I don't understand how come no one kick the ball away in the first place and left it there right in front of Reina? Why Reina didn't do anything about it before the start or even after the start? weird...
I guess it must be one of the most unusual goal I have ever seen... Tough luck. Losing by this type of goal is really very hard to take...
I guess Rafa's time is coming... Even his luck is running out...
Darren Bent sees his shot go between Glen Johnson and Pepe Reina
So, there's karma and retribution in football after all.
Recall Champions league semi-final few years ago (couldn't remember the year) Liverpool vs Mourinho's Chelsea at Anfield 1-0, Luis Garcia scoring "the goal that never was".
unfair lor like that
LIFE'S A BEACH ... Darren Bent fires in Sunderland's winner off a beachball
The Cheshire ref allowed Darren Bent's winner against Liverpool to stand after it cannoned in off a red beachball thrown on to the pitch by a young Kop fan.
But the effort should have been chalked off and the match stopped.
JONES ... goal blunder
Jones, 41, in his second League season, will be asked to explain his actions - as will his three assistants - after all appeared unsure about the rules.
According to FIFA's laws, the goal should have been disallowed because of 'outside interference'.
Jones will be hammered when the Professional Game Match Officials board meets today.
Former top ref Dermot Gallacher said: "It was such a glaring error. Everybody knows that when something encroaches on to the pitch the game stops."
I can't help but think about the kid who hit the beach ball onto the pitch.
Dollars to donuts say that he's gonna get bullied in school today.... his face is all over Youtube and the newspapers, after all....
Already I've seen quite a few Youtube comments calling for his blood...
what is about that "ball" still?
a "world class" team cant score two at the stadium of light in 85 mins to take the 3 points is a more funnier point i guess.
