The 'goal' In The Watford Reading Game

[loz]

Guess who said this about it

This is the most bizarre situation I've ever seen in 40 years watching football and 27 years refereeing.

Has anyone got a clip of it? I still haven't seen it...

[Ruh Buh Juh]

The weirdest decision I have ever seen.

Mr 3 yellows ?????????

Obviously the goalposts have been moved

Mr 3 yellows ?????????

The very same

[Mr Chelsea]

that is mad, i've seen bizzare goals given at 5 -a-side where the ball goes through the side netting but i've never seen anything like it

the linesman must have been on the phone to his bookieg checking the odds on 2 each

Its sad that a great series of saves from Watford's keeper had to be obscured by that utter utter tripe. Im starting to see what some managers mean about the respect campaign being a farce with garbage like this.

Also, to add to the choice quotes, you'll never guess which t*atbag from Reading said "What was I supposed to do? Go up to the ref and tell him it wasnt a goal?"

Bet it rhymed with stunt

[Backbiter]

I seem to remember a linesman doing something similar in a big game a few years ago. It might have been in the Champions league. He claimed he saw the ball go over the line when it hadn't and bizarrely the goal stood. To make things worse, just beforehand the ref had ignored a blatant foul on the keeper. I don't think any action was taken against the officials for their incompetence. Any else remember the incident?

[loz]

Certainly rings a bell backbiter - wonder if Lofty remembers it.

[byatt]

I remember Watford scoring a similar "goal" against us in the FA Cup a good few years ago now when we drew 2-2 with them, what goes around comes around i suppose

[Lofty]

I don't remember anything like that in the Champions League but I do remember Alan Hudson being awarded a goal that either struck the stanchion or the side netting. I can't remember who it was against, but it was a long time ago. Bluebeard could tell you, I'm sure of it.

Ipswich Town at the Bridge

Ipswich Town at the Bridge

I'm sure the Ipswich game was when we hit the tractor parked in front of the goal.

That would be the tractor towing the bus of course.

[PloKoon13]

That would be the tractor towing the bus of course.

And that would be the bus towing Titus Bramble.
