That's a really interesting comment. As an avid football fan, I agree with you - except maybe, just maybe, we could introduce some technology for goal-line clearances so that we get an instant decision with no disruption.Wigsie said:Surely thats what makes the game so exciting... it is heartbreaking when you lose in a bad/unfair way, but football is a sport that has not been ruined by panels of referees in a box somewhere watching video replays to decide whether its a goal or a penalty and the stop/start disruption that comes with it.
So when the element of human error/misjudgement affects a result like this you have to take it on the chin, happens to all teams in both favours at some point (except maybe Man U ). But its the highs and lows of the game which is why Football is more than 'just a game' to millions of people across the world. Similarly to the way Cycling is not 'just a means of transport' for millions of people.

I would love to see my team Sheff Utd reach an FA Cup final in my lifetime. Been to see them in 2 semis and that feeling of being so close yet falling at the last hurdle is heart-breaking, but there will be other highs and lows and that's what makes the game so great.

Anelka's dive has to be one of the most blatant this season. I don't think even Ronaldo could beat that one!
