The Premier League Thread

Can't wait to see the graphic. It'll probably show the ball on the half way or something...

 

[tomw24]

I reckon there's a tiny, tiny slither of the ball that didn't go over the line.

Controversy! And it's not VAR's fault!

Cough, well VAR might've tipped the wink there.

Oh deep joy to be discussing all this loverly bollocks again.

Is Declan Rice deliberately being provocative, or is he just being a twat?

Good job we've got technology to get these big decisions right.

 

[st_brendy]

I've got complete sympathy with the officials, because this is a totally unexpected event. GLT is meant to be accurate, and hence VAR shouldn't be needed to over rule it. But after that, maybe in the future, it will be agreed that VAR can trump GLT in extreme circumstances.

Something appears to have gone wrong here but goal line technology has been a roaring success overall so you really can't take that stance.

Yeah I know but if you thought I was a tiresome **** before then you're in for a hell of a shock.

 

[tomw24]

I reckon it's a problem with the watch.

According to a whatsapp group* I'm in var could have overruled.


**** var


*yeah I know but I'm assuming they're watching it.

Actually I doubt it as I'm sure the 4th official's watch will also be set up for GDS.

 

[Saints Fan4Life]

They've said the goal line technology will now be working for the 2nd half.

What an absolute farce

 

[tomw24]

That goal line faux pas could yet have serious consequences at the bottom end of the table.

I thought you were meant to be some kind of refereeing guru who knows all?

Well it's not is it. Something went badly wrong in that moment but they can hardly have it not working for the rest of the match.

Genuine question, does Jack Grealish actually wear shinpads?

Yes otherwise he wouldn't be allowed on the pitch.

Must be the smallest shinpads in the world then, you can see most of his leg.

Good job var was brought in to make sure we don't get any blatant errors.
