what the fuck. tonight, lennon was done right in front of the goal line judge [or whatever he's called] he does nothing, dempsey was dragged down on the 6 yard line when the same fucker had a clear view, again nothing ? i've heard they are only for judging the ball over the goal line, but that cant be true because last season against olympiakos one of them called a foul by defoe that the ref missed and we had a goal disallowed [correctly, as it was a foul] i just dont understand. also, why do they stand on the same side of the pitch as the linesman ? surely they should be on the other side ? they might then have spotted the stamp on bale.
 
There was also an incident in the Man U game where Galatasaray should have got a penalty and there's no way the line judge couldn't have seen it.

I heard from someone that they can't make a decision the way a linesman can, they can just say what they see if called upon by the ref. If that is the case, then it's a fucking waste of time even having them, because I've never seen a ref ask them the question.
