Why do Ref's Assistants check the Goals ? ...

For our younger brethren, and to further depress any Scottish posters, here's a flashback to the 1986/7 UEFA Cup Final 2nd Leg

You win over 2 legs over Racing Club Lens ( France ), Hajduk Split ( Yugoslavia ), UFC Craiova ( Romania ), Borussia M.G.( West Germany ), Barcelona ( Spain ), including a 2-1 win in the Nou-Camp...and you play against IFK Gothenberg in a two-legged final ..

Just watch the Gothenberg goal again, it goes through the side netting, hits the back stanchion of the goal and nestles in the net ! That's why they do it !!
