Not only is Elleray standing with a clear, uninterrupted view of the goal and the ball, but he actually overrules his linesman who awards the goal without any hesitation. I can't imagine how much this must hurt for Chesterfield fans.
Even though Boro are not the best or worse team in the world, over the years, there's been many great games and many great players. You have to give them some credit.
I was at that game! And what a game it was! Nigel pearson boro centre back at that time gave my familly tickets to this game! Something that wouldn't happen these days
David Elleray robbed Chesterfield that day, not just the ball over the line, but actually some terrible decisions - even if he didnt think that was a penalty, the defender climbs all over the attacker, it should of been a penalty if it wasnt over the line
Ahhh brings back awesome memories.I wonder what path we would have taken had David Ellery not got the disallowed goal so wrong.I was right where Hewitt celebrated and stood on my seat and fell backwards on to some poor granny
@@jauregizar and it sucks. Mistakes are absolutely part and parcel to any sport. Now, everyone would be looking around to wait to celebrate. I think VAR is kinda meh.
The 'first leg' tag is incorrect, its the FA Cup semi final, there is no first or second leg. It simply went to extra time, finished a draw and meant a replay took place.
David Elleray definitely cheats Chesterfield in this game, even if he didnt think it was over the line (which it was), he should have given chesterfield a penalty as the defender climbs on the back of the forward when it bounces back off the bar. Elleray was always a crap referee.
Chesterfield should have won this game. If that goal had been given, it would have been 3-1, maybe they would have even got a 4th before full-time. Sadly it wasn't to be.

Lol at the 'Boro keeper calling the ref a "fucking twat"
And almost 16 years later, we STILL don't have goal-line technology!
We do now!

wow sean dyche!
why does this go to extra time when it is only the first leg? whats the point in playing to extra time if there is going to be a replay anyway

Chester were not actually playing

The day football died, Don`t want to patronize you spireites, but it would have been great if a lower league team had got to the fa.cup final,
This is just sickening to watch, we were robbed
as a Chelsea fan - "Di Matteoooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
Chesterfield should have won this game. If that goal had been given, it would have been 3-1, maybe they would have even got a 4th before full-time. Sadly it wasn't to be.
