I see the FA are still doing all they can to make the title race more interesting. What a pair of massive balls ups from the ref and linesman. Utter bollox, one you can put down to luck. Two is a bit dodgy.
The ball definitely didn't cross the line, but IMO ONLY video technology will ever sort that out.
The Chelsea players and fans would have been 100% convinced that it went over. The Tottenham players and fans would have been 100% convinced it didn't.
The lino has to make a massive judgement from 40 yards away while trying desperately to get into position to see it.
The lino guessed, and he guessed wrong.
But it still wasn't as awful a **** up as Gomes made. What a dreadful goalkeeper.
The offside was again a tough decision, and wrong.
But like Man Utd with the penalty decision and lack of red card for Evra at SB in the CL, we'll take those decisions and say thanks very much.

I thought our second half was ridiculous. It was as though we were embarrassed about the nature of the goal and didn't want to compound the refs error by taking all three points. But thankfully we were just getting the salt delivered.
Not really sure about the pen. He looked as though he might have glanced a touch on the ball, but he seemed to make plenty of contact with the player beforehand and a glancing touch doesn't negate that. Thought the ref might have been evening things out by not giving that.
