KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum question for liverpool fans

I presime you voted against then?


I'd far rather see the game slowed down a bit than my team being denied three points because of some 'arf baked idiot dressed in black that should really have spent the afternoon in Specsavers.

Do statistics show a significant drop in 'fan base; for Rugby after the onset of technology in their game btw?

I watch Rugby League also and the video ref actually adds to the excitment. Also if the game lasts longer I have no problem at all with that given I have paid £50 to watch it.

Good point well made.
Have a seasonal carrot as a reward Stan!

I don't watch rugby much, but the bits I have seen when the game stops for some 'technological' evidence to be provided, really does give you a sense of a sort of high drama and tension, awaiting the outcome.
Well it would even more so in footie imo.

sorry for the delay in getting back to you mate. i'm on 70 odd forums at the moment in 4 different languages >.<

i can give you a list of 10 of the most common

1) the F.A. Cup would be a difficult competition to carry out this proposal as it involves teams through out the footballing tiers of the country.

2) any mistake made by an official is either for or against. in the history of the game, it has been extremely rare to see a decision that effects both teams. to this end, whatever the decision, 1 of the 2 teams benefits.

3) how would it be administered in real-time. that is to say, who decides which calls go before the photographers eyes and which stay on the park with the officials. how close does the call have to be to deem photographic intervention?

4) it's natural as is.

5) where does technology end. photography is introduced to please the doubters. then the doubters want more. the linesmen to be replaced by machines going up and down the sidelines with each football player having a digital chip fitted into their boots that the line machine reads for on and off side.

6) when you play football down the rec, there is little to no difference between the action there, and the action at on the telly. photography will widen this close affinity that every day dave has to the game.

7) the game will have less flow

8) sky control the photography output from the english game. what effects that would have are infinite.

9) what happens if the camera's view is blocked during the decision in question? would the decision then revert back to the officials? in which case, what's the point to begin with

10) it doesn't feel right.

I ment to do this earlier but just for the record this is funny.

This is not. I'm sure it was a joke though.

What are they going to use it for though? Are we just talking goal line tech or all types of incident tech?

Goal line tech is needed, but to stop the game for other things may really drain the game.

Better bloody piggin' well 'ad 'ave been, albeit a sh1te one!

Let's simply cast our minds back a couple of matches ago ey?

Spearing?

Firstly, apologies for that pathetic, stupid comment. He has never come across as a bad poster on here, so I have to assume he was completely joking - a joke in appallingly bad taste at that. Not only is that not a fair representation of the fans on here, but it's not something that ever rears it's head. As I say - just a joke in disgusting taste.
