This Weekends other Prem Games

Have to laugh, Everton fans booing Newcastle's time wasting tactics. Well bend me over and call me Susan, have they suddenly decided they want to see some football at goodison for their hard earned cash? Was under the impression, from when we have played them recently, that they went there to see Tim Howard's Charlie Chaplin-esque miming of taking a goal kick for 90 mins.

Though the officials are having a shocker. Two disallowed goals for everton, play pulled back when Newcastle through on goal. Add clattenberg's inept performance at the weekend and we may as well just give them a blindfold at kick off. At least that way we could believe their excuses. Didn't see it? Wtf were you doing then, dressed as an official at a football match? Playing angry birds space edition in your bloody iPhone? Isn't it a crime to impersonate an official?

Linesman's view not really blocked, unless his belly was in the way

What I don't understand is why is the goal line thicker than the crossbar/posts? Surely they should all be in line.

linesman couldn't give that. If that goal line is thicker than the post it's not a goal.

Evertons weakest spot is quick through balls between the centre backs. We need someone constantly making though runs, Saying that they'll up their game for our visit.

Are people suggesting the goal posts don't quite match the lines, and something is amiss? Like they belong in another ground and may have been, ahem, liberated to the fair shores of liverpewweel?

Imagine how thick those white lines will be when they play us. A good ten foot, methinks.

According to that pic the whole of the ball has not crossed the whole of the line, so quite correctly it isn't a goal.
Think a few of the pundits seem to forget that's the rule.
