Basically just total incompetence from the linesman there. I mean a direct free kick, all he has to do is follow the flight of the ball. FFS no way can he not see that it dropped near 2 yards over the line.
same way the linesman didn't see jamie o'hara's shot go a foot over the line, against wolves. glad he didn't.
If you want terrible decisions by the linesman - look no further than the Swansea disallowed goal from Sat, one of the worst decisions I've ever seen. Even at full speed it was clear it came off the defender.
The Hibs corner looked over the line to me...... https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/559693_10151827188254968_1989306968_n.jpg
