LIFE'S A BEACH
... Darren Bent fires in Sunderland's winner off a
beachball
The Cheshire ref allowed Darren Bent's winner against
Liverpool to stand after it cannoned in off a red beachball thrown
on to the pitch by a young Kop fan.
But the effort should have been chalked off and the
match stopped.
JONES ... goal
blunder
Jones, 41, in his second League season, will be asked
to explain his actions - as will his three assistants - after all
appeared unsure about the rules.
According to FIFA's laws, the goal should have been
disallowed because of 'outside interference'.
Jones will be hammered when the Professional Game Match
Officials board meets today.
Former top ref Dermot Gallacher said: "It was such a
glaring error. Everybody knows that when something encroaches on to
the pitch the game stops."
