Ball doesn't have to be in the quadrant, that corner was fine i hate to say. The ball was out when Sterling crossed but fuck it, who cares. Oh dear, what a shame, never mind. Suck it up you scouse twats!http://media.gettyimages.com/photos...-kick-during-the-barclays-picture-id479058353

Assuming the ball in that photo of a Leighton Baines corner kick was within the D I'm not sure Mr Martinez has anything to moan about. At a corner kick the ball is stationary and plain for the officials to see - whereas in open play (e.g. the Stirling cross last night) things happen pretty quick. Wrong to criticise the officials in this case. Swings and roundabouts my friend - get over yourself please.
On a tangential point I have seen the stats for the game and they have confirmed what I thought on the night - our players were having lumps kicked out of them all over. City fouls - 5. Everton fouls - 16. One to be proud of Mr Martinez.
Yep - it probably was. But the fact the replays Sky kept replaying showed the area of the ball in contact with the ground beyond the line does not mean the whole ball was. Martinez should have a bit more class and recognise it was a difficult and marginal call for the officials - rather than blame them for the whole result.Ball doesn't have to be in the quadrant, that corner was fine i hate to say.

I think you're confusing inches and millimeters too.Ok, the ball was over the line 4 inches max but a yard?
Someone at Sky needs their eyes testing.
Manchester City will play Liverpool in the Capital One Cup final after Sergio Aguero struck late to beat Everton 3-1 (4-3 on aggregate).
Holding a 2-1 advantage from the first-leg, Everton took an early lead through Ross Barkley but goals from Fernandinho, substitute Kevin de Bruyne and Aguero ensured City's progression, who will meet Liverpool in a major final for the first time on February 28.
Everton will feel aggrieved at the decision to award the crucial De Bruyne equaliser as the ball appeared to be a yard over the dead-ball line as Raheem Sterling's cut-back allowed the Belgium international to score.
Ok, the ball was over the line 4 inches max but a yard?
Wasn't even 4 inches. Sky's agenda involves showing the incident from a camera on the half-way line and it looks way out from that angle. But the law says that the whole of the ball has to be over the line, which means the full diameter of the ball, not just the bit that's touching the ground. If any part of the whole diameter is intersecting the line, it's in play.Someone at Sky needs their eyes testing.

the Sky bias reached a new level. The sterling cross, which they hijacked Pellers after the match with, was in but they ignored the evidence. Sorry but I don't know how to post tv coverage but during the game all the replays looked like the ball was out until they showed a line cam from the stand, straight down the line and it clearly shows ALL of the ball was NOT out. They only showed this once and never showed it again in any replay or discussion. I really hate Sky
:-);-)Fuckin hell, you all sound like John McEnroe 'The ball was OUT!' Lol :-)

When you look at it using a view directly down the goal-line it's much less clear and, at worst, it's millimetres out. It might even be just in as a small part of the ball at the extremity of its diameter might be over the line. But that's from studying a still photo and blowing it up and it's still not 100% clear. So if it's almost impossible to tell from that, how is anyone supposed to know from one view in real-time? And if they're not 100% sure then they can't give it.
Don't fall into Sky's trap.
Its nearly better than the Fa, refs and scudamore having secret lets stop man city meetings.I love the idea that the entire editorial team at Sky have concrete evidence that the ball didn't cross the line but are deliberately withholding it because they don't like City.
That's football forum logic at it's finest ;-)
I assume you know the laws of the game and that the whole of the ball has to have crossed the line? The only way you can tell that is by looking down the line so showing a view from the half-way line deliberately makes it look more controversial than it is. And we know that Sky thrive on creating controversy, whether that's City-related or not.I love the idea that the entire editorial team at Sky have concrete evidence that the ball didn't cross the line but are deliberately withholding it because they don't like City.
