saying players have aspects of ability "in their locker" is something Keown has in his locker

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

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

I think this beats colombia-greece for least balanced game so far
― ogmor, Sunday, 15 June 2014 20:25 (ten years ago) link
pearce being an old fool notwithstanding the goal line tech was genuinely impressive. 2-3 seconds before the goal was given, right?
wonder why got is that shitty cartoon and not an actual image tho, seems to be inviting this type of mistrust
― dn/ac (darraghmac), Sunday, 15 June 2014 20:26 (ten years ago) link
glt
i wd distrust the tech more if there was a longer delay cos that wd imply human observation was part of the process?

this. without a "real" picture you just nudge the level of contention up a layer

xxp absolutely. naively there's no reason for the hawkeye stuff to take as long as it does. you could do the calculations with a graphical calculator.

Rob Harris @RobHarris · 9mThe GoalControl goal-line tech system margin of error is +/-1.5cm - could the France goal have been inside that?

haha at twitter football wronguns rallying around this obvious non-issue in the proud tradition of the 9/11 deniers and mens right activists before them
― random accies memories (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 15 June 2014 20:35 (ten years ago) link
FIFA only require 3cm. Still, it does seem like a relatively large margin of error

Henry Winter is tragically silent re: the issue so far
― random accies memories (Sgt. Biscuits), Sunday, 15 June 2014 20:38 (ten years ago) link
perhaps fatally kicked by another monk pre-kickoff
and it is a bit weird that FIFA decided against using the system every other sport uses

kind of hoping at this point that an incredibly precise post-match replay from a previously uneseen angle shows Pearce to have been right all along
