No it did not. The post and the cross bar are the same width as the goal line and on the replay you cannot see the entire ball therefore it is still over the line. Case closed!!!
The fact that around 50% of linesmen's blind guesses will be correct doesn't make goal line technology any less of a pressing issue.
Absolutely correct. Andy Townsend was adamant that the ball was "over the line", but the whole of the ball has to cross the line - it didn't. Carroll should have given the goalie no chance anyway - goes down as a missed chance in my book.
there has to be daylight between ball and line...didn't look very light to me lol It was the right result...Chelsea were better...it was predictable, and i found myself hugely indifferent, though if i'd had to choose, i'd have wanted Chelsea to win..so yay lol
Liverpool players do have a past history of misjudging things at that end of Wembley though - just as Carroll did yesterday, I have a vivid picture of Roger Hunt in 1966, wheeling away, claiming that the ball had crossed the line when it hadn't. The ref got it right this time though.
A Liverpool fan I know has posted a clip on FB that indicates that the far post is not straight and not in alignment with the near post - another conspiracy theory in the making!
