GOAL LINE TECH IN CRISIS!

Why, the ref got the system decision straight away and gave the goal.

Surely it was just the replay was delayed.

Adamocovic

"Which replay should we listen to?" What are the commentators on about no confusion it's over the line! What is with the confusion??!

GreNoLi

haha.

GavRedKing

What are Hondoruas whinging about? The goal line technology isnt wrong ffs.

Benzema will hardly get that will he?

Commentators lose the rag- clearly a goal

What's the controversy? The first attempt didn't go in, it then hit the keeper and went over. The game doesn't just stop because the first attempt didn't cross the line :pac:

He thinks its the same incident - saying which replay do we believe .. idiot.

shrewdness

What's the drama here? GLT showed it crossed the line after coming off the keeper. It was stupid though to flash up "no goal" after it hitting the post because that just gave Honduras hope.

murpho999

BBC not happy as the GLT is German!

Washington Irving

That was fun.

Moneymaker

Honduras ain't finishing this game with 10.

Exactly. What are they saying about the most controversial decision yet?? Ridiculous commentating, no doubt it's a goal why are they making a big deal about it, it showed both incidents to clarify when it crossed the line, no complaints.

CurryFlavoured

Embarrassing commentary there on BBC - "Oh my God it's a goal, hang on no it's not. Oh the controversy! Wait it is a goal! What's going onnnnnnnnn?"

It was blatantly a goal according to the technology. We all knew it wasn't in when it hit the post ffs!

Hulk Hands

That worked perfect and was pretty cool. Its the stupidity of people getting the better of them that causes the fuss

GreNoLi

Pearce's critical thinking abilities under scrutiny, what a tiresome bluster bag he is.

I really don't know what all the confusion is about. The commentator is going on about the first bit saying no goal and that its technically still in play then goes over the line so goal. What bloody technicality? Its in play then goes in. Idiots.

Kerrydude1981

Ball hits post no goal flashes up,cue melt down in the BBC commentary box

Cienciano

What were they saying on BBC? I was watching on RTE

martingriff

what is wrong with the BBC commentator even the co commentator shows its over the line. Yes the first instance should not have been shown also but it was over the line

Darkglasses

Nonsense from the BBC commentary team. The technology worked perfectly

murpho999

THey're are still going on about it.

There were two incidents with the ball at the line and the system said no goal with one and carried on to the second and gave the goal.

What is wrong with that?

It didn't cross the line. The whole ball has to cross over the full width of the line. Looking from above you need to be able to see green between the the line and the ball.

Be better off if they used the technology that was used in the EPL last season. The ball crosses the line and the ref get a signal to his watch. Simples. Too much delay with this other shite.

Turtwig

Does Peter Collins think the referee called a goal without the technology?
Surely he knows about the referee watch.

Extremely doubtful. Has it been awarded it provisionally?

That's what they use. We just get wonderful . Replay animations.

CurryFlavoured

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. And they're STILL looking at replays.

It's Peter Collins and he was a little confused by the first incident but then got it from what I saw.

Peter Collins,I changed over sounded like he was talking into a empty tube of Pringles

Corholio

That was a weird one, it didnt look like it had completely crossed from the replays but from goal line technology it had just about. Not saying it hadnt gone in, just that its only a computer graphic we see.

I think it would be interesting to compare a real life camera in the crossbar to the graphic in incidents like that.

Paco Rodriguez

It looks to me like the tech is calibrated to the front of the white line and not the back.
Because in the real camera view it looks like 3/4 of the ball passed the line. But all the ball needs to cross.

Reminds me of the GAA problem when the calibration was done with a football not a sliotar.

Da Shins Kelly

Honduras are the craic, I tell ya. They'd fit in in Semple Stadium with that tackling.

It should be shown because it shows its not Benzemas goal, then the 2nd one shows its an og. They've been showing replays of everything that's near the line in all matches.

bad2dabone

Hilarious commentary, I was cringing badly for the commentator, hoping Martin keown would pass him a note saying please stop embarrassing yourself

It clearly went over the line the GLT isnt faulty.

Washington Irving

Benzema really should have done better there

Valbuena cost me 5.5m on fantasy football, what a bargain.
