linesman

On commentary for Sky Sports on the night of 6 September 1995 was Martin Tyler, who initially thought the referee's whistle must have gone - after all, the linesman put his flag up - but play continued.

"In, out... there's no mistake, nothing happening. Definitely you've got to feel for those linesmen and those people. That's a bit tough for them, but it's pretty black or white with the calling."

"When the computer makes a decision, you have no one to point the finger at. It's more of a guess. I don't know how the linesman makes a conclusive decision."

It said the team of three overhead linesmen and two vehicles left the Channel Islands to assist on Saturday.

I had a pop at the linesman in the second half over an offside call and gave him a bit of stick.
