From the replay we can see, that is not a goal.

You are seeing a lot more than any of the commentators or anyone else can see. From every angle all commentators say they are not sure. Fair play to you for being positive where so many others are not.

The kicking the ball away bull**** should be punished,

When he kicked it towards the corner flag when it was a Liverpool corner? Cost precious seconds that...

Nice shot of the Chelsea Physio there.

It's not a great call though It's a flukey guess. I guarentee he doesnt know for sure. The doubt has to be removed.

And how do you know. He got it right so should get his fair credit. If he got it wrong he'd be slated

MagicMarker

Great defending from Terry!

copacetic

Carroll excellent since he came on, turned it around and well on top for last 30 mins. No good if you can't finish chances though.

The TV angles aren't clear enough to tell if ball was over the line or not, so don't see how ref or assistant can possibly give it.

Nuri Sahin

Good block by Lionheart.

kryogen

Terry is being really lazy in the defense playing people onside unnecessarily

PCPhoto

pretty poor game by my reckoning !!

Ball scratching....time runs away from you when you are doing that.

I've never seen a defender block more with his back sliding than terry, he's some man for them blocks! Mata deservedly MOTM imo, next in line Ramires then Carroll even though he's only been on about half an hour if even

Sgt Pepper 64

Chelsea think they are playing Barca again!

Will I Amnt

Dalglish will be kicking himself for not starting Carroll if they lose this.
Best player on the pitch by a country mile.

Only the most biased of supporters would think it was over the line but carry on..........

You're mad in the head. You don't give credit where credit is due. You tear into people who get decisions wrong but you don't praise them when they're right. We don't take kindly to your kind around here.

Suarez will obviously go straight for the assistant after the final whistle.

Jesus Wept

fml, ricky had to just pass it.

Yep. Poor first 70 in general. Bit more exciting since Carroll game in in fairness, but the long ball up to him are hit and miss.

The_B_Man

ITV (Andy Townsend) gave Mata man of the match.

Anyone watching ESPN? Who did they give it to?

Sgt Pepper 64

seriously, can bose not pass? just whacks it back to pool every time

I know because there is absolutely no way he can be sure. The players involved cant even say without doubt, if they were being honest. It happens that quick that even if he was stanidng on the post lookign at it he'd need a replay.

kryogen

Some similarities between United the other night and Chelsea now, just hoofing it away and giving Liverpool the initiative, they shouldnt be inviting them on

You don't know the rules or you don't know if it was in? The rules state that the whole of the ball must cross the whole of the line.

No I mean isn't a goal given once all the ball travels past the near side of the solid white line (ie the ball doesn't have to completely pass all the paint of the goalline to count?)

If so then I wouldn't consider that as "all of the ball over all of the line"

kryogen

Silly tackle

Is it sad that I never really believed?

Mata man of the match!!!!
He was muck

Yeah he wasn't sure so he couldn't give it. That in itself is the correct decision. As it turned out, it was the correct correct decision. Green marks all round for the lino!

Jesus Reina again.

lol Reina!

Ah Kalou should have burried it!

So this might answer a question I've had for a while.

Do they actually choose the MoM, or is it some independent third party that chooses MoM and then passes it to all the TV stations and they claim they chose the MoM themselves?

Coz ITV said it as if Andy Townsend decided it.

Mr.Crinklewood

Joke of a decision from Reina.

And only the most foolish of fools would say that they were sure it was not over the line when there is no camera anywhere that shows it wasn't. No commentator on any channel from any angle can say either way but people on here can... Yeah must be the bias.

But if the linesman does not know for sure, if he has a doubt he cannot give the goal.

Seriously? To me the camera angle on the replay clearly showed that all the ball didn't cross the line. Most of it did, but not all of it.

Look's like we're beat.

Disappointed but happy with spirited come back.

Balls :mad:
Congrats Chelsea

Well done to Chelsea.

Can't complain.

CAREFREE

Sgt Pepper 64

Yes - well played pool, should started carroll

Mr.Crinklewood

Fair play to Chelsea, did not play that well but had enough to win.

jaykay74

Will Kenny get another year. I think he might

Thanx 4 The Fish

Game over, fair play to Chelsea, they were certainly the least rubbish of the two teams. Thought Carroll would do it but he was probably brought on too late. When we changed and started using him we were a different team. I am not sure if that is because we took off Spearing or because Carroll was brilliant, probably a bit of both.
