Its simple really, I object to sky changing what actually happens on the pitch during a game, they've changed every fuckin thing else. Surely commercialism should be kept away from how a simple game has been played for over 100 years? Its the thin end of the wedge this like, this is the line in the sand for those fuckers. Dont care about cricket, tennis or any other minority sport they now own. How the game is played on the pitch should be controlled by the officials and how they interpret the laws of the game, not by a commercial operation with their eye on their subscribers and shareholders. I know am largely alone in this,and I know that to some I sound like a luddite. I don't care and obviously you're all entitled to your own opionions on it, but once they get their claws into what happens during the game it won't end there. As I said, at that point FIFA may as well give up having anything to do with the laws of the game and hand control over to a TV company.

No, disagree. However unlikely things seem, they could happen. And if sky do get hawkeye used for this (and I've no reason to hope or beleive that they wont get it driven through) then FIFA might as well finally fuckin pack up and go home. Sky have changed days,dates,timings,finance,audience make up, admission prices, even how long half time is etc etc but they havent been able to change much of what happens during play in a game. This would just put the tin hat on it.

It also says that youve got to be able to see 25% of the ball which, if theres bodies actually on the line, may make it as good a yesterdays video. The second system seems top be the one...but sky (who are driving this, for all the wrong reasons) wont be happy with that...

What a cock end...as a member of a team, Hamilton is fuckin poison, regardless of how good a driver he is.

It might not in football...see the link...

Yeah but anything couldve happened in that period!...red cards, penalty awards....what do you do about them?..

heres the spiel on the two systems...cant see sky being happy with the second one which works better....and all this has come from them.... http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/world-of-sport/goal-line-technology-does-164718522.html

They have actually trialled some stuff havent they?......cant see it being hawkeye, you're changing one of the fundamentals of the game if you stop play for every goaline decision iyam.

if its a beam across the goal, how do you stop players from triggering it?...video has proved inconclusive, but the alternative looks like it could have problems. I take it the best way is a hawkeye systtem which involves stopping play, which just will not work in football becuase if its not a goal, play goes on...

You cant really compare the other night with today because manu are plainly a far better side than Bordeaux. We were allowed to look good the other night, they didnt try to shut down Ferguson. Look what happened when they brought Valencia on, he was nullified. They dulled Ben Arfa by double teaming him too. We let in two poxy goals from corners, thats more of a concern.

you talking to me Captain Mainwaring?

Why?........at least Gene is interesting whether you agree with him or not, or even if you think he's a bullshitter. What do do reckon? offer an opinion Andy...I fuckin dare you!

What about Cabaye CT?...is Jonas to blame for him being a shadow of the player he was last season?...nowt to do with his head being turned by Spurs then?...

What was he like Gene?....you're not exactly kindred spirits politics wise I wouldnt have thought.....

I was just thinking that You could, on the odd occasion, have a reasonable chat with Leazes about NUFC..... even that seems to be beyond poor old Rocky....

He said the other night that people dont act online as they do in real life......so he's actually choosing to be an odious wanker folks, just in case theres anyone unsure about that side of his err "personality".....

Rocky, dont be a twat all your life mate, have a night off Hows the missus and bairns?....have you found them yet or is the court order still doing its job?

You fuckin tell him kid!

fuckin hell another corner...

Aye, he's scaring the shit out of them. We're well in this game, pity we cant defend a fuckin corner... there wont be 11 on each side at the end by the looks of it..

You appear to be very easily offended. Hardly the stuff a commisioned officer in the British Army is made of....if you've been within a 100 miles of Sandhurst then I'll expect to see the Pope on an Orange Walk in Belfast next year

So theres a cut off point in football history where all acheivements become irrelevent because Arsene Wenger wouldnt let Tony Adams eat a marsbar at half time? righty-o

Yeah....that renowned wit and racconteur Neil Ruddock says he's fuckin hilarious.....
