The Goal That Never Was! (from Ed)

In the Tottenham v. Chelsea FA Cup semifinal last weekend we again had the issue of a close goal line decision. This time the decision of the referee was to award a goal to Chelsea even though it appeared that the entire ball had not crossed the entire goal line.

In our recent post on this subject, and in previous ones, we have discussed instances of when the ball had crossed the line but the goal was not awarded. While that type of decision, a false negative, can often be understood, the false positive, such as occurred in this match, is one that should NEVER happen in any circumstances.
