They think it’s ball over… it is now!* Did Marco Devic’s deflected, looping shot cross the line? Yep. You bet your sweet posterior it did (click for the full-size image)…
Oleg Blokhin bloody well knew it as well, raging at a post-match press conference: “There are five referees on the pitch and the ball is 50cms behind the goal-line. Why do we need five officials? They don’t spot anything.” before offering one of the more snippy journalists outside for a ‘one-on-one man conversation.’
Doesn’t matter though, because Artem Milevskiy was offside in the build-up – so that, in the grand cosmic scheme of things, makes it all square…
Because that’s how these things work.
