       Always seems easy to say that logic says the player was over the
       line,so the ball must be. But this is in the cold light of day.
       Having run the line, nothing is static - often everything is
       constantly moving (not a freeze frame), often in different
       directions: you as AR, multiple players, the ball. And a goal is
       not the only thing you’re watching for. It’s constant
       processing. My instinct is always to accept that the officials
       simply couldn’t tell in that split second (although it may seem
       clear on replay) and that football has to maturely accept that
       there are very occasionally some freak blind spots. Like the
       Uruguayan AR at WC10, pre-GLT, who had no chance of being
       certain Lampard’s shot v Germany has bounced over the line.

       I'm a tad confused.
       (Nowt new there then you might, correctly say)
       If, as is stated, the AR cannot clearly see, would you prefer
       that they guess?
       I'm a bit long of tooth but was always told that if I couldn't
       see 100% then I MUSTN'T award anything. Perhaps things have
       changed??

       Not just at a high level.  Things happen quickly at any level
       and they are often less predictable at lower levels.

       Also, if you were behind the goal how could you possibly see
       that it had crossed the line?

       I could see the defender’s feet were behind the line, I could
       see his hand was behind his body and as he knocked the ball
       forward I could see it bounce behind the line. But I must
       clearly have been mistaken!!

       Like I said, if you share the aforementioned footage / images we
       can form a view, as the actual match footage is completely
       inconclusive.

       For those who want the photos here is one taken from the
       photographer at that end. And also some poor quality video which
       shows the incident.

       Did the defender have an extra leg?

       Firstly, it looks like it should have been a goal, based on the
       still photograph. The video serves no purpose to determine
       either way.
       Given that Player no 30 is entirely between the Assistant and
       the ball and that the ball could have still been entirely behind
       his body and not fully over the line, I'm not sure how you
       expect the Assistant to determine it's a goal. If he's not sure,
       and how could he be, he can't in all fairness give a goal. You
       win some; you lose some ! Move on.

       The video shows the ball bouncing behind the line.  I have seen
       plenty of mistakes by officials (and considerably more by
       players) and I can often understand why the mistakes are made. I
       just cannot understand this one however much posters on here try
       to justify it. Sorry.

       Whilst they are gradually implementing more and more technology
       in football, they haven't yet found a way of giving match
       officials x-ray vision.  The defender's body is clearly between
       the AR and the ball, if he can't see the ball he can't give a
       goal.
       He will still get an incorrect KMD, assuming the observer can be
       100% sure it was over the line, but I can definitely see why it
       was missed.
