I had the same thought Doomy for years but not until I found footage taken from a different angle shows the ball out by least a foot....
However it doesn't excuse the linesman taking a guess of the ball being out or in because he wasn't fit enough to keep up with the speed of the game.
Long journey back that day and over the years for Mansfield Town supporters...
But now the future is Yellow n Blue....
History in the making......

I'd love to see the footage you mention. This one only gives a distant view and it can't be seen to be completely over the line. Mind you, the linesman clearly had x-ray binoculars if he was certain that the whole ball was clear of the line. Also he appears to be flagging offside, although perhaps the "ball out of play" signal is the same.
