2000: Stoke 0-0 Man Utd The number of crisp packets on the pitch is in danger of outnumbering players at the Britannia as both sides battle with the elements. Manchester United are having more of the ball but they've not hurt the hosts yet.
It's a worrying epidemic minty. A gust of wind, an empty bag of of McCoys. If the corner of one of them gets you in the eye as you gallop down the wing, it could cause some damage. Granted it's a long shot. But it's gonna happen one day.
I can see an instance where a ball is just cleared off the line at the same time a Saino's carrier crosses the line proper. Hawk eye goes into meltdown and buzzes the ref that it's a goal. If not this season then maybe next. A calamity waiting to happen.
West Brom were the first to latch on to this issue. That's why they modeled their kit on tesco carrier bags. please log in to view this image please log in to view this image
And that's hawkeyes flaw right there. For all their PhD's and masters, the boffins just couldn't see it. Nothing less than gross negligence.
