Demichelis Awarded Equaliser

[Dubai Blue]

I don't understand what they are trying to say, it reads like they both knew it had crossed the line but allowed the game to go one? How very confusing

In the still image I saw of the moment the ball crossed the line, the fifth official (or whatever he's called) wasn't even looking across the line, he was looking into the penalty area. Pretty staggering really, considering that's his one and only job!

Would they've done this if it was cleared up field and we'd lost? They appear to be setting an extremely high octane prescidant with this bit of flannel.

Lying bastards

 

[Sir peace frog]

I cant believe this thread, when the fuck have a football governing body ever cheated or lied ?

 

[BenLlewellyn]

Navas' corner, flicked on by Fernando, put in by Demichelis. It's the trio of dreams people.

 

[blueincy]

Very believable story I must say, my mate sasquatch said as much also..

 

[mancunial]

Somebody has a word, they have acted accordingly,

 

[CelesteItis]

Was my first thought.

Ditto

 

[BlueAnorak]

They'd have been better off keeping quiet. Instead of people wondering if they're bent they've just confirmed it.
There's not a chance that first effort was being given. The ref had plenty of time to blow the whistle before the second phase.
Fucking charlatans the lot of them.

This.
UEFA are talking out of their lying cheating backsides.
Lets hear the tape rather than an invented transcript.

Joke is on Cuntini .

I see what you did there...

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Bollocks, they're trying to cover up their ineptitude.

Haha what a pile of shit from UEFA.

 

[BigOscar]

A pathetic cover up to pretend that the useless twats behind the line actually serve a purpose so we don't need goal line technology. Transparent as fuck, as anyone watching that game could see that they clearly didn't give the goal. Fucking shameful and the media should jump down their throats for it, but I doubt they will

 

[ChicagoBlue]

OK, so this should be very easy to KNOW.

I believe the touchline official is supposed to TURN in a particular position based on what he believes the decision should be. I see it all the time for "corner or goal kick?" and ASS-U-ME it is exactly the same for a goal line decision.

The liner certainly MOVES, but I don't know what the movement means. I think a UEFA Official should be able to clear this up by showing that the liner not only SAYS something to the ref, but he ALSO makes the BODY MOVEMENTS (faces a particular direction) that clearly indicate he felt it was a DeMichelis goal.

If not, then they are clearly indicating they're a bunch of lying, cheating bastards with a crate of eggs on their face.....not that they are not that already, of course!

BTW, why do we not ALL know what the touchline official positions mean already?

One thing I know FOR SURE...the exact same touchline official that gave their penalty is the one who appeared NOT to give our goal. That begs basic ability to be a touchline official, doesn't it? Thought these were the creme de la creme of each nations refs and liners? Does that mean the French officials overall suck???

 

[We're not really here]

This really takes the biscuit! I seriously cannot believe this!

 

[RandomJ]

So if Otamendi had missed his shot on goal they would have awarded us Demi's goal then? Would they fuck. Pathetic attempt to cover their ineptitude.

 

[cleavers]

That 5th official should never officiate again, he was worse than useless.

 

[silverback]

I am puzzled by their statement, are they saying both knew it was a goal but waited to see if we accrued an advantage. How exactly do you gain more of an advantage than a goal.
It stinks to high heaven.

The entire away end saw it clearly go in
