World Cup 2014

it was only over for a fraction of a second and the little bounce was deceptive but I trust the tech

keown is more intelligent than the ex robot wars guy

That was a delicious moment of cognitive dissonance.

"it's not the system they use in the premier league"

pearce you dolt

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.

jesus pearce what is wrong with you

"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?

obviously didn't go to the induction session

lol at resident calculator of the mass of the universe being impressed by the speed of glt

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

This is just straight thuggery

imago will be pleased

lol old people and technology, pearce and goal line tech like trying to teach my dad how to use an iphone

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

Pearce is a fucking idiot, doesn't even recognise an o.g. When he sees one.

"not good enough" - a man with an iq of 85

player like Pearce obv not happy about the concept of things the ref can't see being brought to justice

not that kind of Pearce darragh

unless you mean playa like pearce?

This is just straight thuggery

imago will be pleased

i mean i'm sure he's played at some point in his life but

now blaming the local director

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

historians will analyse this game to identify the exact moment when Jonathan Pearce's brain broke and turned into the brain of Alan Green

Pearce the second biggest disaster of this World Cup after the official McDonald's fantasy league.

he should genuinely be sacked for that shit. Embarrassing

Lol 'he's more of a man really'

pat nevin - "I don't think it has gone over the line. I am disagreeing with the technology. That is not a goal."

Where does the bbc find these idiots?

bring back phil novocaine

this of course hot on the heels of Tyldsley's own marathon session of inexplicable denial re: the rationale for the Uruguay penalty

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

Lineker all doing This Facial Expression when they cut back, solemnly apologising for the issues with Jonathan Pearce

Richard Keys @richardajkeys
That wasn't in. At any time. Told you this technology wasn't fool proof.

I think he ended up saying Izzy had "stupid" in his locker.

If it's not good enough for Keyesey it's good enough for me.

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.

what debate pearce you fool?

pearce AGAIN

haha. Jonathan's having a bad night.

He. Did. Not.

Never expected this to be the drama of the night.

LOLLLL 3 nil!! nm the location of those posts...

'I thought it was in Martin'

so is that 3 nil or 2 nil to france jonathon?

Pearce number one worldwide trend on twitter, just throw him under the bus and start scrolling the tweets across the screen

'Martin'

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

alongside the five month-old ginsters and a poster of lucy pinder

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
