France v Honduras (Group E) Sunday 15th June 2014

[Badgers]

Best goal line technology of the tournament

 

[strung out]

Jonathan Pearce really is a clueless fucking bellend.

 

[Sunray]

Thats crazy! The system in the PL works just fine.

I think it was just being German thorough, adjudicating on anything that went near the goal. People aren't use it, caused confusion.

 

[Lo Siento.]

Jonathan Pearce confused by goal line tech checking more than one thing at a time...

 

[Lord Camomile]

The "Arsenal didn't like physical teams, did you Thierry" ... "We managed" before the game too

I almost felt sorry for Savage. "Hey superstar, we did alright when we played you, didn't we? VALIDATE ME!!" "Of course, little boy, of course..."

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Technology shows it's a goal, and it is a goal. Why are they saying it's complex? It bounced off the bar and over the line. Fuck me - if that is enough to fox football commentators, it's a wonder they can feed themselves.

I know I really don't understand why there's been such a big deal over it? It hit the post and was on the line - technology showed that. Second one went over the line - technology showed that. 2-0 France restart the match again.

 

[littlebabyjesus]

Fuck's sake commentator. It's an own goal!

 

[Balbi]

I almost felt sorry for Savage. "Hey superstar, we did alright when we played you, didn't we? VALIDATE ME!!" "Of course, little boy, of course..."

Seedorf to Henry, "How many yellow cards was it?" Savage should have arm bands.

 

[Corax]

What the fuck does Jonathan Pearce not understand about what happened?

It said no goal off the post, then goal over the line.

Simple enough, but seems to have confused him lol.

He then tried to back track by waffling about how the confused message could cause violence in the stadium

 

[Lord Camomile]

I think it was just being German thorough, adjudicating on anything that went near the goal. People aren't use it, caused confusion.

Exactly, has to be consistent and there were two instances where it could have gone over the line so it checked both. If it ever goes over the line, it's a goal.

"Dear Mr. Jonathan so-called Pearce,

Please learn the rules of football before commentating on any further matches.

Cheers,

The rest of the world"

Talking of prize bellends

From Richard Keys @richardajkeys: That wasn’t in. At any time. Told you this technology wasn’t fool proof.

 

[ska invita]

honduras have a player called Boniek, which is also the name of the Polish football legend. Turns out its his middle name and his parents chose the name directly after the Polish player. HIs real name is Oscar Boniek Garcia but he's decided to have Boniek on his shirt

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Richard Keys

 

[Sunray]

The Honduran supporters were also pretty unhappy.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Cricking hell, there's still half an hour to go! Could still get interesting...

 

[Epico]

His heyday was robot wars.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

For goodness sake he's still going on about it. 'Second goal was controversial' no it wasn't, you can see it was over the line without technology and the technology shows it was.

 

[Lo Siento.]

The Honduran supporters were also pretty unhappy.

not sure they'd have been any happier if the ball had just flown in the top corned and into the back of the net

 

[ska invita]

will someone put jonathan pearce out of my misery?

it was nice to hear him complain about the cost of the stadiums and pointing out it would have paid for the brazillian welfare bill twice over, adding that 'clearly something is not right'. I like JP.

But yeah the whole 2nd goal thing couldnt be more obvious

 

[Epico]

Wonderful.

3-0.

No, Jonathan...

 

[ska invita]

i thought the sterling goal yesterday was a goal too

Going by what, the tv pictures? I wonder how many frames a second that camera had? Ball may have gone a bit further to get just over the line between frames.

 

[JimW]

Where's the side-net technology?

 

[Lo Siento.]

It's not getting any better for Jonathan

The whole pub I was at thought it was in. I was even admiring the cool celebration.

[Balbi]

Jonathan Pearce doing his best to make ITV look par.

 

[Doctor Carrot]

Did you call him a creepy, sexist bellend with werewolf hands?
