Topic: Goal line


  
  Goal (ice hockey) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A goal is scored when a puck completely crosses the goal line within the goal frame.
For a goal to be scored, the puck must entirely cross the goal line between the posts and under the crossbar of the goal frame.
The goal judge is an official positioned off ice behind each goal for the specific purpose of indicating when the puck has crossed the goal line and entered the goal.

 Football Commentary: Goal-Line Gambles
Offenses do not always go for the touchdown when the ball is officially at the 1-yard line, but even if they did, the observed success rate would be an upward-biased estimate of the probability of success when the ball is really one yard from the goal.
Consequently, among cases in which the ball was officially at the 1-yard line and the offense chose to go for it, we expect that the average distance from the goal was significantly less than a yard.
Kansas City was less than half a yard from the goal line—probably closer than the average even for teams that go for it when it's officially 4th-and-goal at the 1-yard line.

 WriteDesign On-Line - Goal Setting
Goal setting is one of the most important ongoing tasks we face in life.
Setting realistic goals that serve a purpose with realistic deadlines usually results in, dare I say it, a form of success.
Too often we set really great goals and go through the steps that lead to their accomplishment, only to find out that "what we wished for was not what we wanted," and sometimes those outcomes are much better than we expected.

 RTÉ.ie Sport - Sheringham backing goal-line technology
Sheringham's side benefitted from a refereeing mistake at the weekend when Middlesbrough defender Chris Riggott was deemed to have scored an own goal, despite television replays proving goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer kept the ball out.
The goal proved decisive as Boro went down to a 2-1 defeat and manager Steve McClaren was furious after the match.
It never was a goal in my opinion and it's time now to use technology because there's so much money in the game now, we have to try and get it right," Sheringham said.

 Goal line technology for WC
Technology to determine whether the ball has crossed the goal line will be ready for next year's World Cup finals in Germany, says FIFA president Sepp Blatter.
Blatter has welcomed the technology, which involves a microchip sensor in a ball sending a signal to the referee when it has crossed the goal line.
Blatter is a staunch opponent of the use of video evidence in matches and cited Liverpool's controversial goal against Chelsea in their Champions League semi-final as a reason why cameras should never be used to help resolve goal line disputes.

Mendes' speculative strike from the halfway line comfortably crossed the goal-line after an error from United keeper Roy Carroll.

"Was that a goal?" is a question that always seems to be on the lips of fans, players, coaches and referees, and not just since England's infamous third goal during the 1966 FIFA World Cup™ final at Wembley.
At its meeting at the Miskin Manor hotel, the Board listened to a presentation by long-term FIFA partner adidas, who together with the German company, Cairos AG and the German Fraunhofer Institute have developed a system with a prototype of a ball with an embedded electronic chip.
Moreover, the Board clarified the explanation of a player being offside "if he is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second last opponent".

 deseretnews.com | MWC should get goal-line cameras
If instant replay in the league proves anything at all, it is a dire need for the ultimate, definitive, conclusive standard of interpreting if a football held by an offensive player actually crossed the goal line.
For instance, during BYU's season opener with Boston College, a regional ABC TV game, the producer had eight cameras and two were on the goal line.
No insult intended, but if the MWC leaves the outcome of its games to this year's flesh and blood officials, with their reputation, we'd be better served deciding the league champion with Sony PlayStations.

 Goal line - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The goal line is the chalked or painted line dividing the end zone from the field of play in Canadian football and American football.
If any member of the offensive team is downed while in possession of the ball and at or behind the goal toward which the other team is striving, this is called a safety and scores two points for the defensive team.
