Premier League 2019–?

I’m not a scientist but it seems a bit pointless replacing the shaking of hands with touching fists and then having a little cuddle.

 

[Partizan]

That Man City bench is absolutely ridiculous

 

[Bobbins]

The problem is we have all been happily carrying on for years trusting hawkeye for every decision around the goalline. Even when it comes down to a mm we believe it. But if its shown that it can sometimes not work that changes everything.

Nah it doesn’t. There’s a difference between the tech not sensing the position of the ball correctly, and someone forgetting to switch it on before the game. It’s the one piece of tech which has always been proven to work.

Probably a bonus for arsenal that ozil and Luiz aren’t playing.

It’s not the technology itself that’s ever been the problem though. It’s always how it‘s administered by humans, and how human errors are dealt with.

Football’s never been good at acknowledging and correcting its errors, and technology can’t really help with that.

Hawkeye released a statement. They said the position of the players and the goal post occluded enough of the cameras to prevent the system from working. The first time it's happened in 9000 matches they said.

On a football pitch or in the workplace in general?

Bollocks. They didn’t turn it on.

True, but VAR did, for example, prevent us losing to City in the CL QF, which would’ve been just another on the long list of times we’d been absolutely screwed over by officials had the goal not been correctly disallowed.

Of course the flip side then occurred in the final where humans used technology (simple replays) to award history’s dodgiest penalty against us because we all know who had to win that match.

What’s more amazing is that it didn’t happen to us!

All well and good but a bit ridiculous on their part when the TV camera can show daylight between ball and post.

p.s not a dig at you I appreciate you’re just passing it on!

 

[Phomesy]

That Man City bench is absolutely ridiculous

Can't wait until the Powers That Be allow more oil sheik kingdoms to concentrate all the football talent in three or four teams in the wrold

 

[spursfan77]

Xhaka looks to be coming off. Does their luck know no bounds!

 

[Oscar22]

Never realised how much I rely on the names on shirts for some teams!

Finally a bit of commentary everyone can agree with no matter what team they support:

Tyler: “Where IS Jamie Carragher?”

Neville: “Who cares?”

indeed gents, indeed.

 

[thecook]

Haha Carragher out there in the rain. Well, it's spitting anyway

 

[ajspurs]

Really does feel like one of those pre-season games they have in Asia where there's often torrential rain.

 

[thecook]

Looks like another one down injured. Gutting

 

[spursfan77]

KDB already looks the best player on the park. No way he stays there if they get a two year champions league ban. He’s too good.

 

[Gbspurs]

Looks like another one down injured. Gutting

Probably going to happen to us too.

 

[EQP]

Probably going to happen to us too.

My first thought as well. I'm putting money down that we'll be 1st team forced to use all 5 subs.
