sums up the officials in this league. more interested in making sure the ball isn't moved an inch forward at free kick and the like than getting the important decisions right.
 
Tough one. Everyone watching on TV thought it hit the cross bar..with the replay it then shows how far in the ball went. But I can understand how the linesman couldn't tell with the quickness of the play and his sight obstructed by the net and side post.

Not as clear cut as ours vs manU or England vs Germany.. But just put the technology and let's get on with it please...

Although (and this coming from someone involved in tech) technology in general proved over the years to be buggy. So what if, and for some bug or reason, the tech indicated goal when the ball does not completely cross the line? What's the next step?

Video tech is better..I am not gonna trust ball technology

:rolleyes:
 
I have to admit, I never liked Neville in his playing days but he's the best commentator Sky have had for a long time.

This. I like how honest he is. Hopefully Sky don't try and tone him down and turn him into every other commentator.
 
Sky presenter: "Bob Pollock - a name that will long live with QPR fans..."

Come back Richard, all is forgiven.
 
I reckon refs and linesmen need courses in basic mechanics. That ball wouldn't have hit the bar and come out at the angle it did unless it had been over the line to start with.

How many times this season has ball-over-line been an issue in the Prem. League? Because that's the first one I can remember.

And yet people say, as the commentator just has, that it "happens too often". Does it really? I think it's a storm in a teacup, a peripheral issue and just part of the game. If the goaline technology works and instant decision can be made and, fine, but I do get a pain in my hoop they way people act as though it happens in every second game.

Indeed, doesn't matter if it only happens once, once is too much. If the Mendes goal that wasn't given at Old Trafford was the only goalline incident that season, we wouldn't be thinking "Ah well, it only happened once, never mind!"
