#9 Paddy Connolly: Dundee United vs Partick Thistle - 1993 Scottish Premier League
The Scottish Premier League also had a brush with the ghost goal phenomenon. The referee and the linesman made one of the biggest gaffes the game has ever seen.
From a routine corner kick, United forward Connolly smashed his effort into the net, hammered against the goal support (read the stanchion) and bounced out. A Thistle defender picked up the ball recognizing that the goal had been scored but referee Les Mottram waved to play on.
The ghost goal was missed, and in the process the referee also missed the blatant handball by the defender when he picked up the ball.
