Yup, the goal was basically a shot in, Friedel (or maybe a defender) blocks it, it bounces out to Zamora who has a second shot at it and it hits Tevez on the goal line and bounces out. Ball went on the goal line twice, but never fully crossed the line (Never even half the ball crossed for that matter) and yet the assistant called it a goal. So not only did the ball never cross the line, but Tevez was in an offside position when he interfered with the ball and thus shouldn't have been a goal either.
Pretty well all 11 Blackburn players plead their case to the assistant to no avail.
The PK that got West Ham their first goal was questionable, but I could kind of see it, even though there wasn't any intent and seemed more accidental than anything.
