When it comes to the issue of goalline technology in football, Frank Lampard<\/a> is better placed than most others to comment after experiencing both sides of a linesman’s mistake.<\/p>\n

Whereas his shot against Germany in the World Cup was ruled to have not crossed the line when it had done so quite clearly, against Tottenham his shot from a good 30 yards was spilled by goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes, who clawed the ball away before it crossed the line, yet the goal was still given.<\/p>\n

The decision by assistant referee Mike Cairns, who was a good distance away from the goalline, sparked protest from the Spurs players who were unhappy that the decision had been given when the linesman was not in a position to see it clearly.<\/p>\n

It was not the first time that Spurs have been the victims of bad goalline decisions.<\/p>\n

In 2005, at Old Trafford, midfielder Pedro Mendes ambitiously tried to lob goalkeeper Rob Carroll from around 50 yards and the ball was dropped a long way over the line, only for linesman Rob Lewis not to give the goal because he was too far away from the action.<\/p>\n

The debate on goalline technology has raged for a while and Fifa President Sepp Blatter has promised to look into it, although he remains reluctant to introduce it anytime soon.<\/p>\n
