Re: good news for Spugs!
see this though?!! Ball goes out for a corner and the linesman gives a goal, WTF??
Aidy Boothroyd, the Watford manager, admitted that he had 'never seen anything like it' after seeing his side go behind to an incredibly controversial goal in the 2-2 draw with Reading.
Reading took the lead in the 13th minute when linesman Nigel Bannister farcically flagged for a goal instead of a corner when the ball crossed the goalline wide of the goal after a challenge between John Eustace and Royals striker Noel Hunt. Despite not a single Reading player appealing, 25-year-old referee Stuart Attwell awarded the goal to complete astonishment around Vicarage Road.
Boothroyd said: 'I've never seen anything like it. It's like a UFO landing, a mistake like that. I've been to see the referee and in fairness he's only going on what the linesman says. He's working in a team and if someone comes in his ear telling him it's a goal then I suppose he's got to give it.
'I thought it was a goal-kick. What do you say to that? It was a strange sort of feeling because I was trying to calm my team down and get them going, but all I could think was "What was that for?"'
