I think it's an own goal because it isn't a deflection.
In a feature analysing valid goals most frequently registered as own goals, FIFA Magazine puts forward a definition which may not always conform to current practice in some countries. A series of specially commissioned illustrations show the most common own goal situations, ranging from the straightforward mis-hit backpass to the ball rebounding from the goalpost against the back of the diving goalkeeper and into the net.
The feature concludes, among other points, that although it is not among his official duties, it is the referee who should decide whether a goal is an own goal or not, depending upon the incident and the flight of the ball; a defender must be deliberately involved in the incident to concede an own goal; a forward must always be assumed to be seeking to score and, logical as it may seem but still contrary to occasional practice in some countries, a forward cannot be registered as the scorer simply by putting a defender under pressure but without touching the ball.
Fifa magazine puts forward a definition.....
(also that article is from 1997!)
It only makes logical sense for it to be defined in the way I said, otherwise who is making that decision? The referee? If that was the case different websites/tv channels etc etc would report the goalscorer as different depends on their vague interpretation of how the ball was affected by a player.
By Scum Go To PostCongrats lads.
By n8 dogg Go To PostCongrats boys. I am all bunged up and lethargic, wasn't feeling it tonight. I am sure you wouldn't have done it if I was there.
By inky Go To PostCongrats leds<3
Is it vague as to how the ball was affected today though? Ramos powers the header into the back of the net
Let's say the opposition keeper or a defender taking a free kick hits it from near his own box and its rolling towards the goal. Miles away and in no danger of going in, but technically on target. The defender boots the ball into the top corner.
are you telling me thats not an own goal
are you telling me thats not an own goal
Isn't there a league official(s) who determines whether or not it's an own goal or not? Dubious goals commission, etc. whose job it is to decide on how it's written in the records.
It's probably up to their discretion.

By NinjaFridge Go To PostSherlock lads, Sherlock.
another shit episode
I mean you should distinguish between a small deflection and a huge one in this case.
A shot nicked slightly by a defender, altering the trajectory in a small albeit noticeable way should go in favour of the attacking player.

United now the team with the longest unbeaten run in Europe (16).
Time for that to extend even further with the next 5 games. Really should be winning our games up until the City away fixture (26/02) and even then, should be beating them on current form.

First game back and gets two assists plus Sassuolo thrash Palermo.
However, I am sure a random Slaent XI could thrash Palermo.
Chiellini “We’ve had four tough away fixtures, including Genoa, and lost all of them, so that really has to say something.”

Sad that we only managed a draw, but glad our team can at least score in important moments now. Something I lose faith in during the past 3 years.
Hope our team start to play better from the start. Have had too many games where we were shit the first half.
