The ref and the linesman couldn't tell if it crossed the line and didn't allow it which is fair enough. But it does look like it crossed the line.

Because of the optical illusion caused by the ball being round. Because no part of the ball is in contact with the line, the brain processes it as thinking it's over it. However, if you were looking directly down on it from the crossbar, it would show that some of the ball, the part which is raised from the ground on the pictures above, had not in fact cleared the line.

It certainly doesn't help that McLaughlin is wearing yellow gloves (smart move :)), making it hard to tell gloves and ball apart.

:lol:

I agree. The ref and linesman made the right decision imo if though I think the whole ball crossed the line. They couldn't tell in real time and even now it's hard to say it did or didn't. It just goes to show how important goal line technology is in the game.

Anyway, my point is that there's no vendetta against by referees. We get some decision against us and some for us.

Problem is mate our fans convinetly
forget ones we get but always remember the ones we don’t,

And of course we always get more against us than for us!

Tbf most football fans are like that thinking the world is against them and their club always get punished more than others.
 
Ridiculous suggestion!

Its not as if we've had 2 red cards overturned and multiple games where the referees have fucked us over!

It’s just embarrassing man a big club targeted by refs, all I have heard on here for years is big clubs are helped by refs

Now we the big club its all changed round apparently just paranoid biased bullshit!

I've said numerous times in other threads that I dont think they intentionally set out to screw us, I think the mindset is to show their impartiality by not favouring the "big" team and they go too far the other way and we get fuck all.

Yet when we happened to be the smaller club in the premier league their mindset was apparently the complete opppsite to favour the big clubs.

Funny that!

Surely you can see the contradiction?

Maybe just all refs in every league just hate Sunderland and we just fucked,when we the small club we get nowt!

When we the big club we still get nowt!

I started a line about that but deleted it, was going to say the referees further up are used to the "big" teams so arent overawed....thats when their bias and incompetence can shine through ;)

You cant argue we've had more than our fair share of shite thrown at us over the last few years?

You can't say that with certainty though! There's potentially milimetres in it and without better angles or tech there's just no way of knowing if it had fully crossed the line.
 
The lino's are shite like. When he gave a goal kick and the ref overruled him and gave the corner. :lol::lol::lol::lol:
The linesmen in this division have no backbone at all.

They never stick by their decisions, even for throw ins it's the referee who gives it despite him being 15 yards away and the linesman being right there.

Awful. :lol:

They're f***ing terrible. Unbelievable how the linesman watches it go out for a goal kick, gives it then it ends up being a corner because the ref thinks he knows better stood outside of the box:lol::lol:
