To be fair this thread seems to be set up to discredit the young lad who threw the ball on the pitch initially,but Pepe should have not left it sat in the bottom of the net,we'll get some stick for this though. :blush:

As i said Bad Bob, i am just watching LFC tv now and it was in the back of the net from the start!! Have a look now.

Not to be sceptical but maybe there was more than one red beach ball?Perhaps there were many in the crowd...maybe some alchy was selling them outside along with his scarves??Just a thought!

there was only one, sky and the bbc show the thing from the min it come on to when the ball hit it, it should have been moved

A couple of people are saying it's "making excuses" to say the goal shouldn't have been allowed, it's nothing of the sort. How well we played, whether we deserved to win or not are all seperate issues. The goal shouldn't have been allowed it's as simple as that.

Equally, there is a debate about who'd fault it is, the kids, Pepe's or whatever, and that is seperate too. The football hit an outside influence, so therefore the goal should not have been allowed. I don't even think Sunderland would have protested too much had he not given it, it's in the rules simple as.

A couple of weeks ago Blackburn were denied a stick on penalty at Arsenal, and "Big Sam Yeah :buttrock" said it was the pivotal moment in the match. They lost 6-2 though FFS  :D. However bad we played, we lost 1-0 to a goal which wasn't a goal. No excuses about it, just a fact.

It makes you wonder if this will start some sort of trend in the next few weeks.

You are sitting behind your own keeper and the opposing team is on the attack.  If it looks like the opposing team might score, simply throw a beach ball or something else onto the pitch and try and get the game stopped.  Someone will definitely try this, watch this space...

It was a :censored: joke that yesterday.

I was at the game, what they didn't show on MOTD was after the goal Reina chased the ref halfway down the pitch to dispute it.  The ref then waved him away and took about thirty seconds to go over and speak to the linesman.  Even after discussing it they then allowed the goal, and even the Sunderland fans sitting around me couldn't believe their luck.

And clearly it wasn't because they didn't see it.  I was at the other side of the ground, much further away than them, and I could clearly see the ball changing direction after hitting the beach ball.  It's refereeing incompetence, they just didn't know the rules.

Blame? ???  Rafa. For buying absolute :censored: up front. Crouchy, bellamy, keane all gone. We bring in babel, voronin, n'gog. Please figure that out?  Blind faith in rafa is getting us rather screwed.

A british manager to get this club where it needs to be in the prem. Forget europe, we need our bread and butter. Look what them lot down the road are doing. Not p;laying well, but still top of league. Reminds me of a team that use to do it for twenty years. Seems along time ago though, who was it?

Shhhh.

Such a controversial moment in football.

Many goals in football are either allowed or disallowed wrongly from week to week. It would of been a real kick in the guts had Sunderland scored that goal 4 minutes from the end. But they scored with 93 minutes to spare, (similar princible to our early disallowed goal against Stoke last season) and during those 93 minutes we were woeful and Sunderland were well worth the win.

I hope the team can bounce back from this with a good performance and win against Lyon.

I wish I was in Oz - preferably eating Moreton Bay Bugs and quaffing Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc at Sails on the Beach in Noosa! That's a far cry from Sunderland on a damp October Saturday watching overpaid :censored: trying to play football!
