WITH FIFA ANNOUNCING today that they plan to use goal-line technology at next year’s World Cup finals, we thought you might enjoy reliving the moments when human error from the referee or his assistants cost teams dearly.

Re Liverpool v Chelsea, May 2005, if the ref hadn’t given the goal, it would have been a red card for Cech and a penalty. He was doing Chelsea a favour giving that goal!
Some great memories in there. The Watford/Reading & Bristol/Palace ones are just incredible though. The officials can have no excuse.
