Sure it was a mistake but not as clear cut from his position maybe.

I couldn't watch the game yesterday but boy was the incident exaggerated. Reading the live feed you would think the ball was off by a yard.
Sure the ball may not have passed the line but it's also not as incontestable as people are making it out to be.
Can I also just bring everyone back to 2005 when Liverpool, pundits and the media tried everything they could to excuse that phantom goal whilst they have now talked about how Spurs were robbed and dealt this great injustice. That goal back then was actually the only one and it proved to be decisive, whereas we were already leading and ended up winning 5-1 (not to say that Spurs could not come back from 1-0 down). The biggest joke was when they claimed it could have been a penalty and a red card to Cech. The fact that it was a high foot by Milan Baros (and on a keeper no less) went completely over their heads. So not only did the ball back then not cross the line, but it should have been an indirect free-kick due to a high foot by Baros on Cech. Yet they all were too keen to laugh at us and rub it in to Mourinho to actually care about the injustice to us back then.
So was Mata's goal incorrectly awarded? Well to me...it doesn't Mata!

. ****ing ridiculous.****ing this!
You know I thought the exact same thing yesterday. All they asked Lampard and Terry were questions about the 2nd goal, not once did they congratulate them until about 8 questions in. ****ing ridiculous.
Martin Atkinson giving Chelsea another favour...Let see how many mock up avatars this will spawn...

Yurilly...Do you think people actually make avatars out of **** like that?

This looks damn near to all of the ball over all of the line to me... problem is I think the TV camera framerates are too slow to pick up on the point it may have... whereas this looks to have been taken with a stills camera. Just a thought...

Loved it when Lamps pulled him up on it and said something like 'you act like it's my fault'.
Who was that prat doing the interviews?? Literally asked the same question over and over to each player before anything else. Hardly subtle questioning!! Must have been a spud, he seemed genuinely annoyed.
. Lamps was genuine about it, so was Terry.You are just winding us up with this aren't you? You cannot really think that looks over the line? Draw any line you like and none of the ball (let alone all of it) is over the line.

Agreed. Lamps was genuine about it, so was Terry.
****ing this!

Exactly, they said they knew it didn't go over the line, then why the **** did they celebrate?
It's all a conspiracy, the FA hate you!!!
