These horns will never stop will they.

beep beep beepbeepbep

 

[jonno394]

BBC commentater still saying the second goal was controversial.

What a fuckwit

Jonathan Champion is a well known half wit.

edit- wrong commentator - Jonathan Pearce

 

[Juicy Bob]

Feels so good to know that we finally have goal line tech at the World Cup level and that it actually works.

Football is saved! Praise be!

 

[Gentle Rodriguez]

i fear as if this Honduras team will just make "CONCACAF lol" a thing again even if USA, Costa Rica and Mexico qualify to the next round

We say "lol CONCACAF" because up until now there's only been 2 teams worth a damn and a bunch of C-tier and lower teams. If Costa Rica can keep up their performance that'll inevitably change.

 

[Arksy]

Impossible to do it for offsides. Goal lines have fixed positions.

There's a million cameras around the stadium, you see the commentators reviewing it all the time for offside with precision.......

 

[Boogie9IGN]

lol pathetic flop

 

[Johnny Cage In The Shower]

It's officially a own goal by the GK.

True, because the ball did not cross the goal line until after it made contact with the goalie.

 

[HardRojo]

He had to, he has a gadget who rumbles when line tech says it's a goal

Ah, was not aware of that. Good to know

 

[The One Who Knocks]

I assume it's automatic and the system flagged it up because it was close to the line. That does need sorting out, though, even if they just remove the 'no goal' message from incidents that ultimately result in a goal.

That would make sense given how it had been showing up in the earlier games (on the television at least, maybe it's been ongoing in the stadiums) for blatantly obvious goals. Either way though, at least it allowed the right call to be made in the end regardless of some of the kinks in the system which presumably will be removed with time.

 

[pickle tooth]

Honest question. I thought spain was a powerhouse, was it an upset that the neth's beat them?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

One of the Hondurus players plays for the Chinese league second division?

 

[CrunchyB]

My man!

He's the biggest cunt ever. Especially after dissing Ruud Gullit.

Yeah, that was infuriating. I'm not even a big Gullit fan, his track record as a coach is poor as hell, but he's still Ruud f-ing Gullit.

Arno Vermeulen is an incompetent blowhard who somehow managed to become chief football commentator of the NOS.

Which is why I'd rather watch MotD. So much better, it's not even funny.

 

[feel]

What would have happened if the referee had not conceded that goal?

The system sends a GOAL message instantly to the referee's watch.

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Honest question. I thought spain was a powerhouse, was it an upset that the neth's beat them?

I dont want to talk about it ):

 

[Wind's Howling]

I am glad we Dutch do not have to go against Honduras. The way these assholes tackle would have been damaging for Robben and Van Persie.

 

[Skellig Gra]

It's clear

You can't see the line or the front half of the ball in that shot.

 

[The perfect Dark]

edit: nvm

 

[Kandinsky]

What would have happened if the referee had not conceded that goal?

This is what im wondering, the tech is for tv only right?, ref dont give a fuck, correct?

 

[Kurt Angle]

fuck goal line tech

gif some girls from the crowd pls. this game sucks

 

[D4Danger]

"There will be much debate over the second goal"

No there won't. That's the point.

 

[clemenx]

I'm not sure why they showed the "No goal" first lol. Just wanting to show off.

 

[Blablurn]

soooooo close

 

[Maintenance]

FUCK! I screamed goal here at my house.

 

[Portugeezer]

Lol @ BBC commentator trying to make controversy about a clear goal... nope, this is not a case of human error, no controversy here.

 

[mellz]

lol I thought it was in

 

[Konosuke]

Okay the controversy is that the GLT is hooked up to the screen in the stadium that's used to to display text to the fans.

The text "NO GOAL" showed in response to the first hit.

Then the text "GOAL" showed.


There's no video accompanying this on the screen, so the context is lost.

That's stupid, they should show what was shown on TV. No wonder they were ranting.

 

[Aiii]

Jesus Arno Vermeulen is such an idiot.

Fuck this dude, he's really doing my head in.

Yep, how can you be so shit at the ONE JOB you have?

 

[Juz]

Almost 3-0

 

[cripterion]

So many missed opportunities

 

[Foshy]

oh shit that looked like it went in for a moment

 

[Juicy Bob]

Jonathan Pearce needs subbing ASAP.

 

[Arksy]

.......3-0 according to the BBC...

 

[SkylineRKR]

No drop in image quality is worse than sticking with the witte Chinees. Switching over myself right now.

Did the same. Its like going to the Ps3 version of Bayonetta, but its much better than having to endure Arno.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Lol BBC: ITS 3 NIL!

 

[Fergie]

Pearce is high.

 

[StriKeVillain]

Most convincing non goal I've seen.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Jonathan Pearce is broken

 

[Courage]

.......3-0 according to the BBC...

ahahahahahah

 

[Krakle]

Thought that was in and wondered why they didn't celebrate.

 

[Jal]

hahaaa, go home jonathon you're drunk.

 

[jayj306]

Seems to me that the commentators saw the first 'No Goal' graphic, took their eyes off the TV to look at the players reaction - Pearce said the Hondurans were going ape shit - and missed the following 'Goal' graphic. Did they only show the CG graphic once?

What the fuck is wrong with these nets, the ball hits the side netting and comes back.

 

[Phoenician_Viking]

Wait and see approach I believe.

Impossible to do it for offsides. Goal lines have fixed positions.

Might not be so easy. For the goal you only need a cam in a fixed angle at the posts. Off side can be at any position on the field. So you would need camera's every where, or better, camera's in the top tracking individual players and software to use it correctly.

Thanks guys.

 

[HardRojo]

This is what im wondering, the tech is for tv only right?, ref dont give a fuck, correct?

Apparently the ref receives feedback from the goal-line technology so he had to concede.

 

[Zoned]

BBC is shit.

 

[Toxi]

Goal line tech is the most exciting thing that's happened this game.

 

[Heebie Jeebies]

Pearce is done, not even Motson was this bad.

 

[D4Danger]

Jonathan Pearce needs subbing ASAP.

He's having a breakdown. He was celebrating a third goal there for some reason.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

BBC commentator is an absolute nutter, is he actually there or just watching on an old black and white CRT?

 

[Lasthope106]

Honest question. I thought spain was a powerhouse, was it an upset that the neth's beat them?

It was. But it was more shocking at how they were beaten.

Here is how one of my friends on facebook put it

What the Netherlands just did to Spain is an old fashioned, you done stole somethin, big mamma style, pre child rights era, gettin in that ass, leave you lookin like impressionist art, type of ass whoopin!

 

[Mr.Pig]

The Danish commentators are idiots too. It is so obvious from the goal cam tech what's going on, and it's obvious that it was a goal from the ordinary replay too.
