STOP IT, STOP IT, STOP IT!!!
The Linesman didn't give a goal, the referee didn't give a goal, so it wasn't a goal.
Whether it was over the line or not is irrelevant.
Whether it was a goal is the important bit.
The linesman AND the referee say NO.
Now stop pontificating and let us all move on PLEASE?
Precisely! A long thread an a vote - and it is all entirely meaningless. Move on. I mean, no one ever mentions the 1966 goal in the WCF at Wembley do they!!??
Luckily the top secret Russian government agency satellite image processing facility was on top of things that day. Combined with a highly experimental prototype thought transference device they were able to give the Russian linesman an almost instant decision...and England won the world cup.
True story that.
PS - I wish folk would stop "pontificating" that other folk should "move on", that this discussion is "meaningless, pointless and irrelevant". This is an internet message board. If meaningless, pointless and irrelevant discussion were to stop there would be virtually nothing left to read Jimsing.... you'd outlaw the word association thread with that kind of Stazi jackboot censorship.
If the good burgers of PASOTI see fit to also make this thread 2000+ pages long with successive
"oh no it wasn't" and "oh yes it was" posts then so be it. I like that sort of reactionary civil disobedience in the face of being told to "move on" :lol:
