I was just about to jump in and correct you.
Yes , St John's shot hit the bar, and Mc cue cleard it. I was in Chaddy end, and have no idea if the ball had crossed the line. And I vowed that day that nobody could tell if shots that hit the underside of the bar had actually crossed the line, therefore if the ball didn't end up in the net you should play on. Could anyone say for certain, that the Hurst goal against Germany, even after endless replays, had actually crossed the line.
And at our level of football we are still no wiser to whether a goal should stand under the same circumstances.
