What a spot!

From the Scottish Cup Final, go to 2:50-3:25 and watch the additional assistant.

It was 1-0 to St Johnstone (Blue) at this point so could have changed the game making it 2-0.

Apparently the referee and assistant on the line didnt see it and were giving the goal but the additional assistant was straight on Comms telling the ref handball.

well he was looking straight at it from about 10 yards way with an unobstructed view....i'd reserve the exclamation mark for the fact that a 5th official did his job properly

compare and contrast with that farce of a penalty save in the europa cup final

between 2:00 and 2:30

@haywain I meant that in terms of its significance it was a fantastic spot as opposed to how easy it was haha If the additional assistant wasn't there then it could have tainted the final.

betfred on talksport boosted the odds on a 2-0 st johnstone win to 16-1. wise after the event

I'm shocked - the commentator agreed with the match officials
