The beach ball goal OTD in 2009

We were very good at home that season. Bruce had us playing some good stuff.

 

Listening about it today on the radio and he reckons he deliberately aimed at the beach ball to confuse the keeper. The radio presenters disagreed he done it deliberately

 

I certainly don’t believe him there

 

John Power (The Las, Cast) played at Stockton live the next year. He said that he didn’t like seeing all of the beach balls in the crowd as they were giving him flashbacks!

 

Neither do I, the radio presenters said it was time for him to come clean and own up lol

 

I expected to read Klopp was demanding this game be replayed.

 

DB "The Truth" is full of ****

 

Funny how they still complain about that, but ignore the goal Sturbridge punched in against us in deliberately cheating to win!

 

Even funnier is that we won 1-0 that day aswell.

 

Always has been.

 

Not to mention it was one of their own fans who threw the ball on the pitch in the first place, probably hoping to interrupt one of our attacks

 

If he had aimed to hit it he would have missed it, he scuffed loads of shots, which helped confuse keepers

 

Aye. But in fairness, I remember Benitez saying after the match that he had no complaints, as his side barely had a shot on the day.

My memory from that day was the amazing energy of Henderson. He was like two players.

 

I reckon Klopp would have been the same .

 

That’s why they signed him. He was class. Still a complete twat now mind

 

Imagine.

 

He would have demanded beach balls be outlawed across the planet and the stadium of light flattened!

 

Was it the right decision that the goal stood? I've read ref analysis both ways. I think the consensus was that the game should have been stopped prior, but as it wasn't then it had to stand.
