The Football.....

[classic33]

Your first post was about current pitch dimensions, when someone was quoting removing lines….

then your 2nd post went off in a tangent about no lines at all back in the day…….then you went back to current dimensions again, none of your posts were at all coherant.

Pitch dimensions are the same now as when they were first drawn up. The only real difference is FIFA use metric measurements, not imperial.

Easy enough follow.

Only 5 unbeaten teams after the group games.
Group A. Netherlands.
Group B. England & U.S.A.
Group F. Morocco & Croatia.

You really just need to check what was posted, and not just by me. Who was being answered is a big clue.

You was answering me….in 3 of your 4 posts. Now please stop replying or i will put you on ignore

Sorry but I cannot agree. By chance it was shown again on BBC two minutes ago.

People are being paid to give these decisions. It's well known Qatar paid to get the tournament and now money is deciding results.

So do you think the overhead shots are fake?

Is there any reason why you are always so aggressive?

Your signature means you should be staying away from everyone, because the aggressive way you respond makes it look to most as though you are arguing with almost every post.

Nothing agressive in the above……one could deem your post towards @PaulSB to be aggressive just because he doesnt agree with others opinions. But its ok for you to question him, but no one else is allowed…..if you dont like my posts, just ignore me, many others do and many many others dont.

Ridiculous. The ball is out. Any fan can see that. Any fan would be bitterly aggrieved to see his/her team go out under such circumstances.

The linesman called it out. If the camera can't see that the only place in football for that camera is a bin behind the stadium.

A ridiculous decision and one has to wonder how much it cost.

It’s a 50/50 call. VAR shouldn’t be over ruling that. Like umpires call in cricket, if it’s within a margin or error you stick with the on field decision.
If the line was the actual goal line not just the touch line and an England goal was chalked off because the ball wasn’t over the line everyone would be saying it was definitely a goal.

They only came in when the rules were drawn up in a garden shed in Sheffield. The pitch size, and markings, were a Hull "invention"/decision.

Basically it's a Yorkshire game.

No wonder its full of arguments then

Ehhhhh...... NO!

Rediculous thing the whole issue is solvable with technology but that costs money which has to be spent on transfer fees, players salaries etc. Instant indication of a ball wholly crossing a line would otherwise be in use.

I dont think transfers, player salaries etc etc has anything to do with fifa bringing in new technology to the game……and goal line technology is already in play for goals, wouldnt take much to add a few cameras to touchlines to do the same thing. I mean thats how they got the actual picture of the ball not going out of play for the japan goal, so no reason why it couldnt be extended.

If you think there is nothing aggressive in "Now please stop replying or i will put you on ignore" then I don't know what you would consider to be.

And I have absolutely no idea whatsoever where you get "But its ok for you to question him, but no one else is allowed" from. If you can find anything I've said which might suggest that, please point it out.

They have been bringing in more and more technology, and in fact that WAS used in this case to solve the issue.

Just that some people who haven't seen that overhead shot are determined they know better than the technology.
