Offside and trying to beat the defence and lines man is part of the game, the ball going over the line only for refs and lines men not to see it and players from both team to see it and protest is something different entirely. It's an exact figure when the ball crosses the line, a player in play when passed the ball in an offside position is not, they might not even score in their chance but a ball going over the line is a goal.

The key to all this though is that 5th official that was put there for this exact reason. The one chance they had to show they are there for a reason and they fail.

Are you saying we should have all or none?

mmm,good answer
i kind of agree with the ball over the line but it seems a bit silly if in the same move everyone can see its offside while for example they use tv replays to see if the ball is over the line,

for ball line technology they want a chip or laser on the line,why don't they just use a tv/camera replay make a decision and tell the ref,in truth the game has gone beyond the human eye/reaction of a ref but no one wants to say it for some reason,refs and linesman can only really guess in a split second over a foul or offside they don't really know,if they are right the pundits say amazing if they are wrong ,oh well,in the end you cannot really stop technology breaking through its only a matter of time 

footy back tonight,i fancy portugal for the result

Hawkeye uses neither. It's a camera like all other sports that use hawkeye. It's even used with precision in tennis and other sports, so it's not like the technology doesn't exist. It's based on a simple fact, is the ball completely over then line, 'yes' or 'no'. It sends a signal to the referee who makes a decision based on it. It would only really be used in crucial decisions where people are unsure. Stopping the entire game for someone to look at a replay just seems a bit much.

My thoughts 1:1 goes to penalties. Czech are a good side and have put up a good fight.



Hmm, pie.

If I need to make up the numbers in my Fantasy Football team next season, I'll put Lallana in ;)

2 people down (housemate is a big fan of him now because of me), rest of the nation to go.


Sounds the sound of it, if he keeps performing in the Premier League, not only will the rest of the nation have been 'converted' but theyll be calls for him to go in the England squad. Worked in a similar way for Charlie Adam.

Back to the Euros, and I feel the bias of the English media is finally starting to show. Seen very few articles that talk about the real level of threat that Italy will present.

Although i previously established with you that I really don't like Portugal, I doubt that you have much to worry about. Portugal are generally better than all of the Group A teams. I said to a few people that all four Group A should have been kicked out and the best 3rd-placed teams from the other groups should have gone through instead.

Both the Czech and Greece are likely to get rolled over with causing their opponents too many problems.

I think Greece will pose a bigger problem to Germany than most people think. It's not going to be just another football match, much pride will be in the mix as well.

True, but I feel Germany are just too good to go down to Greece the way teams like Portugal, France and the Czech Republic did in 2004. If it ended up being an England-Greece semi-final I think that could be both an interesting and odd match, as England would probably play Greece at their own game.

Weather is so bad here that I don't get a TV signal....
Of course the TV was working just fine until the players went out on the pitch...
