World Cup

Another WC farce with GL technology. Still not convinced that second one was over the line. First one definitely not and the side on of the ball coming off the keeper clearly didn't show the ball going beyond the post so fail to see how all of the ball can be over all of the line. Me suspects tweaking of the technology upstairs somewhere.

I take opposite view. Tech worked perfectly as ref gave the goal very quickly. Replays just backed up when and where the ball crossed the line.

They could do with only showing where it crossed. Flashing up "No Goal" and then "Goal" just confuses things. But I agree, the technology was bought in to remove the doubt, if you are going to use it, you have to trust it. I do however agree with homer, it didn't look to be completely over the line

But the replay doesn't back it up. The angle from the left hand side of the goal is pretty clear and I still can't see the ball going past the post and therefore all of the ball being over the line. I remain unconvinced despite what technology said

Haven't seen a replay close enough to remove any doubt but as you say - have to trust the technology

Just watched it back on Sky+. Looks clear to me that the tech is spot on and that Jonathan Pearce got his knickers in an unnecessary twist!

And there in is the rub. I don't trust anything FIFA do anymore. I remain unconvinced it was a goal and will be interested to see the analysis after the game

It's the same technology that has been used in the prem

If it's proved to have failed then there will be massive reactions

The angle shown so far look like it is just over the line but that's not a straight on angle

The replays don't have to back up the tech - it's not obvious from the replay, that's for sure, but that's why the tech is there.
It will have been tested to the limits to make sure it works.
When the ball hit the post it triggered the GLT, hence the first "no goal".
When the ball touched the line again the GLT triggered again and we got the " goal".
Every time the ball breaks the beam the GLT will fire up.
If the ball hits both posts then the bar then comes back off the keeper onto the line you'll get 4 GLT's...

Its not the same as in prem. Prem uses hawk eye, FIFA have adopted a German company that do it differently.

Than won't help Phil, as Fulham had a couple of goals disallowed that looked from the replays to be further in than the one France just had allowed. I suspect that's where Homer's scepticism comes from.

I guess it comes down to how much people want to trust the technology

If there is going to be any doubts then I don't think it will stay

After seeing it in action then I'm going to trust it

Same technology just a different company

The display of it seems better from hawkeye. Have seen hawkeye replays where cross bar is removed clearly showing line, this one doesn't seem to offer that, therefor leaves some doubt.

Seems to to be clear enough on bbc, just immediate response seems slower.

It maybe a better company etc but the same method technology is the one that I believe won the right with FIFA

It certainly needs fine tuning for a viewer to see but as long as the right call is made to the ref
