A matter of angles, is this over the line? - Page 2

Well I'm only 20 so I was 2 at the time and at least missed out on seeing that travesty live, plenty more relating to England in my lifetime though.

This one takes the cake though.

I have no clue why I find these pics so funny, but I can't stop laughing. My wife wanted to see what was so funny, but doesn't really share my amusement.

well, really few things are funnier than some guy getting hit in the nuts.

I think it is the fact that the kicker looks so serious and the other guy looks like he is being launched. I usually don't find slapstick funny but those picks are still cracking me up.

the second one is great.

Wow, I finally saw a replay of this thing and it is by far and away one of the worst calls in professional sports history.

In soccer terms, it goes up there with Maradona; in U.S. Soccer terms, the phantom PK in world cup '98 qualifying against Jamaica that wasn't a handball and was outside the box anyway.

It gives me another reason to think Manchester United and soon enough Malcom Glazer will take over the world...and it's a great avatar.

are there any other angles that look closer? im curious how this one could be [censored] up, seems obvious.

I had the pleasure of seeing it live.

Last nights was so over the line David Blunkett could have identified it as a goal, dont know whats going on its as obvious as the Chelsea handball in the Liverpool game.

I dont think cameras are the answer, replay technology will only slow the game down, last nights decision was really poor but was a huge error from the linesman, but controversial decisions are part of the game in a way it would be a shame to lose it.
