You’re getting brutally fisted in that one anyway unless they pick up a load of injuries tomorrow. A nice weekend of dancing topless in a London fountain anyway.

Stranger things have happened tbf - Wigan beating City int he FA cup final, Birmingham beating Arsenal, Man U beating City in the final last year etc.
The Gordon suspension is bad, but not fatal....the Pope red before the final 2 years ago completely destabilised the team and we had no chance there. We have a slim one here, although Slot seems to give much more of a **** about the league cup than Klopp did, so it won't be a weakened Liverpool team. Meh.
You don't like tech unless it's tech you like. You're just wishing for the good old days, forgetting how those good old days really were. Whatever people don't have anymore, is always going to be the thing that people think will make everything better.Because the idea of football being refereed by AI makes me want to shoot myself in the head.
I'd rather eat my own **** than go to a fan meet convention, whatever the **** that is.
Or you’re just being a contrarian talking up something that is so clearly **** and deters from the sport.
I grew and lived through years of appalling refereeing performances and I remember widespread anger and disbelief of officials' decisions. I think both scenarios are ****. Clearly quite a few of you enjoy the controversy of regularly wrong decisions. I don't. So we can just disagree. The only fix I want to see is taking inept humans out of the refereeing equation. Tennis is an example of a sport where they've gotten rid of inept humans making incorrect line call decisions and using almost instantaneous computer decisions. Just get it done.
It’s almost like 99.9% of the decisions in tennis are about whether a ball is over a line.
Yeah no doubt but hopefully not next season so I can celebrate our 3 goals at Fratton.
Luckily since VAR came in we don't get any appalling decisions or controversy anymore.
Which is why they've already done it now. For sports with more context behind some of the rules, it will take time to train an AI. But it's not hard for someone who knows what they're doing to train an AI with context. And the decision-making will still be objective, based on rules, unbiased, and instantaneous.
Or it will make me want to lob myself on train tracks* after the game.
*If I'm allowed to get the train of course.
Yes, exactly. Like i said, the current situation is **** because it's still ultimately controlled by inept humans. Old situation was ****. New situation is ****. It's **** because they are **** humans controlling it.
If that’s true we’d all be in agreement after various replays whether a decision was correct or not now. The laws of the game are often subjective and your mythical robot overlords won’t change that.
Fratton station was an absolute joke. Letting nowhere near enough people into the station to board half-empty trains. Strange area.
Sounds like one of my (many) arguments against VAR in the first place. Giving **** officials technology won't make them good officials.
Regarding your AI idea you're still ignoring the fact that basically every rule is subjective and therefore not black and white like goal line tech or your tennis example.
Plus AI will have to be developed by humans who will carry the same flaws and biases.
You got there first.
Fixed lines, in or out.
Footballers and football is played all over the pitch in hundreds of random positions and hundreds of different scenarios. It's not even close to being the same.
