Rooney shouldn't have started tonight.

What about that really difficult finish? :pac:

The Rooney gamble paid off ...

Clear goal.

England are getting a massive rub of the green so far tonight.

We can live with that.

Paz-CCFC · 19-06-2012 09:09PM

I thought a small bit of the ball wasn't over the line, to be honest.

What's the point in having a camera capable of seeing those things if it's not put to use. FIFA need a kick up the bollix

How many teams get robbed in international games? What about the greek player who who had a clear penalty disallowed the other evening ? .That's how how things even out over a period , some you win some you loose . If it was Irish goal line that ball went over and it was disallowed we would all be cheering to .

ohh its getting heated on the sideline. :eek:

I wasn't able to make it out - Terry's white socks didn't exactly help distinguish where the line was, either.

Couldn't have been easy for the assistant, watching it happen in the space of a second.

Edit: Over, alright. Still couldn't have been easy for the assistant to spot, though.

I dunno if it was.

Latchy · 19-06-2012 09:18PM

I think it was over the line to but until they bring in goal line technology to decide these things ,it's always going to happen .

tayto lover · 19-06-2012 09:20PM

It looked over the line but the player might have been off=side when he received it.

This is the backwards ****e that FIFA spout. "Some teams get robbed, so why not others?"

What about the greek player who who had a clear penalty disallowed the other evening ?

Again, what has what happened to Greece or any other country got to do with this game?

If it was Irish goal line that ball went over and it was disallowed we would all be cheering to .

Well, you might, but I wouldn't.

Well blame all the bakward people in FIFA so

Your FIFA quote above also has nothing to do with this game either but we are allowed to quote similar scenarios if we wish ..there's no law against it

Well, you might, but I wouldn't

Very presumtious of you to think as such but I couldn't give a monkeys what you would or wouldn't feel in same circumstances .

I know of no team or countrys supporters who would want the wrong decision against their team reversed ....why would they

hondasam · 19-06-2012 09:38PM

well done England.

Latchy · 19-06-2012 09:42PM

The luck went against Ukraine tonight and it would have made it an iteresting last quarter if the goal had been allowed ( assuming the player who recieved the ball wasn't offside before it went over the line ).

As Gerrard just said on itv '' we all need luck and you don't get far in these competitions without it ''

(PS - the player was offside )

Clearly shows ball NOT over the line

dublin_daveyboy · 19-06-2012 10:14PM

Rooneys goal was jammy,it deflected off the ukranians nut sack and brought it nicely to Rooney for an easy goal.credit has to be given to the Brits though they were playing in front of a hostile crowd and got a result.

Super-Rush · 19-06-2012 10:21PM

I never thought England would've topped that group but they did.

Can see them doing the Italians in the quarters.

Latchy · 19-06-2012 10:25PM

I had England in a bet to win their group along with Russia ,Germany ,Spain but the Soviets screwed that one up .

What comes around goes around - makes up for the disallowed goal against Germany in the 2010 World Cup although the Germans would have us believe that it was recompense for the 66 World Cup...it's a never ending cycle and someone keeps moving the goalposts.:D

There was a much clearer offside in the run up to the goal ironically not spotted by RTE analysts after several replays given what they said about the goal-line official.

The incident showed why we need technology, but Ukraine certainly not robbed.

And in fairness to the official in real time it looked very difficult to be 100% certain that the whole ball had crossed all of the line. It took the extremely slowed down over head angle until it was absolutely clear.

Agree but isn't it so pathetic to keep coming back to the debate of goaline technology, every season and every tournament seems to throw up some sort of error. The debate's been done to death and everyone seems to agree on this and there aren't too many good arguments against having it.

I'd prefer to accept the facts rather than the hope and belief that things even out
