Indy 3,232 Posted July 26, 2020 As per main match thread you wouldn’t blame Bournemouth to take some form of action, as it’s clear Hawkeye is an integral part of any game and should have been working and VAR was for any clear and obvious errors......well that was the clearest error ever!

Kenny Foggo 1,105 Posted July 26, 2020 Maybe Bournemouth losing their premiership status is a bit of justice for breaking the FFP rules to get promoted... i know how much people like no money being spent on clubs, so this argument should prove very popular..

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted July 26, 2020 Shock. There has been a mistake. World Cup Finals aren't immune. Those who advocate technology have to stick with it. For now, those of us who think it plays no part in the game will smirk. It reminds me of the old joke. People board an aeroplane and a voice comes over the PA and says, "This plane is being completely controlled by a computer. It will pilot the plane. It will serve drinks and snacks and offload your luggage. It is foolproof and absolutely nothing can go wrong, go wrong, go wrong, go wrong . . . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Making Plans 929 Posted July 26, 2020 At the end of the day you can have all the technology in the World but the final decision will always be made by a human being. Therefore why have all these technological gadgets when the ref & 2 linesmen can do it just as well if not better. It's like all these gadgets you get in cars these days - it's just one more thing that you don't really need and you know that sooner or later it is going to go wrong. The EPL must have spent a fortune on all this kit plus the wages of the dummies who sit in a bunker and operate it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiery Zac 1,065 Posted July 26, 2020 Don’t know what happened there 👆 Not a technology issue but due to the wrongful transfers of Tevez and Mascherano to West Ham (could the powers that be have actually checked all was above board and stopped the moves?), Sheff Utd were eventually awarded compensation following relegation...weren’t they?

Rock The Boat 1,290 Posted July 26, 2020 Because satnav occasionally gets it wrong we should ban satnav. Actually the technology didnt get it wrong, we can see from the video that the ball crossed the line, the problem is the idiots in stockley park getting it wrong.

Well, it’s just relegated Bournemouth. Sums up the season. ‘Technology’ 👍 As I understand it the problem came about because goal-line technology had until then worked perfectly and, as I predicted when it was introduced, with many 'goals' that would have been given in the past, had shown that the ball has not crossed the line. In this case because the ref's watch did not buzz for a goal, apparently because bodies were blocking the technology, the VAR official was then caught between believing the evidence of their own eyes, assuming they saw an image as above,, and trusting the goalline technology. But with the pic above the ball looks to be only millimetres beyond the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
