When the ball was played out to the left too Steed you can see Reina coming back towards his goal and the ball/baloon moving so he went and attended to it but didn't pick it up and move it.
 
Some international top ref seems to think we can protest and get a rematch.

Hackett was on record saying refs SHALL stop games when objects are thrown out on the pitch.

When they showed it on BBC "Match of the Day" they pixellated out the little shit's face as a kindness.

I hope it haunts him for the rest of his life. :🙂

For what it's worth:

Former Premier League referee Jeff Winter has claimed that Sunderland's bizare 'beach ball' winning goal against Liverpool yesterday should have been ruled out.

A Liverpool side, stricken by the loss of Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres through injury, were condemned to defeat against the Black Cats as Darren Bent's strike flew past Pepe Reina and into the net via a deflection from a beach ball.

While Reds boss Rafael Benitez has refused to blame the incident as the reason behind the Merseysiders' defeat, former referee Jeff Winter feels Benitez should feel aggrieved that the goal was not disallowed for an "outside interference."

"I'm absolutely amazed. It is basic law in football. The goal should just not have stood," Winter explained to BBC Radio 5 Live.

"The laws of the game state that if there's an outside interference the game has to be stopped.

"Talk about an outside influence - the ball went in off the beach ball and completely deceived the Liverpool goalkeeper.

"I am absolutely amazed that for a referee at that level of football, that between him, his assistant, the fourth official, they didn't see what had happened and give the correct decision."

The ex-top-flight ref went on to admit he was suprised that more focus and attention hadn't been centred around the man in the middle, Mike Jones.

"I try to defend referees wherever possible having been there and knowing the problems they face but, on this particular occasion, everybody's having a laugh and a joke about it, but this is far more serious in terms of the laws of the game than when the referee doesn't see the ball go over the goalline," he added.

"That is understandable with the pace of the modern game and being unsighted, but this is just basic law.

"An outside influence is any outside influence. It is anything other than the 22 maximum players on the field and the referee.

"If it hits the referee and goes in, he's part of the game. If a spectator comes on the pitch and kicks the ball, the game must be stopped.

"It's a basic law of the game - one that fortunately doesn't come into practice too much - but it's a basic law of the game that a referee would learn on his initial refereeing cause, not when you're an established Premiership referee.

"The fact that the referee conferred with his assistant, they knew something was wrong, it's just absolutely amazing the goal was allowed to stand."

I think everyone from Sunday league football downwards is aware of this rule. Unfortunately the four clowns in charge yesterday didnt

I wish people would top saying he threw it, he didn't, he punched it.

Fair enough, he punched it to make sure it reaches his destination, the pitch. The knob.
 
I feel like the time we lost to Bolton, were the ref judged Pepe to be outside the box with his hands when he kicked the ball. Speed scored from the free kick and we lost.

I've never seen that again in the Premiership, and the incident yesterday, well I can promise you won't see that again.

Things like this just happens to us at the moment. Fuck me.

I'm sure he could have thrown it onto the pitch. Punching was an aesthetic decision.
 
If we had actually played well yesterday at any point, then I'd be inclined to feel aggrieved with the decision. We didn't. Even without that goal, I think Sunderland would have gone on to win anyway. We were gash throughout.

It seems like clutching at straws to blame a kid for the result. It was Pepe who put the ball in the back of his net (and thus, it blew back on to the field as the attack was building).
 
I listened to the Radio City commentary by Steve Hothersall & John Durnin.

No mention was made of any beach ball

:🙂
 
Sky Sports have his face blurred out now. Poor lad, dealt with being ginger all his life and now this. What's next, aids for Christmas?

Sorry, too far.

Not really, I laughed as I'm sure a lot of the lads will. The silly twat has left himself open to this, 12 years old or not, accident/horrible mistake or not.
 
Throwing anything on the pitch is bad behaviour, regardless of the consequences.

The lad deserves to suffer.

Terribly.

😱
