That was over, once again the extra officials do absolutely nothing...

 

[slbenficacoach]

Woohooo, goal-line refs, very useful XD

 

[ajt09]

Lucky more like was caught out in first place and ball was over the line lucky jt

Maybe. But we could've caught them out with our counter too. If it hadn't have crossed the line it would have been a spectacular GL clearance. Instead it strengthens the case for GL technology

Milevsky was offside in the build up to the goal. It was over the line but it shouldn't have got that far. Should've been flagged offside.

 

[Silverfoxx]

Wow Milner can cross the ball and not over hit it by 20 yards :O

Or better linesman to spot the offside?

 

[craig curtis]

Good substitution!

 

[slbenficacoach]

One thing does not excuse the other In doubt, the principle is to let play go on to attacking side.

It excuses the other as offside decision means goalline clearance wouldn't have happened.

Good save by hart and defence by lescott.

 

[slbenficacoach]

Either you didn't get it or you didn't want to get it.
The fact that it was offside and it was not signalled, does not excuse that they didn't see the ball inside the net.
And in football if's are very relative and most of the times pointless, like your initial point, it leads nowhere.

Gotta love the ITV commentator "Hart had trouble stopping that Whizzbanger" lol

Hope Terry at the end of the game has a chat with Shevchenko

"Here Shevvy long time no see we bought this guy last year for 50mill, not a relative of yours is he called Torres?"

5th official missed the goal? Yes.
Was it injustice? No. As player was offside in the buildup and if the goal was given England would have been robbed AGAIN in the major tournament.

 

[craig curtis]

Dont think walcott has touched the ball yet?

 

[W4NKER]

Germany would still have won even after Lamplard's 'goal'

 

[craig curtis]

Will be interesting vs france defence v defence

 

[craig curtis]

Will be interesting vs italy defence v defence

 

[rephlex]

Likely, but you can't deny the Lampard goal would have come at a good time to change momentum, and if you don't understand the importance of momentum in football you really ought to. Walcott has been pretty useless so far (though chamberlain had a good chance to link it up to him but slightly too delayed..)

In this case it probably was a goal, hopefully UEFA will go and roll out proper goal line tech now that England has finally benefitted from that at a major tournament, and make it fair for everyone at the highest level.
