@StarSpangledRed Are you really that dense?
The possibility of clearing it was Veiga going for his header - with better contact, it WOULD have been cleared and not sent whiffing behind him for a goal that was reversed because of phantom hair touching the ball.
You are talking AFTER he scuffs it

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@StarSpangledRed nah, you've lost your mind if you think that wasn't a deliberate play on the ball

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@UTDRico8 Ball coming unexpected? He had time to adjust himself left and lower his head attempting to clear it - his poor touch shouldn't mean that it's now an unintentional "deflection" - this is nonsense.
Terrible call, regardless of the phantom hair touch.

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@gongas23 @Edgar_Anjo @KyleKulinski Nah - a header in attempt of clearance IS considered "control" of the ball - when it's a deliberate play like this one obviously and clearly was.

If that were the case, no header would EVER be considered a "controlled pass"...

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@toddakavincent @dawood__97 Nonsense, that is NOT what it says - if that were the case, no header would EVER be considered a "deliberate" play on the ball. That is obviously not true.
A "deflection" is about intent - which Veiga CLEARLY had to play the ball.

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@_collinnnn @elitechads @ZwebackHD Oh ok - care to explain why? I'd love to hear how someone can "accidentally" take steps to their left and lower their head directly onto an incoming cross

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@Khalifathavoice @A_the_Almighty @coli_angelo @KINGBRONK @BBCMOTD ....He was offside when it touches the hair, sure - but then when Veiga makes a deliberate play on the ball (which he clearly and obviously re-positions himself to do), that played him back on-side again.

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@A_the_Almighty @coli_angelo @KINGBRONK @BBCMOTD So it's not possible he made a poor contact - every player always touches the ball and directs it EXACTLY where they intend....do you hear yourself?

He tried to clear the ball and failed...that does NOT mean he didn't make a deliberate play on the ball, which cancels off-side.

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@Ande46343Mister @TezieRo @CFCMods It "brushed his head" (it was more than that) because he positioned himself poorly, not because it was unintentional...
He DELIBERATELY stepped to his left and lowered himself down directly into the ball's path - that doesn't happen incidentally/indeliberately.

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@mams_jlt @juanmartinporo @dariolega1970 @Footballtweet Uhh, maybe when it's too fast to react or not seen coming, that might be unintentional? That clearly isn't the case here, this is a cross coming over that Veiga literally takes steps to his left and lowers his head directly onto...
If you think that's "Exactly" a deflection...wow

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@PSGINT_ #20's hair touch is actually irrelevant - what matters is #13 Veiga stepping left and lowering his head directly onto the ball's path, a clear and deliberate play on the ball, not an unintentional "deflection", which reset any off-side.
This goal should have stood, bad call.

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@PepperOniOff @rajatsuri Veiga made a clear and deliberate play on the ball, stepping left and lowering his head - it does NOT need to be a pass, only deliberate contact. Any off-side, whether the sensor detected hair or not, was reset and the goal should have stood.

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@TezieRo @CFCMods Nonsense - Veiga stepped to his left and lowered his head DIRECTLY into the ball's path - it couldn't have been any more of a deliberate play on the ball.
That should have reset any off-side and the goal should have stood. Terrible result.

[David Berry @dhberry313]

@flowrtz__styles It's a goal regardless - what matters is #13 Veiga stepping left and lowering his head directly onto the ball's path, a clear and deliberate play on the ball, not an unintentional "deflection", which reset any off-side.
This goal should have stood, bad call.
