Reina should have cleared it off the pitch beforehand. It's a goal, they can't complain.

Didn't realise that the goal shouldn't have stood. Apparently it should've been a drop ball on the edge of the area. Nevermind, Liverpool lost  |

Never heard of that rule before? Good slice of luck for Sunderland and it was quite funny

According to MOTD, it's this law... Outside agents
Anyone not indicated on the team list as a player, substitute or team
offi cial is deemed to be an outside agent as is a player who has been
sent off.
If an outside agent enters the fi eld of play:
• the referee must stop play (although not immediately if the outside
agent does not interfere with play)
• the referee must have him removed from the fi eld of play and its
immediate surroundings
• if the referee stops the match, he must restart play with a dropped
ball in the position where the ball was at the time when the match
was stopped, unless play was stopped inside the goal area, in
which case the referee drops the ball on the goal area line parallel
to the goal line at the point nearest to where the ball was located
when play was stopped

I didn't know that either Sam. Obviously if it comes off the ref it stands but never really seen anything like that before.
Actually come to think of it when I was still playing we did once get a dog on the pitch chasing the ball along. He was quite good at dribbling. I think the ref gave a drop ball.
Talking of shit refs, my favourite ref I've ever had was absolutely useless. Newly qualified, clearly never played football, nervous and incompetent. If you shouted "penalty" enough times he'd give one regardless of where the ball was and what happened. You get the idea.
Anyway this one time he was running around and suddenly dropped to his knees shouting a muffled 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah'. We wondered what the fuck was wrong, and after a while he managed to tell us he was going to blow his whistle but bit his tounge instead. Honestly it was funny if you were there.
I wonder what happened to him (presumably promoted to the football league).

Yeah, but that's clearly all about people, not beach balls. So doesn't apply, surely? Wouldn't be the first time MOTD had had two or three goes at telling people what the rules are and got it wrong every time. If the outside agents rule applied to inanimate objects, then the similar Sheff Utd goal against Man City in the Cup a few years back should have been ruled out also. No mention of this law at the time which makes me think it's because it doesn't apply and MOTD are just talking shit |

They had a ref on Five Live, Ellery I think, and he said it should have been a drop ball.
I reckon the ref either didn't see the beach ball, or thought it was a balloon and insignificant otherwise I reckon he would have stopped play to have it removed. But as he didn't surely the goal has to stand. Add on the fact that their keeper could have removed it and their own fan threw it on the pitch then I'd say it should stand.

This. They might have pixellated the face of the lad who threw it on on MOTD, but he's all over YouTube. Might be an idea to get a convenient illness to keep him off school for the next week or so. |

as much as i love to see this happen to liverpool the ball didnt roll onto the pitch until Sunderland were attacking down the right hand side, Reina had no time to get it off, neither did Johnson when he went to block Bents shot

It was sat at the back of Reina's goal for several minutes before it rolled out to the edge of the six-yard box, presumably put there by Reina/one of the defenders putting it out of the way after it came on. They should learn to tidy up properly
