According to MOTD last night, it wasn't over the line. They used their super specially accurate goal-line technology to show it. Problem is, the lads on Goals on Sunday used their own goal-line technoogy to show that the ball was over the line. One of them is wrong, so how do you prove it?

They need goal line cameras.

TBH, Any of these decisions that have to be debated on tv and shown using computer generated gadgetry are dubious. How in the name of god can a linesman have been 100% sure that was over the line? He cant. Surely it shouldnt be given if theres any doubt.

If people with multiple camera angles and replays after the match can't be 100% sure then the linesman cant at the time(regardless of wht Des thinks:)I'm sure if it happen agianst Bordeaux there'd be hell to pay).

Eaxactly. A camera that can only see the width of the line mounted in each post puts an end to it once and for all.

no they don't need goal line cameras. this really annoys me, imagine how much time it would waste waiting on a TV judge trying to decide if yesterdays was fully over. what they need is a sensor in the ball and in the goal frame which sends a signal to the Refs armband like when the linesman put the flag up. so if it vibrates (or sends some sort of signal) it means it was over the line. simple. play doesnt slow down and we're all happy.

Teh have the ball sensor in Tennis do they not? and it's always getting quetioned.EDIT actually I think they have a different system that doesnt seem 100%.It also involves a ot of messign with footballs. Cameras are th esimplest way. Theres no questioning visual evidence. It would take 5 secs to press rewind and look again. If the camera can only see the width of the line theres no rechecking. 1 look, if the whole ball doesnt dissapear off camera into the goal, no goal.

I just dotn think a sensore system would be as 100% reliable as video evidence.

Purely because theres a lot less involved with a over the line football goal. In rugby they have much more to look at. ie feet in touch, there might be a pile of players etc. With goal line cameras they are really only looking to see if they can see the ball at all. If they cant then it'll be an obvious goal or it wont have go close enough to the line to even warrant debate.

Nice little twirrly jump from Cahill when Ronaldo took his shot.:)

Chardee MacDennis

Good win for United although overall thought that was a poor game.

Big win, looked like it would end in a stalemate there...

if it wasn't for that Reading background I would have struggled to identify him! I think he's quite Rory Gallagher-esque, not in that photo, just generally...a 70s throwback

PHB

What a stupid stupid foul, jesus like, give us the game.
Terrible game from United, Carrick is just not looking good in midfield anymore, don't know whats happened to him. Anderson and Hargreaves is by far the best combo we have. Ronaldo wins the game, incredible performance against the best form team outside the top 4, MOM and an amazing goal.

We got a goal like it three weeks ago. Ref was in the centre circle, no linesman, how he saw it I'll never know, last minute, we won 3-2 :D

1-2 Derby, Miller with a tidy finish after some poor defending.

Wow, go on the Derby!

2-2 Viduka with his second

Interesting that the likes of Pearson, Miller and Ross Wallace are doing well in the premiership. People go on about Celtic playing against rubbish teams but it's still very easy for a player to look out of his depth at Celtic.

Just flicked on th eChelsea - Blackburn game, anyone know what happened to Cech?
