As a football fan, I’m more than used to seeing teams I support make mistakes. To err is human, so that’s something I just learn to live with. After all, referees are human too.

But gross mistakes in history that could have been avoided with the use of instant replay (and saved me from a lot of shouting at the TV) include Frank Lampard’s goal against Germany in the 2010 World Cup that wasn’t given despite being two feet behind the line; Thierry Henry’s handling of the ball before crossing it in for a goal, which meant France qualified over Ireland for the same World Cup; and most famously, Maradona’s “Hand of God” against England when he scored his infamous non-goal by netting the ball with his fist.
