Anyone who's against video replays is deluded. ITV were able to show that it wasn't goal and had enough time for a few slow mo reactions as well as showing the celebrations before the game had restarted. Slow down the game my arse.

 

[Wilbur]

Doesn't look like it even goes near to the line to me.

Go fuck yourselves Chelsea/FA.

FA, not Chelsea's fault.

This. It's a fucking farce.

Eh they appealed for it.

Yup. Fucking terrible. FIFA are clueless.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Trial runs after the Euros so hopefully there's enough clamour for it.

 

[Arnie]

Torn now. One hand I want Spurs to win so that those nob head fans get nowhere near a final and on the other hand I want Chelsea to win because they have just done our team talk for us.

They have to come to Anfield in a few weeks as well. Have a feeling there's going to be a bit of trouble.

Like you say the team talk is done for us, we've got a good record against them and we've already played in a Wembley final so hopefully that removes some of the tension. Think we'd have a better chance against Chelsea than Spurs, and it looks odds on thanks to that ridiculous goal.

How goal line technology isn't implemented in the worlds biggest sport in 2012 is beyond me.

 

[offshore]

Nice.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Yes! Come on!

 

[bjaelke]

1-1!

 

[LegoArmo]

Spurs should have got the penalty and a red for Cech, too honest.

 

[Broder Salsa]

None of the refs could do anything but guess there, really. So many bodies in the way. It's goal line tech or stuff like that will keep happening.

Edit : Cech lucky that Spurs scored there, lol


Edit edit : Luiz noooooooooo

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Go fuck yourselves Chelsea/FA.

What did Chelsea do wrong?

Cech is lucky there

 

[Willkiller]

BALE!

Game on!

 

[Kyoufu]

Chelsea are just so unlikeable. Even if that wasn't completely their fault.

COME ON SPURS!

 

[Fintan]

This. It's a fucking farce.

Eh they appealed for it.

They may have genuinely thought it was over the line.

 

[Tambini]

2-1

 

[The Friendly Monster]

Keeper could go...

 

[Verano]

Yup. Fucking terrible. FIFA are clueless.

so far EPL refs has been much more shit than La Liga refs.

anyways, a replay match should be given to make up for that BS goal.

 

[immy]

So why hasn't cech been sent off anyway?

 

[Wilbur]

This. It's a fucking farce.

Eh they appealed for it.

They're always going to try and gain an advantage though; it's like Young going down earlier and United appealing for it. It's not their fault I suppose.

 

[DominoKid]

y'know cech really should be off.

 

[IceCold]

i dont see why they cant have something like hockey for goalline technology. or just review the damn play.

I thought FIFA used goal line technology during the WC.

Regardless FIFA, UEFA, and most football bodies need to be to fire these old guys that hold all the power and replace them with fresh, young people instead. These guys are not interesting in improving the sport, but only in increasing the flow of money that goes to their bank accounts.

 

[offshore]

Even though it's a goal, surely Cech should be off.

 

[Nevasleep]

So why can't he give a red card anyway?

 

[panty]

David Luiz is a pussy.

 

[Arsenal2022]

They've got it spot on with that issue over advantage there: take Cech off and have a pen, or take the advantage and have the goal.

 

[Kyoufu]

Send Cech off.

 

[madmackem]

So in the real world its 1-1

 

[Broder Salsa]

David Luiz is a pussy.

Not sure if serious or just stupid.

 

[Fur_Q]

Game on

 

[LegoArmo]

So why hasn't cech been sent off anyway?

I don't understand the rule, usually when you play advantage you still go back and book the player, but not for penalty decisions, I guess.

 

[Gareth Bale]

Terry holding his hand up for the penalty...

Why doesn't the ref come back and book Cech for the foul on Ade? It's still a foul.

 

[The Friendly Monster]

What the fuck is Terry appealing for there? Prick.

 

[panty]

Not sure if serious or just stupid.

HEY! Hey.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

Cech would be off if Bale wasn't there but is right not to be, they scored thus he didn't prevent a goal scoring opportunity

 

[Joel Was Right]

Thing about video replays is if we had it now for solely the goal-line, calls would eventually come to allow it for decisions all over the pitch from red card decisions to yellow card decisions. Teams would begin to contest decisions just to slow the game down. How do you manage that?

 

[Brinbe]

Gonna lmao if this scoreline stands

 

[RaGe_pt]

Cech should have been sent off there.

 

[SunhiLegend]

Gareth Bale!

 

[The Friendly Monster]

I don't understand the rule, usually when you play advantage you still go back and book the player, but not for penalty decisions, I guess.

It's because the red is for denying a clear goalscoring opportunity, which didn't happen. It's a weird one though.

 

[Fintan]

How does this work? They get the goal from the advantage and Cech doesn't get sent off because it was a guaranteed goal, whereas sending him off and giving the penalty would not be guaranteed? Or does he get sent off anyway?

That's assuming a red would've been given.

 

[immy]

I don't understand the rule, usually when you play advantage you still go back and book the player, but not for penalty decisions, I guess.

Yeah, my thinking was the same as your.

 

[Kyoufu]

Come on Spurs. Don't let this shitty ref screw you out of this game.

Well the calls for just goal-line had been ignored for so long what will stop them just ignoring the calls for cards etc.

Slippery slope fallacy.

 

[LegoArmo]

Makes sense, so if it was a particularly bad tackle (two footed), he could still be sent off and the goal given?

That's fair enough.

 

[Wilbur]

I don't understand the rule, usually when you play advantage you still go back and book the player, but not for penalty decisions, I guess.

I remember in the 2006 WC Kuffour absolutely wiping out Iaquinta, like 100% red card, but it was offside so it wasn't called.

 

[Stubo]

Non-goal given, not even a yellow for Cech. This sport really is a shambles at times, someone needs to explain how this is allowed to go on.

 

[Oxx]

Messi vs Cahill shall be fun.

Managers can make a certain amount of calls. Doesn't slow down tennis.
