Enough is enough, Wimbledon's AI line judges must go - and there's a simple fix to the shambles caused by the juvenile stampede towards technology: JEFF POWELL
To this day there is not one shred of pictorial evidence to prove that Geoff Hurst's shot against the crossbar, which gave Bobby Moore's merry band of men their crucial extra-time lead, bounced behind the German goal line. For certain Sir Geoff himself would not have gone on to become the first player ever to score a hat trick in a World Cup final, and then be knighted for that achievement.

Hibs 'excited' to get their man as club-record transfer fee lands striker Thibault Klidje
Hibs have broken their transfer record to land highly-rated striker Thibault Klidje from Swiss side Luzern. The 24-year-old Togo international will arrive at Easter Road on a three-year deal after the club lavished a seven-figure fee which tops the £700,000 they spent on Ulises de la Cruz over two decades ago. Klidje started out at Togolese clubs Espoir Tsevie and Gomido before earning a move to French side Bordeaux in 2020. Two years later he signed for Luzern, with his importance to the Swiss Super League side growing across his three seasons. Last season he managed 12 goals as his team finished sixth in the top flight, sparking interest from a number of European clubs. On the international stage, he has earned 18 caps for Togo and scored two goals. 'We're delighted to have attracted someone of Thibault's quality to the football club,' said head coach David Gray. 'He adds extra pace and trickery to our front line and performed well for Luzern last season. At 24, he has a lot of room for development. We want to help him progress and look forward to working with him.' Sporting director Malky Mackay added: 'We have been tracking Thibault for a long period of time and are excited to have finally got our man. I would firstly like to thank the Gordon family and our board for showing this ambition and investment. It's been our aim to continue to add top quality young strikers to our club and we have been given the chance to do that with Thibault. 'He is a young, driven, ambitious player who importantly wants to come and play for Hibs. We welcome him to Easter Road and look forward to him pulling on the strip.' Klidje becomes the club's fourth signing of the window following the arrivals of Jamie McGrath, Raphael Sallinger and Josh Mulligan.
