First the BBC fail to give a fair impression of the match. Blackburn did create some chances but I could have sworn that Anelka destroyed their defence on quite a few occasions .... and yet did we see any of those?

 

I know that I was fairly pissed but just can't see how Gavin Peacock was so convinced that the ball was over the line from that slo mo. Looked like it was dead on the line to me.

The ball was over the line.

Blackburn had more attacking play but we had better chances.

I watched the matcch again on MOT'd2, but i was extremely pissed

Did the penalty descisions look as bent as they did "live" at Ewood?

To be honest mate, the Inbreds should have had 3! The Diouf challenge in the first half is very ify and he does not get any of the ball. Some would say a fair shoulder charge but which refs allow that in todays game!

 

The Hunt / Speed pen was a defo as Speed especially seems to trip Roberts but I think the Fortune one was given as much for his earlier foul.

Clearly you weren't in the rather blackburn orientated pub i ended up in, it was hilarious, acording to the lot i was sat with they should have had 7 (yes seven!) penalties, and a definite goal.

 

A hearty day of getting drunk and mocking the blackburn jokers was had by all.

Every penalty call was right in my opinion - given and not given

 

And the ball didn't cross the line

every pen could have been given either way imo...

 

ball did cross the line, which makes it even sweeter!

i thought Blackburn were the better team throughout, but who gives a fcuk

a great day was had by all rough this morning tho

The whole of the ball over the whole of the line. Which makes it NO GOAL.

 

It also means Pedderson was taking his corner from a legitimate position when we had the ref go take a look.

Was sat 20 rows up directly behind that part of the goal. I saw at least 4-5 inches of grass between ball and goal line paint. Everyone around us agreed it was a goal. The ref was unsighted but if the lines man had been on the other side it would have been given.

when it happened i dint think it was over the line but the replay shows grass. should have been a goal without doubt imo.

the ball was fractionally over the line

 

skys graphic thing shows as much

 

no way dean could've been sure though

 

probably should have favoured the attacking team, but thats the way it goes

If it was a goal then Dean must have decided to give them a penalty to redress the balance. They couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo so he said, "fcuk off Nolan, I'll be giving them another in a couple of minutes."

It's a good job time ran out on them!

You can only see grass because the ball is slightly in the air. I have seen a lot of replays but they are all from the same angle and from that angle it is not possible to tell. I am not saying it is definitely not over the line I just think that from that angle nobody can say that it is over or not.
