Davkaus Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Why was lineker being a clearing in the woods about the goal line technology? I think it's just a case of them covering for each other and trying to prevent Pearce from looking like as much of a fool as he should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfisher Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 I wonder how much that keeper got paid to push that ball over the line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Why was lineker being a clearing in the woods about the goal line technology? Because he's a clearing in the woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Apart from the GBH, the best thing about the game was the fact that those who were supposed to know about the goal-line technology, having no idea, and Savage being completely blanked and humiliated by Thierry Henry in the studio. That was brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Why is Robbie Savage on my TV anyway? Back to the football, France look really good. They handled the kicking well and will no doubt be all the more dangerous now they've got off to a winning start, in style. They don't look fragile at all like usual. Dark horses?

I don't think "Dark Horse" can apply to France. I do think they could win it though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 hard to call, they didn't get tested much by Honduras and Sakho still looked dodgy in rare moments Honduras got forward. They didn't look clinical enough either until against 10 men, Be easier to judge after they play Switzerland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2014 (edited) They're still struggling Suarez said: "The machine first said no [goal]. I do not know what to think." "If the technology sends a clear message, then I don't understand how the system can say it's a goal first and then: 'No goal.' What is the truth?''

Rovers13 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 To be fair in the full quote, he said he had no issue with the decision, just the way the machine delivered it, and he was explaining why he was mad on the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 They really shouldn't have bothered showing the first part off the post, it was always going to confuse some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2014 I think they had reason to show the first bit to show it wasn't Benzema's goal. Plus I'm sure it's all set to do it automatically when the ball gets close to the line. But it does raise a question of how best to deliver it. The ref obviously gets a signal, maybe someone should review the footage before it's played to the whole stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was brutal. I was travelling back from London to Birmingham during that France game, so I missed that. I hope someone has a clip of this contre temps between Savage and Henry.

Stevo985 Posted June 16, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted June 16, 2014 To be fair, the part where they were talking about if Pogba should have been sent off, Savage was right. He should have been. It was just funny how Henry responded I also liked Lineker's comment on saturday "Have you ever gotten away with a handball, Thierry?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 The Japanese referee who made a mess of the opening game is refereeing the Honduras v Ecuador game. How many red cards?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 That's amazing that they're letting him ref again at the World Cup. Usually FIFA is pretty strict at tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 just read that he reffed the 2010 quarter final when Holland brutalized Brazil and he let them away with it and sent off a Brazil player. Maybe he was just making it even Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
