in play, so its pretty obvious it was a bad decision

[TeamPenguin7]

his mad

[jackdaman5]

he from collingwood it dosen't desevre a goal

[MultiCooldude23]

this was not out it was a clear goal!

[ex0ja]

how can it be out of bounds, he was nearly in the centre square!

[NATHANmagyar]

It was out of bounds but still they should of paid the goal... They don't go to the third umpire usually so why do it now?

[rihays29]

dale thomas is the gayest player in afl and the supporters are gay to!!!!

[BioshockFan164]

OUT!!!! Collingwood are gay shits hahaha

[Ekulib]

Good evasiveness, however the actual kick is not that hard to do. Putting it into game situation and stepping two people beforehand is what makes it remarkable. This is coming from an avid collingwood hater and I don't like Pansy Thomas either, but you gotta give credit where credit is fue

[Magga1897]

dale thomas is a pussy he needs to man up he is the biggest pretty boy

[babyduck1]

Pause at 0:22 and you can clearly see its out.

[SubaruuWRX93]

yeh that was clearly out of bounds, he brings the ball up to his chest and steps outside the line. beautiful exectuion tho:D

[Spocq]

Fuck Collingwood

[AussieBrock]

@Spocq Fuck your team.

[MetalValve23]

@JaydenFootyStar ....the commentators thought it waz in u nobs... so did everyone else at the time...who cares if it wasnt paid it was a great kick...oh and Im a saints fan so neck up with ur stupid comments about collingwood supporters just enjoy the footy fags!!

[hack2060]

softest player in the AFL

[AussieBrock]

Who gives a fuck. Dale is a legend already, so he deserves a goal even if it was out. GO COLLINGWOOD FOREVER! ALWAYS WAS A SUPPORTER, ALWAYS WILL!

[43malek]

no one here can say definatly this or that the ball is 5 feet above the line so hard to tell but yea the ball needs to be all the way out.... best non goal ever though :)

[FalamfalaFilms]

that was definitely out

[timmydart15]

WAS GOAL OF THE YEAR!!!!!!

[MegaMonkeyExtreme]

out

[SDLUKEC]

I reckon the umpire should've paid the goal cos we had won that game anyway

[jamabar]

that was out. i hate ten, their 5 minute warning shit dont make sense go channel 7, hopefully channel 9 again in the future.

[danniz69]

fuckn out easy

0:47 loook harder

great stuff but unlucky

[rooboy69]

the whole ball needs to be out....definitely a goal

[rihays29]

thats so not a goal

[BrittPhillips]

Listen - If you need to make some money right now here's a guaranteed way to do it every time...

GuaranteedWayToMakeMoney [dot] com

[AelitaDJShaffer]

not a goal. the ball was out behind the line before he even kicked it.

[fuzzypwnage]

thats a load of crap

[Plagueridden]

Haha, I love how nobody can be on the fence for this. You either hate the Pies or love them. I don't mind the Pies as a team but a very large majority of their supporters, I hate.

That being said, it's blatently obvious that he pulled it into his chest, which was out of bounds. If you can't see that, see a doctor, or stop being so biased.

[jamabar]

i understand you, i am a pies fan i love them, but hate most of the supporters too those disrespectful, feral bogans give the club a bad name.

[Plagueridden]

Yeah, nice to know there are more like you.. couple of my closest mates are Pies supporters, pretty awesome blokes too. Stay cool.

[kissed113]

thats a bloody goal how can u not call that a goal

[texasgold007]

@kissed113 it was out of bounds that why

[woodycoolas]

godd its not paid i HATE daisy

[watsaiswat]

dude it was in he was leaning in when he pulled it into his chest, i dont get my everybody hates collingwood, their a bloody good side

[LHughesy17]

Easily 2 foot out

[tommyquinn109]

fuck u.. dale thomas is better then ud be anyday

[LHughesy17]

Mate I'm a Saint Kilda supporter, you pay those.. That was well and truly a contestant for goal of the year, so many goals are paid from indecisive touches, marks in a pack that clearly have 5 hands on the ball, goals like that should be paid.

[SecretPrincess96]

@LHughesy17 do you still think that now?

[LHughesy17]

@SecretPrincess96 Yes, I was at the game, I saw it, I was sitting in the perfect angle, it was more than 2 foot out.

[tblamires]

the only people that would even think this was out of bounds would be bloody pies haters!

[shufflebailey]

its not a goal... OH MY GOD!

[05swans05]

I reckon it was a goal

[MrSmashngrab]

Thomas, Possibly the BIGGEST flash in the pan player to ever pull on the boots???

And im a pies supporter...

[SubaruuWRX93]

i reckon its out but not because i hate collingwood and daisy;p

but i honestly reckon its out

09 GF St Kilda Vs Westerbulldogs

Saints to win it:D

[notoriousvandal]

umpires have to make descions based on thier pesonal vision, if i was the ump yeah i would have called it out of bounds because i hate that weak dale thomas prick, he looks like some fucking scarecrow

[69HOULIGAN]

that was clearly out

[kimbooooooooooo]

that was definately out of bounds

simple as that

[exwalker1]

what tha hell that was 100% goal

[markwicko]

check out around the 48 - 50 second mark, its the furtherist he takes the ball out, i think the umpires have got this one wrong, remember the ball has to be completely over the line for it to be out

[collingwoodrules]

if only the stupid umps did that 2 the carlton faggots 30 years ago in the 79gf. in the 1979 grand final the ball was cleary out of bounds

[diXondix0ndixoN]

haha every1 hates Thomas for some reason (i <3 him) but the fact of the matter is 1v1 he would fuck you guys up any day of the week on the paddock

nuff said

[jhardyrules13]

i reckon it was out but you just can't call somthing like that out that was amazing

and leave daisy alone you should be calling the bloody soccer players faggots not daisy

[Scruff83]

suck shit thomas. go get a haircut cunt!

[Chris414141]

hahaha dale thomas...what a faggot

[dingoDogMan]

not paying the goal of the century...typical umpires. everyone hates them and there only life achievment is to ruin things such as dale thomas goal of the century. thats all umpires do these days

[TheCclb]

His feet were out but the ball wasnt you stupid ass refs

[jhardyrules13]

umpires dick head refs are for bloody poofe sports like soccer and everyone who knows anything knows it was over but it was such a good atempt we all wanted him to get it

[cudpus]

he was outa bound colling wood suck my balls

[0fficialsite]

That is the non-paid goal OF THE CENTURY

[joffa10]

when he pulled it back into himself his whole body was out of bounds, but I actually dont think the whole ball was over the line at any one time, just too hard to tell though, and nobody can blame the boundary umpire for calling it out

[cheezie760]

when did the umpire not call it?

[SteyrAUG2009]

when he scored the goal becuase the umps are bias cunts. if he missed the ump would say it was in.

[joffa10]

he called it before he kicked the ball, as if the umpire is gonna wait to see if the ball went through the goals or not and then make his decision.

[SteyrAUG2009]

but he did..

[gannon233]

wat r u talking abt

he called it abt 20 to 30 seconds after he kicked the goal

[joffa10]

watch at 0:30 during the slow motion replay, the boundary umpire in the background is about to call it out.

Thats when he called it.

[gannon233]

theres a difference between abt 2 call it and calling it y dont u go back 2 school and learn that u moron

[joffa10]

fuck up mate, clearly you know jack shit about footy, an umpire cannot call a ball out 20 seconds after the event, what school do you go to dickhead???

[gannon233]

hey dickhead u really think i would say wat school i go 2 ur even dumber than i thought i played footy for 9 years so i got a good understanding of the game u clearly r an umpire or u just hate the magpies so y dont u do us all a favour and piss off

[joffa10]

Fuck youre tough.

ohhh youve played footy for 9 years well done, look out, youre a bloody veteran!

im not one to bignote so i wont but ive played for longer and probably a higher standard to you my friend.

I wouldnt be alone in hating the magpies, everybody does

After 16 seconds there was a whistle, which probably was the case. It still looked like the ball was dead on the boundary lin
