  Sunday 5th December 1999 : Opinions differ over Mustoe 'goal'

Neil Mustoe and referee Mark Cowburn were understandably at odds about whether the midfielder's free kick crossed the line in yesterday's game.

Muzzy said in today's Sport First, "It definitely looked over the line to me and it would have been a crucial equaliser."

However Blackpool referee Cowburn affirmed, "The ball hadn't crossed the line and that was confirmed by the reaction of the Cambridge players nearest the ball."

On the pitch he was unmoved by the furious appeals from several United players, although many in the ground and press box thought Bournemouth 'keeper Mark Ovendale stopped the ball behind the line and then shuffled it forward.
