Any attempt by Bournemouth to take legal action over the Hawk-Eye blunder which arguably cost them their Premier League status could run into difficulties, thanks to the laws of the game.
The Cherries are yet to instruct lawyers but a discussion over the possibility of a compensation claim is expected to take place in the coming days.
Hawk-Eye were quick to make a public apology after Sheffield United scored a goal in their 0-0 draw with Aston Villa which was not given after the goal-line technology cameras were blocked by players.
