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

meh! never said anything of the kind. in fact, i said the total opposite of this. anyway, let it lye now, eh. it has nothing what so ever to do with the topic in which, there have been some cracking posts.

OK! most steriotypical remarks are disguised in many forms,usually with an apology to decent people first but finished off with usual bad comment, like a stick to beat Liverpool people with. As you where offended by the stab remark people here may find it offensive if others assume its got something to do with being from Liverpool,its wrong and i wanted to point it out.Your questions are valued here and most will greet you properly, with respect!.

Can you buy them online, i gotta get me one of them

I feel I need to apologize to you footie fan, it was a complete joke. It's kind of in line with the humerus banter of this forum- tend not to take things too seriously. Being new here I can see how you where offended. So I am genuinely really sorry

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. TRUE. But have it in place at EPL venues anyway, since they are televised.

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. IRRELEVANT. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong, only that the laws are correctly and equally applied to both teams.

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?Several solutions exist, either a referral system as used in cricket or tennis, or on all point-scoring calls (as essentially per rugby, though with penalty appeals automatically referred)

4) it's natural as is.it's flawed 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.IRRELEVANT. Football does not exist to support officials, officials exist to support football

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.IRRELEVANT. Sorry, but at the rec you're not playing for an 80m pound prize at the end of the season - decisions matter much more in the EPL

7) the game will have less flow IRRELEVANT, since most of the game is spent wasting time with throw-ins, free kicks, and goal kicks and arguing with the referee about marginal calls anyway.

8) sky control the photography output from the english game. what effects that would have are infinite. IRRELEVANT. Sky already owns football

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 IRRELEVANT. Don't all marginal/unsighted calls go in favour of the defensive team already?

10) it doesn't feel right.FALSE

I feel I need to apologize to you footie fan, it was a complete joke. It's kind of in line with the humerus banter of this forum- tend not to take things too seriously. Being new here I can see how you where offended. So I am genuinely really sorry

cheers mate! sorry for the negativity I bought to the board.

So, two years after this thread was made, we now have this system installed.

My polls across Europe were of course the reason the FA decided to implement said changes : P

Well, what do you think?
