Re: In the fa cup robbery I seem to remember Lorimer hit one from outside the box and the ref disallowed it because he was blowing for time and he said he'd 'finished blowing it before the ball crossed the line'. Maybe it's just my warped memory. It was in the days of black & white tv.

FAO Davycc: I lived in La Zenia a few miles south of Torrevieja (Alicante province) for 2 years, then moved to a place called Calasparra in Murcia region which is about an hour and a half inland. I now live in Brigg, N.lincolnshire but still spend a fair bit of time in Spain as I haven't sold the place there.

Thanks to all for the welcome.

No, it was a free kick, just outside the area and the ref disallowed it because (from memory) there was a problem with the Chelsea wall. So Chelsea, who gave the foul away, got an advantage. The ref (can't remember who) got a lot of stick from the press.

Ken Burns, the list of referees who have robbed us is a long one. I remember it from the Glory years VHS tape I've still got!
