KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum another refereeing howler

I`m far from John Terrys biggest fan but at least he was honest in his interview , had i been playing for Chelsea i would definitely have been claiming a goal , afterall the officials should have spotted something so obvious.

Felt quite a deep feeling of sorrow for the Spuds after that almost unbelievable calamatous error, and felt that apart from a 15 minute surge, their heads dropped, and they suddenly collapsed when they realised the clock was no longer in their favour.

If that'd been us, I'd have been almost suicidal.

Honesty my ar5e!! If you get chance to watch the game again, Pay paticular attention to the scene after the goal was wasn't scored. There was a Spuds player questioning the Ref, when Terry comes into the shot and starts telling the player it was a goal infront of the ref.

Be honest what would Liverpool do in that situation. The only player who was ever honest was Robby Fowler against I think Aresnal away when he went up to the ref and told him it was not a penalty. I respected him massively for that. But he is the only player I have every heard of doing that.

Don't remember that.
What happened? Did the ref blow for a peno and then decide against it on 'Gods' say so?

As I seem to remember it, Fowler pointed to the spot where he was going to put it, the keeper saved it and I think it was Mcateer put in the rebound??

Here is the incident lads

Amazing. Bloody refs, yet again though ey?

At the end of the day, we've been calling for goal-line technology for years.

There are no negatives in giving the ref a look at a replay, it takes 5 seconds, 10 max to decide the right decision.

I understand people that say, "well, if you bring this in, football won't be the same, we won't have anything to talk about"

It's not like your gonna get a "was it, or wasn't it a goal" hundreds of times in one game. They happen, but they don't all happen in one game.

It should have been brought in years and years ago, when it was available....and they haven't.

I honestly feel, if it happens again, no matter what the game being played or for is. Get the team to walk of the pitch and refuse to play the game.

They'll soon introduce it then, when people take a stand against playing the football match.

If I was the ref today, I'd have sent of Cech and still awarded the goal. He took Adebayor out, end of. It's a red. If the ball falls to someone else and they score, so what. The goal stands. The punishment remains.

If a player headbutts another on the pitch, and the ref see's it. But the ball is in play, and he allows the game to play on until the ball is dead. He'll send that player of when the move has died.

What's the difference?
