Well to be fair, it was the Linesman who disallowed it.
But i'd imagine everyone in the ground could see that was over the line. It's pretty difficult to get something like that wrong

Hmmm, after seeing that, i don't think the Ref or Linesman should get blamed TOO much, they couldn't have been in line with it.
The linesmans job is to watch the Line for offside, and that line was on the 40yds line.
The referee should get some balls and make a decision on it though, IMO.
Unfortunately i dont think there's much they can do.
(I said it before the TV people...)

linesman was at around the 18 yard line when the ball was in the net - not 40 yards away

If that was the other way round and it was Man United it would have been a goal.
Who said this? I think this is exactly what they need to do
"Linesmen are classed as "assisant ref" should get rid of them and put them infront of a TV, speak to the ref through a bluetooth headset heheh"

An FA spokesman after the game absolved the linesman of any responsibility
for
the apparently mistaken decision not to award a goal to Spurs after a shot
from the halfway line crossed the goal line by at least a meter.
"The shot came in from an unusual distance and as such caught the linesman
out
of position forcing him to race back towards the goal as the play
developed",
explained the spokesman, "As he ran, the United scarf he was wearing under
his
shirt came loose and fluttered up into his face obscuring his view and
preventing him from making the call. It was just one of those things."
In response to further questions from the Press the spokesman explained "If
they don't already have a United tattoo most officials on game day try to
wear
a scarf or a replica shirt under their regulation kit to show their support
for
the worlds greatest club. The linesman in this case had chosen to wear a
United scarf, a common choice that is in keeping with FA guidelines. The
root
cause of the problem lies not with the linesman but with the players and
management of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club who broke one the most
important
unwritten rules of the English FA: They placed a shot on target at Old
Trafford. Martin Jol is new to this country and perhaps he s not yet
familiar
with some of our finer traditions. Fortunately if he doesn't yet understand
that for the greater good of the game visiting teams, by tradition, are not
expected to try to score at Old Trafford then our officials are in a
position
to help Mr Jol make that cultural adjustment."
Chuckling to himself the FA spokesman added "The goal had to be disallowed
to
avoid us descending down a slippery slope that would be bad for the
national
game. It's a fine line the officials have to walk. If they award a goal
this
week, next week someone might expect a penalty or ask that Van Nistleroy be
booked for diving. Can you imagine? That would just never do. No no no.
Shocking, just the thought of it."
