i mean sure i'm happy to trust the tech but you have no choice but to trust the tech without a clear picture of the ball fully across the line

Pearce is a moron. Keown got there in the end.

"second replay" what are you talking about?
How is a commentator confused so easily that he can't grasp there were two separate incidents measured by the device?

that is exactly the kind of situation goal line technology is designed for because there's no way the ref would have been able to call it

I did like how he managed to make it the fault of the Germans in the end.

Pearce just called a linesman the referee too now, send him on the first plain back. Or to itv.

there's this desperation to manufacture refereeing controversy and break it down to "moments". the idea that the likes of robbie savage might be required to organize their thoughts in paragraphs and analyse formation, tactics, etc. induces utter panic.

now isn't the time for a philosophy sesh and god knows i am not defending the existence of Keys or Nevin but the problem with goal-line tech is that it is still susceptible of doubt, albeit a degree of doubt most likely to be found amongst the exceptionally bovine, but those were the people that liked arguing the toss about technology in the first people
― Naamloze vennootschap (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 15 June 2014 20:24 (ten years ago) link

yeah I'm personally speeding ahead on the curve and am at the point of sympathetic solidarity with Pearce's night of blunders
