EFL have released a statement that basically apologises to Town but without those words being used. System issues with hawk eye. Goal should have been given and a draw would have been a fair result. However, that's the third game I've been to this season and I think it was the worst I've seen us play. We don't look to be getting any better, can't see where a clean sheet is coming from and don't look capable of scoring many goals from open play this season. Really missed the boat not signing a midfielder last week, still think that we miss O'Brien more than Corberan. Reckon that's why he hop footed it and left, cos he could see the writing on the wall and wanted to leave with his reputation in tact. I'd give Schofield another two games but if it's two more defeats then I'm afraid to say he should be releaved of his duties. “The EFL is incredibly frustrated that a technology failure at Huddersfield Town and Blackpool has overshadowed a fantastic weekend of action on the pitch. We have now received an initial assessment from Hawk-Eye, the providers of the Goal Line Technology service in the Championship, that during a second-half incident with Huddersfield attacking, the match officials did not receive a signal to their watch or earpiece as, due to multiple factors, the ball was no longer being tracked following it entering the Blackpool goal area. Separately, PGMOL have confirmed officials were unsighted due to obstruction by players and therefore unable to award a goal. While the system was tested and functional prior to the start of the game, further information is expected from both Hawk-Eye and PGMOL following a full review of the incident. Technology is there to support the decision-making processes of match officials in the Championship and it failing in such a manner on Sunday is a matter of great concern. For clarity, the referee’s decision is final and the match result stands.” Unluckiest club in the country these last few months Surely to God the ref uses his eyes first. The linesman on Kilner side knew it was in. You could see it in his body language. But cos the technology says no the daren't say anything in case their proved wrong later. This way they blame the technology. |

Blackpool's fans view of the game is fair: avftt.co.uk/index.php?threads/huddersfield-were-awful.35463/My personal favourite: Huddersfield's defence was awful. Gave the ball away at least three times in front of goal. Their attack was impotent and they had no idea where the goal was. Their midfield was just poor. Apart from that they were pretty good.That bloke further down say he couldn't see Town scoring. Well to be fair they did. Was that bloke the referee? 😄 |

Test that fucking watch before the Ref dissapears down the tunnel I find it f*****g bewildering that on the face of it they did NOTHING to test if the technology failed. Surely when there is so much evidence to suggest it MIGHT have, you test it.... ....but Radio Leeds said they didn't.... The Ref only had to see the slumped shoulders on the Blackpool players to realise that it had gone in. At that point he could have asked the goalie to move the ball back and forth across the line to check whether it was working. But no he let it go. There was a point when the Ref had one of our players kick the ball across the pitch to change it, but I can't think just when it was, it did seem strange at the time. |

Sunday's match was my 5-yr-old son's first town match, all the way from Madrid and sat alongside his grandma and grandad in the kilner bank stand. Remarkably he can't wait to go back (our next visit will be the home game vs Swansea in November). He did remark that the Blackpool fans were very loud and he heard lots of naughty words being shouted. Hope we can score a goal next time!

It did seem odd, but then the ball changed a couple more times at throw ins, I presumed there was some sort of multi-ball thing going on. Maybe the Ref thought there was a problem with it, though it seemed to coincide with it going miles over the back and onto the concrete as well. The Ref had a crap game in general, but that's another story... |

I'm not sure many Ref's would have gone to those lengths, I've certainly never seen that happen when it's close but no goal is awarded, they trust the tech implicitly & 99% of the time it's spot on. However, as someone else has pointed out, did it buzz for their goal? But it might have been working then, plus it wasn't a melee on the goal line for their goal either, so it probably did go off. Anyway, we now have another villain, Hawkeye is added to the pathetic way the FA manages VAR. I bet the EFL was pleased about the small amount of media coverage at least, just a shame for them it came on the same weekend as VAR was stealing the headlines again... Have we had an apology from Hawkeye yet? |

I agree with the insipid part, but it would have changed the dynamic of the game, got the crowd revved up, so who knows. It would have been unfair on Blackpool had we won, a draw would have been the most honest result for those 2 teams on the day. |

We weren't very good but went on to win after a lateish equaliser |

We weren't very good but went on to win after a lateish equaliser Reversals of last seasons games where draws were fair but we sneaked em with a set piece, which are not working for us, as yet, this season. I fancy us with Pearson, Helik, Lees , Mbete etc.. Stick Russell and Ward in there and you have a good physical presence. We lost a poor game due to a defensive error and a goal that was not given. We didnt play well, we didnt show enough urgency or support for the ball in forward positions, but these faults can be sorted. I would really like to see players now and again turning up in the oppositions half where they are not supposed to be. We are slow and predictable, which if we defended better and took more advantage of set pieces wouldnt be too bad. Its not over, yet. |
