Liverpool v Ajax (CL Match Thread)

I'd take the goal. No guarantee we'd have scored the penalty, and Chelsea were a better side than us. 10 men, with a resolute Jose getting them to defend. Nah - have the goal (for me)

All day long.

They would have been without their first choice goalkeeper and down to 10 men for the entire game. Gerrard would have scored the pen. He never missed ..I know its ifs and buts and we came back from 3 nil to win the champions league that season. So it all ended ok

At least we can agree on that

[teesred]

And it was miles over the line. It's a clear as day. 😁

Stop being logical, it gets you nowhere.

Haha.

[skyebo]

Come on Skye... You must surely have an inkling as to why that World Cup final goal was given...?

No, enlighten me.

[Steveo]

No, enlighten me.

England were the host nation AND probably most importantly - the linesman was a Soviet national.. I know we like to think we won the war and all that but in reality it came at the price of 27.000.000 Soviet lives. Something rarely discussed in the west - so desperate to portray everything from "over there" as bad and evil. Did you think they put a wall through Germany for a laugh?

I know. But I actually think the rule is wrong. Technically the image below is not a goal - that pisses me off. Even if it was ruled out against us (i.e. the oppo scoring)

That goal line looks wider than the regulations dictate!!

Good one - but it is a fair point.


here is a screenshot I just took from Photoshop and added guides - which can ONLY be straight - showing the clear line taper. Now it is likely this is simply perspective but it does make a mockery of the tech. Surely we want to see a shot at absolute 90 degrees vertical...?

Also are these images open to manipulation - it takes literally seconds BTW..




EDIT - actually this image is from a photo from a TV so the perspective is down to the shoddy original.. Nothing to see here - as you were

[justme]

This line thin enough when we are attacking??
