After ’66 when a Russian linesman made the right call we have had to suffer all sorts of under-handed tactics to oust us from footballs premier international tournament: Gordon Banks being ‘poisened’ to keep him out of the quarter-final against W. Germany (that cost us the game!), Booby Moore being arrested for shop lifting in the same tournament, Maradonna’s hand of God goal, Sol Campbells disallowed goal against Argentina, Beckham being harshly sent off against Argentina, and now … the amazing disallowed goal of this weekend! I CANNOT believe that, when almost everyone else within sight of the ball KNEW it had crossed the line by a good distance, WHY didnt the 2 officials? There is no doubt it had a major impact on the course of the game as England had to chase the game and left themselves exposed to counter-attack.
Is there a conspiracy against England? Even if not, I, for one, am fed up with these incidences having a major impact on our chances of winning this tournament. No other country has had to put up with such abuse. Enough is enough!
