Imagine you scored and no one notices it 😢

[@Ese96Agoaye]

Imagine if you don't score, and the linesman thinks you did?

[@The_Boogeyman993]

Worst part is the goal wasn't given

[@chris.48]

Same shi happened to me(Sunday league). So u scored but didn’t celebrate because my team was pissing me off but unfortunately for me there was a hole in the net and the ball went through and went out so the ref said it wasn’t a goal because well “I didn’t celebrate” 😭😭

[@SimBir08]

Imagine scoring but the ball goes through a hole in side netting so the ref doesn't give it

"Only once has a goal been scored without anyone seeming to notice." Or it may have happened dozens of times, it's just that nobody has noticed it yet. That's the problem: it's difficult to notice things not being noticed.

[@zen-isaacreymo4016]

Maybe in non-recorded football but in recorded football every goal's getting noticed by SOMEONE

[@R.MadridMessi-Cr7Barca]

Mark Hughes..one of the finest football Volleyers ever. During the 98/99 season at Southampton he received a total 14 yellow cards a record that has not been exceeded to date(Palhinha still has the chance)..no wonder when you have joke of a situations like this you are left with nothing but frustration.. though it doesn't change the fact he had disciplinary issues throughout his career...

[@JarvisPen]

I am pretty sure Lee Cattermole broke that mold.

[@R.MadridMessi-Cr7Barca]

@@JarvisPen Mark Hughes ain't the only player to receive 14 yellow cards during a season in Premiere league Era.. there are 6 other players along with him who are tied on this & Lee cattermole is one of them.

[@Spectrescup]

The reverse of this happened in a Chelsea match in about 1972, against Ipswich i think. Alan Hudson hit a shot which went wide but through a hole in the side-netting, ending up inside the goal. Neither Hudson nor his teammates appealed or celebrated, and to their bemusement and Ipswich's fury, the referee insisted it was a goal. It stood, and Chelsea won 2-1.

[@TheStory-FactTeller]

[@WhyheIIothere]

Lets shut city down

[@Powergenetic]

Similar thing happened earlier this season for my team (QPR) against West Brom, albeit it was a handball. An unlikely overhead kick from outside the box by Steve Cook was saved off the line by a spectacular diving header from Cedric Kipre ... Only it wasnt a header at all. He had dived for the ball but then moved his hand and slapped it away unbeknownst to ANYONE in the crowd. I sit right behind the goal in the upper loft and from my angle it looked like a header but replays have shown it was a sneaky handball lol.

[@shesh32]

Well off to St.Mary's stadium and there's been a goal, but for who Chris Kamara? .... I dunno Jeff. Has it? I must have missed that.

Only once… that we know of 👀

[@totalhydration5240]

that board should be a goalie

[@alanrichardson1816]

Nah, we just didn't notice the rest

[@PatataMaxtex]

The reverse happened in Germany some years ago when the ball hit the goals net from the outside and went through a hole that went unnoticed before. The ball was inside the goal and a goal was given but tv cameras noticed it. One of the moments were the VAR would have helped

[@joeltiemens9015]

Yes, i was thinking about that moment to. With the striker Kießling from bayer leverkussen if im correct

[@tegathemenace]

POV: You try some trickshot and fail in front of everyone. You then do it and they weren't looking so they say you're capping 😭

[@MrTim207]

If you notice this notice you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing

[@TheForszler]

Soon you will notice that This notice is worth noticing if u notice that the notices are useless but still notices while being a notice.

[@jpick3113]

How do we know it was a goal? Tv perspective post game?

[@David-cs3nn]

I remember watching it on Match of the Day. I don't think it was a feature game. But the camera angle made it clear it hit the advertising hoarding. Also, it was part of footballing culture not to complain to referees.

[@willbee7925]

Astonishing video, did you see how the ball bounced in and out of goal? 😂😂

[@BlackEdgedKatana]

his stint at man city was similarly unnoticed

[@wccr7]

So how does this even get resolved, and how do we know it went in

[@floppytnarwal1641]

I was at the game, a lot of the fans, including myself, had seen it go in and did cheer but then couldn't believe when the ref disallowed it

[@floppytnarwal1641]

I remember this, I was at the game! We did cheer and couldn't believe when the ref disallowed it.

[@user-dg8ue6sf7h]

It also happened when mason mount scored for man united i dont remember the team he scored against and i dont remember how he scored it

[@skar5541]

Still never forget Chris Kamara on Sky Sports. Absolute classic moment.

[@knutvoberg4236]

Everyone took notice in 2013 that Kießling did the opposite for Leverkusen against Hoffenheim!

[@RogerSmith1984]

How much was a player like Hughes on at Southampton at the time? And I wonder how much a player of today with similar calibre and reputation would get for ending their career at Southampton

[@stressedworried8615]

I remember watching it in match of the day! The commentator noticed, as did mark hughes who appealed with his arms raised but no one listened! Though I was the only one who remembered!!

[@geph5708]

Kinda different but I remember when Man Utd played Bilbao (I think) in the Europa League, Bilbao played them off the pitch and whilst the tv was still showing the replays of the goal they just scored, they went straight from kick off and scored again so when the cameras went back to showing the live game, it was so confusing cus the players were all celebrating again

[@_sl6412]

- YEEESSS! I scored! - nuh uh

[@TDBTylerable]

Feels more like a "huh, did you?" with no-one really reacting xD

[@sametozkan9175]

Aly Dya never shared pitch with Le Tissier for Southampton against Leeds not in 1999, but in 1996 and they should have been kept Dya.

[@Anonymous-fr2op]

The correct title should be: "the goal that people noticed went unnoticed"😂😂

[@nicksummers-vt4pt]

I was in the away end at Aston Villa v Arsenal in their INVINCIBLES season. Thierry Henry scored a quick free kick and no one around me reacted as we were all looking at the moniter showing Skysports news which was being shown in a box behind us.

[@paulmason7510]

Swear that’s an image of Wayne bridge and not mark Hughes lol

[@ShaunLevett]

Not watched this yet, but I guess it's Mark Hughes for Southampton when then ball flew in and hit the hoarding behind, making it bounce straight back. So it looked like it went wide to the ref and linesman.

[@user-gu9rm1kz4t]

he the only one noticed and wait until today to make this short 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@selbfabi]

It happened to me iin a rinkhockey match in our Bundesliga (first Division). The Ball hit a bar behind the goal line and jumped back. Referee didnt notice. It is even recorded and you can still watch it on yt

[@westie0113uk]

I knew straight away it was Mark Hughes when the video started. As a Leeds fan i hated him from his Man U playing days so I was double happy when he scored (or didn't score)

[@TheCzechLad_]

You’d think that would happen often when the advertising boards are right behind the goal 😂

[@matthewshaw8143]

Surely you'd notice/hear it hit the advertising board though? So surely a goal kick would have been given instead

[@lindsaydavis4188]

Ref thought it hit the post.

[@jitttttah]

Bros name-calling 🔥🔥

[@ThatBloxy]

"nobody noticed" The players left the chat

[@monty28j]

Then how do you know? If nobody saw it then how can you know it was a goal?

[@MrHenhen5]

Probably footage? They probably knew after the game when Hughes told people and they reviewed the footage.

[@christianlenik5307]

I wonder what VAR would say

[@drunkenairguitar]

Well there you go. I always thought it was Le Tissier who scored this non-goal.

Reminds me of the Jesse Lingard goal at the Emirates that oddly flew out after going in off the post at hitting the mic or camera (I forget) in behind the goal. Ofc nowhere near as odd as this

[@BellamyGaming0]
