Well, Arsenal had a draw as did ManU against Tottenham. It sounds like the refs screwed the hell out of Tottenham. Even the ManU fans on the board are admitting it.

Well, Chelsea wins the 2004-2005 EPL title.

Apparently Tottenham scored a goal late in the game that was ruled null by an off-side that was not an off-side. Everyone agrees that it was a horrible call.

Oh well, at least there is still a shot at the CL.

Apparently that was a VERY bad call.

Even worse than I thought. It was not an off-side. Tottenham unleashed a half-pitch shot at goal that Carrol messed up (why am I not surprised) and the ball crossed the goal line by a yard. Carroll swiped it before the ref could make a call.

Tottenham had a clear goal. So bloody typical for Man U to get away with crap like that.
Here is the photo. Now...tell me if this is over the line or not?



'It's been......emotional'.

Yep, as long as you are not at Old Trafford that is a goal.

WOW! I didn't realize it was so blatant. I mean I invisioned maybe a ball's diameter or something of that nature, not several feet. I wonder what Roy Carrol was thinking when the linesman said it wasn't a goal because you know he knew.

A couple more gaffes by Mr Carrol and TIMMY! might get another shot. Of course the more likely scenario is ManU grabbing Van De Saar or Cudicini or someone else of the sort.

Man, if that had hit the back of the net and bounced into play, I guess he would've said "play on." That's horrible.

it looks like that call might finally get some more technology in football.

Even Fergie is behind it...and he benefitted from the call.

That is a bad angle on the shot, it was not that far in. If you looked at that shot straight down it was very close.

Very close???
WTF!

Very close, like the moon is 'very close' to earth, right?

Take a look at the keeper's shadow, his arm is definitely in the goal a good distance. The FA is going to be under some heat to add a second referee or add more technology based systems for goals and offside.
