The same subject was being debated on BBC Sport's Football 606 forum last week and generally the idea was considered to be a non - starter over there too.
In a way we benefited from the rule yesterday as when the original ball which won us a corer from which we scored our 91st minute winner there was the issue that Dexter Blackstock was offside when the ball was played but he was not encroaching on the play. Split seconds later he was and we won a corner. BBC's "Football League Show" made a big thing about this last night. Similarly they showed the possible penalty against us which wasn't given; I was right on top of that one and I wouldn't like to call it - the chap on my right swore it was a dive while son in law on my left was convinced that it was a stonewall penalty (had it been a Forest player in Sawnsea's penalty area there would have been no doubt!!).
There were plenty of the same type of talking points yesterday from the Portsmouth v Birmingham and Newcastle v Barnsley matches all bringing goal line technology and giant screen 4th/5th referees once again into the equation.
However the game has existed and thrived on such controversy and long may it do so; what would we have to talk about in the pub afterwards if it was gone?
