Revision as of 16:29, 15 December 2005 by Mjefm (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)In English football, the job of the Dubious Goals Panel is to determine the official scorers of goals in the Barclays Premiership. This usually involves goals scored from deflected shots, and requires the panel to judge whether or not to credit the goalscorer or an own goal. Their most high-profile ruling was the first goal of Liverpool's 3-0 win over Wigan Athletic on 3rd December 2005. There was popular demand to credit much-maligned Liverpool striker Peter Crouch with the goal, although the shot took a deflection and was then dropped over the line by Wigan goalkeeper Mike Pollitt.
Selected decisions
- Peter Crouch scored first goal for Liverpool against Wigan Athletic on 3rd December 2005, as opposed to Mike Pollitt (o.g).
- Zurab Khizanishvili (o.g) replaces Joe Cole in Chelsea's 4-2 win over Blackburn Rovers on 29th October 2005.
