I don't think we do. We need refs that give what they can, and for fans/TV people/people like you not to cry about it and exaggerate things. Watch a cricket match, when the ball is going to clip the stumps, the umpire doesn't give it. No one complains, it's simply too close to give it.

That removes the human element from the sport. The reason they didn't see it was clear on TV. The ref was in the other half, some 50/60 yards away from the goal line. The linesman was a good 40 yards, probably more due to the diagnol of it. He also had a spurs player in his line of sight to the goal, not to mention the keeper. Can't see the ball? Can't say it's gone in. From the distance, I doubt he could have seen the goal line either.

It wasn't a goal, he was offside when Foster threw it out, *and* when Giggs flicked it on. The linesman obviously wasn't paying attention (how can you miss a flick on?) and should have flagged straight away.
