I have a vague memory of a game at Barnet where the ref blows for full-time just before a shot that is in midair goes in. Anyone confirm this or have I dreamt it?
Wilts there was a famous incident like that in the 1978 World Cup in the Brazil vs Sweden fixture, when the ref blew for full time just as a header (for Sweden to equalise?) was about to cross the line..

Rovers were 2-0 down and Peter Heritage had a shot from distance, the ref blew for time and the ball ended up in the net. I think the ref was Paul Danson, who was completely useless.

Thanks TRB, although wasn't it Andy Crosby rather than the wing commander?

I seem to recall it was Coops shot that Camp fumbled. My friend who is a photographer captured it quite clearly, the ball did not cross the line.
Stuart Elliott at home to Forest in our first season in the championship keeper made a mess of it and the ball was about a foot over the line but not given
