Whilst a good point away from home, looking at that footage it should have been three. Shame there wasn't a Russian linesman at Gresty Road last night:(

As for handball, the footage is indecisive though, with the defender seemingly barging McConville forwards into the ball before he turned to shoot, I think any contact would have been ball to hand rather than vice versa.:confused:

Hope it doesn't cost us come May, be it a play off spot or better !!!:o

We didn't need a Russian linesman, just one who could see.

Re: Crewe Thread
 

I have to say the ball did look over the line but it was travelling at some pace! Having said that the liner should have been pretty much level seeing as the shot came from about three yards out. Poor, but these things happen. I bet Bencherif wont score another goal like that in the rest of his life, nice finish!!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

Todays Telegraph had Jimmy Bell saying that he and Coley have watched the video and it was definitely a goal, but The Observer has Coley saying that it didn't cross the line? puzzled.

Can only think that Coley is trying his Ferguson Jedi mind tricks on someone, but can't work out who or why!!!

Re: Crewe Thread
 

The Observer probably couldn't hear him properly being all the way over in Rochdale :)

On a side note are there any colossal local news stories that can possibly rival last weeks "Man Keeps Burnt Pie For 40 years"? :)

Re: Crewe Thread
 

maybe the story that the Observer is back! ..... is delighted to announce the opening of its new office in the market hall.

Fantastic, the local paper is run off a market stall :rolleyes:
