Goal line technology now! (spoilers) [View all]

Those of you that watched the Chelsea - Spurs FA Cup semifinal today know what I mean.

That wasn't even close! Let alone the fact that it shouldn't have counted because of Terry's foul, this is more egregious than Lampard's non-given goal against Germany, in my opinion. A referee has to be absolutely sure before awarding a goal, otherwise it should not be given.

Adding two extra officials has made no difference whatsoever as far I have noticed. Has anybody seen a game where they've made an important call? Even one? I can't.

By the way, if anyone spots Ashley Young anywhere today, please give him a swift kick in the goolies from me, would you? Thanks in advance.
