There is a wonderful photo captioned "Hat trick hero Anthony Thackray reaches out to score".

My eyes aren't what they were, but the ball is well short of the line. Isn't it?

The ball might of but it wasnt under Thackerys control at the time.

Dont let Pepe see this thread, might make him chuck the teddys out again.

That was my photo and was 1 from a series of 7 which all clearly show at no time did thackeray and the ball touch the line together, the next frame shows Thackerays momentum taking his arm forward but the ball staying put, the next shows his body moving forward over the ball and his hand/arm has lost contact all together with the ball, the ball is still short of the line, the next few frames show thackerays body and several fax players over the try line but the ball is under this lot and still short of the line.

you were robbed
