Why are people arguing if it went over the line, its irrelevant. Ref's are only supposed to give decisions they are SURE about, someone could take out a knife and stab another player in the box, it wouldn't be a penalty unless the ref was sure he knew what happened.
Going over the line or not doesn't actually matter, it was painfully close and he had a perfect view, with dozens of replays and pictures most people are sure it DIDN'T go over and the rest aren't sure it did go over. Ref's should absolutely not give decisions they aren't sure about, so the ref under no circumstances should have ever given the goal.
That is why Lampard's non goal against Germany was the RIGHT ref's decision, he wasn't sure therefore can't give it, by the rules.

Well not exactly true.
The ref can take a 100% decision from an assistant if he so wishes without having a clue what really happened.
Hahahahahahahaha, lolFA!
**** them, I've had a ticket every game and not guarenteed
Our allocation is based on a loyalty scheme basis with priority to those who have attended previous FA Cup away games. Is your allocation just a lottery?
Based on this season only which we've had 5 games, 4 at home and one at wembley.
If I miss out I might be able to get one in the crappy club wembly section for like £500 which again is a joke as it shows all the ********* who get tickets outside the 50k team allocations sell them for a ridiculous premium
at the ticket allocation for the finals.
Yeah it's ridiculous isn't it. The play-off final gets a fairly decent 40k-40k split between the two clubs (and that's for clubs who often average a lot less than that), but they ruin the FA Cup (and CL final for that matter) with the stupid amount of corporate junkets.
