JH Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I agree with Aphrodite, there's no way he can rule the goal out based on the big screen. Not a chance. It can't do much to the mindset of the linesman though. He knows it was offside, the referee knows it was, the players know it was, the fans know and the benches know too. I'd be bricking it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aphrodite Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 How can the refree be proved wrong but still give the goal? f***ing disgraceful. Because the game would have to be replayed- it's happened before! But the game hadn't restarted at that point. He could still change his mind to the correct decision, we have seen similar things happen with referee's changing their minds with penalties and such. This game should be replayed in anyway, the damage is done, just like earlier today. That is referees changing a decision because of his assistant though- not a big screen. Referees CANNOT use video technology in a game- it's totally against the rules. As I said above, say Mexico score a goal now, does the guy put it on the big screen then? You're setting a dodgy prescedent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Jerusalem Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I don't know what to say if we don't get some sort of replay after this shambles of a tournament. Quoted for the bit in bold - the frailty of FIFA sticking to it's Victorian methodolgy of officiatiing is really being shown up today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Big screens are the problem, tbh. Don't want one at SJP. Me either. The fact they can't show replays is one of the reasons - so what's the point in that case? To watch the match on? I'll use my eyes, thanks, that's why I buy a ticket. Point of course is to show 90 minutes of Sports Direct ads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicago_shearer Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Farce of a first half to be followed by Argentinian rolling around on the ground for 45 minutes and the inevitable Diego "Eric Cartman" Maradona celebration waddle at the end. Changing the channel. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor Swift Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Horrible decision, but let's face it, it ain't the first in a WC and won't be the last. I've still really enjoyed this WC, especially everything after the first round of group games, like I have every other WC before. We've had some shocks, some big teams knocked out, some quality goals, some drama, lots of cards and now lots of goals. It's just a typical WC, imo.

Mike Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 Seriously, we have to get replay. Especially after England was fucked over. I mean, America..fuck America we don't even care about the sport, apparently. But England? Shit man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wait until Thailand gets there and gets fucked over. It's completely different when it's your team, man. I mean, I'm not hurt by this Mexico call, but I can imagine how the Mexicans feel. It's crazy that some asshole with a flag can destroy four years of preparation with his incompetence, and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.
