The Bournemouth Football Board is expected to consider whether to take any legal action on the goal-line technique mistake that occurred at Aston Villa and Sheffield United last June, and which resulted in it being relegated from the Premier League.
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reported that officials of "Falcon Eye" technology apologized to Sheffield for not counting a goal in the match, after the ball crossed the goal line.
The match ended in a goalless draw, and Aston Villa finished the season one point behind Bournemouth, who dropped from the Premier League.
Bournemouth is holding a meeting this week to discuss the matter, and so far no instructions have been issued to the lawyers.
After the mistake of June 17, "Falcon Eye" officials said in a statement that "the seven cameras in the stands around the goal area were blocked by the goalkeeper, the defender and the goalkeeper. No such blocking had occurred before during the 9,000 games they were in." Goal-line technology (Falcon Eye) is available. "
The statement added, "Falcon Eye technology apologizes unreservedly to the League, Sheffield United, and all those affected by this incident."
At this time, the authority responsible for match officials in English football stated that the Video Assistant Referee (Var) technique did not interfere because of the unique circumstance, and stated that it would review in the future how to deal with similar events. "
The IFFB rules stipulate that "in principle, the outcome of a match cannot be invalidated due to a malfunction in the video assistant referee technology."
