For some reason we are now looking at the London eye ???

FCBurnley · Post by **FCBurnley** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:32 pm

Back on now. Think I preferred the eye !

Jack Grealish’s lockdown haircut is a real stinker.

It was pretty **** before lockdown

I bet taking a knee on kick off triggered a few.

Must admit I opened this thread expecting it to be all about the players taking the knee at the start of the game!

Just imagine if it was the 70's, they'd all come back looking like Chewbacca.

Ha! that was a clear goal

did Oliver forget to turn his watch on ?

Grounds for uncertainty the commentator says

What a joke.

No batteries in the watch.

This is s joke

Why isn't VAR being used for that?

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:47 pm

That's well over the line, surely?

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:47 pm

Ball was definitely over the line, so much for technology. Ref obviously forgot to pick up the wife's vibrator when he packed his match bag

ClaretMov · Post by **ClaretMov** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:47 pm

Ball well over the line yet no goal given

MrTopTier · Post by **MrTopTier** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:47 pm

Is VAR not in play? That looked like a goal.

PremierLeagueClass · Post by **PremierLeagueClass** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:47 pm

Technology fails in the first game back... mile over the line. How has VAR not intervened there.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:47 pm

42 minutes in and I'm fed up of it already lol

The Hung Juror · Post by **The Hung Juror** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:47 pm

For all the world that looked in. Have they forgot to turn on the technology?

Hibsclaret · Post by **Hibsclaret** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:48 pm

Great that we now have goal line technology not working to add to the VAR farce

Jeffbfc · Post by **Jeffbfc** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:49 pm

Forgot to put new battries in the watch.
Unbelievable.
But this as been shite

RalphCoatesComb · Post by **RalphCoatesComb** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:49 pm

Just as well there's no crowd, there'd be a pitch invasion after that balls up !

Good shout...but ge has already been booked.
Better tenner would be a sending off!

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:49 pm

I wonder whether the sensor on the bar or posts hasn’t been turned on? Otherwise they would show the goal line tech graphic.

Dyched · Post by **Dyched** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:49 pm

VARs had enough grief without getting involved with goal line technologies **** up

icu81b4 · Post by **icu81b4** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:49 pm

Yep deffo a goal for me, tech fails .... Not switched on?

Bfcboyo · Post by **Bfcboyo** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:50 pm

The ball was sat on the back of the post ffs what a farcical start to the 1st match

Highlights

Players kneel down

Player spits

Technology crap

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:50 pm

Electrician says it was either crowd noise or goal sensors but not both!
They chose crowd noise but didn't let on!

Goal!!!!!

CombatClaret · Post by **CombatClaret** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:51 pm

Clearly some kind of blind spot regarding the post/behind the post.

And VAR can't step in and overrule a system that already exists for that specific reason. Can only be looked at after this game.

bfcmik · Post by **bfcmik** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:52 pm

Question mark about whether the WHOLE of the ball had crossed the WHOLE of the line. The majority was certainly behind the post but was ALL of it?

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:52 pm

The fact that they didn’t show the graphic that is automatically generated on goal line incidents tells me that the technology has either failed completely or isn’t switched on.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:52 pm

Just imagine if Villa stay up by a point now....

Jimmymaccer · Post by **Jimmymaccer** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:52 pm

That’s interesting they didn’t show the usual goal line image “no goal” and graphic......

Someone’s in for it!

Firthy · Post by **Firthy** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:52 pm

And this is what we've been desperate for for the last few months according to the media. Think I'll ask Sky for a refund under the trades descriptions act

I thought the match was alright tbh. It’s a match that doesn’t really matter (I know we can finish higher and want Utd to lose) but realistically it won’t make a huge difference. It’s a 6pm Wednesday game in June. We used to international tournaments, crowds, big games this time of year. It’s a flat with no real fans there. But the actual football was okay tbh.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:55 pm

I’m not saying there’s definitely a link between the two but goal line technology was flawless before Dominic Cummings took a trip to Barnard Castle.

The keeper had the ball in his hands, clutched to his chest, with his arm leaning on the rear side of the post. It surely couldn’t have been anything other than over the line.

Vegas Claret · Post by **Vegas Claret** » Wed Jun 17, 2020 6:56 pm

clearly over the line by at least 2 inches

Doesn’t really matter in what sense?

Villa are fighting relegation and Sheff United could get into Europe.

Apparently because it is the same passage of play when the keeper rolls the ball out, after the incident. It can go to VAR and it could over rule GLT but they didn’t bother with that either.

We've waited 3 months for this and it's taken them 40 minutes to balls it up !!!!

You couldn't make it up.

Sorry - see what you mean now

To be fair, I suspect that this will have pretty big viewing figures, it being the first game back. Perhaps far more interest in the game than there usually might have been, outside of the fans of each team.
