  1. I think it'll be easy to score points - can see myself getting another 10 points, at least.
  2. COLLYMORE CLOSING IN! I only hit the bitch once ffs Very good.
  3. In before I changed it to capitals for effect.
  4. Neil's going to lose his shit like NUFC did in 96.
  5. "MESSY!" as in saying it was a bit of a scruffy goal but he'll take it.

    Best usage I've seen in a while.
  7. WTF, Shearer's in Poland or Ukraine so there is no way in fuck Jimburst could have seen him the other day, lying cunt.

    Alan Smith

    I'm ordering in a class takeaway, buying loads of nice beer and getting 10 grams of coke on the last day of his contract. Beat that!
  9. As if HBA has expressed any thoughts on the matter. Some people are just total scumbags.
  10. Money shouldn't be a problem, don't know why you're getting so bogged down in that.
  11. Fucking exactly man, getting so sick of this now.
  12. Bloody hell, it's a minefield then. Definitive technology is a yes, replays that will not necessarily be definitive and will possibly disrupt the game and/or bring more flak on to the referees is a no. I hadn't realised you were talking about football politics but I'd hope that FIFA would back this technology after noises they've made recently.
  13. Holy shit neesy, you've just completely contradicted yourself. I agree with your last sentence when you started making sense. i.e. Not one person, OK maybe one person ( ) wants goal line decisions to be decided by replays if other technology is there to be taken advantage of. Like you say if Cricket or Tennis can afford it, why can't football? That's what I'm saying. Beep in the referee's ear when the ball crosses the line is the ideal scenario, anything else can fuck off.
  14. Goal line decision-wise, if we can do it immediately so the ref knows straight away then great I'm all for it. Replays and I'm not so sure. Has the potential to be manipulated by cynical teams and open the door to every little decision being decided by replay, depending on the wishes of the team involved. You've lost the whole point. The referee would have the power for a reply on goal line decisions that's it. No one has said to use it for everything else. Don't be condescending you absolute knacker. Read my post. I said it would open the door to other decisions. And read my other post.
  15. Tonight's decision didn't even need new technology. A replay 10 seconds after showed it was over! Yes but they'd have to pause the match every time there was a marginal decision, whereas the new technology is meant to give the ref a signal as soon as the ball is in. And how many times during a match does a ball come off the line? Once max, so hardly stopping play. Play is stopped more for a Rory delay throw in! But that's the point though neesy, we're trying to take advantage of technology to decide definitive decisions that will not disrupt the pattern of play. If you can appeal these decisions with a replay then you're opening up a can of worms, imagine a situation where a team's 1-0 up towards the end of an important game and they get a chance quite obviously cleared off the line, they'll probably choose to appeal that decision to disrupt the momentum of the game, much like late subs which I also hate. This would also potentially stop the opposition's opportunity to break away and score. The big appeal on the side of the goal line technology debate is that it's clear and definitive and it doesn't affect the flow of the game, the ref gets a beep in his ear and that's the end of it. The more marginal decisions we can think about later, but to say we can decide goal line decisions via replay is daft IMO. Lunacy. 1). The flow of play is complete daft arguement. There are decisions now that take more than 30 secs to happen after a linesman confers with the referee I.e. bartons sending off v city is a good example. 2). The referee would have the power only and it would only be for goal line decisions. So how would that be unfair? 3). It's a million times cheaper than hawk eye and would only require a 5th video judge to be at games. 1) I don't know the incident like the back of my hand but wasn't the ball out of play when such decisions were being made? If so your point is redundant / you haven't read my post properly. It doesn't really matter if the ball's out of play and they're making decisions about red cards and the like, that's commonplace. 2) The ref would have the power only? So there's a marginal goal line clearance situation and the ref can choose to ignore the opposition breaking away in a likely goalscoring situation late in the game only to find out the ball never crossed the line? And the opposition gets a free kick in its own box for its troubles? 3) I don't know about the expense of fixing up a few microchips in the ball / goalposts VS paying an extra professional official each game, I doubt you do either. It shouldn't be important anyway if you're that arsed about getting the decisions right, in theory the proposed technology should be able to do that better than cameras.
