What I don't understand is ....

[abbeylands]

.... if the linesman was unsighted why didn't he move so he could see the goal line. He knows that is what he is there for!! The photo's show him standing on the corner sport - moving 1 yard away would have given him a perfect view.

He has no excuse

[abbeylands]

Can we sue if we go down!!

[PeterG]

He was in a perfect position but if you think about it the ball will have been partially obscured by the goalkeepers arm

its a howler but i can understand why he could have got it wrong and he did only get to see it once at full speed

How can a ball headed down come off the underside of the cross bar and out?

The linesman needs to face a proper punishment for this. Not a demotion to the Championship for 2 games or a month off.

He proved that he can't do his job, therefore he shouldn't do it again.

who said it did

[jmelanie]

Fox Sports in the US said "who paid him to ignore that goal?"

[winalotto]

As the ball was scooped out it came off the underside of the cross bar and out, if the ball had hit the bar directly from Hill's header it couldn't have come off the cross bar that way, its so unnatural it had to have been in and out..

It's such a bad decision it does look corrupt!

Hmm. I `ve got an idea.
I will investigate the matter.

Same Lino who disallowed Adebayor's goal at Stoke for offside when he was yards onside and spurs went on too loose just like us.

Clearly makes a habit of getting the big decisions wrong

[jmelanie]

Should have gone to Specsavers.

Leave it to the FA, they'll wait til the final day of the season to make a decision
