Whitey Grandad

That's a lot for one game! Didn't he used to wear Man Utd socks?

I know some referees who think that way. The player had to make some attempt to get over the tackle, it's not enough just to see a leg and then pretend to fall over it. As Stan Collymore said, the player has to be prevented from doing what they intended to do. The worst case I ever had of players trying the 'sneaky stuff' involved ex-professionals, which was rather disappointing. It's supposed to be a sport, not a con-trick.

But could you at least determine the direction it came from?

Far too complicated for that. For the goal decision there are several cameras and the goal frame is in a fixed location. For offside you've got several players moving about. Then you've got to decide 'gaining an advantage' and all that stuff.

Don't they still owe Liverpool for Crouch?

That'll help

That won't be easy. I understand that the power is not that great and so the range is quite limited. HMS Tireless has the necessary equipment which presumably is why she's there.

But is it a pure ping or is it modulated in any way so as to give more information?

Yes, I agree.

I've also witnessed a lot of drivel poured over some video replays and slow-motion will never give a true impression of what actually occurred.

It's ultrasonic so it has to be converted to audio frequencies if they're using headphones. The submarines have the most sophisticated equipment but it would need programming to search for the FDR signature. I don't know how complex this us, whether it's just a short burst or more complicated than that.

Perhaps he pretends to support every club in the country and posts on all 92 forums. Has anybody checked?

Start your own?

For offside the official is in the best possible position, far better than any television camera and especially for marginal ones. It's not difficult to get the decision correct, which is what makes yesterday's fiasco all the more remarkable.

What about when a red card is not given when it should have been?

Is this the worst season ever?

Precisely. All you are saying with a video referral is: 'We don't like this ref, let's try another one'.

Quite true but I would rather live in the future than the past.

No, television has too much influence already.

He also speaks Italian, it would appear

That, I fear, is the long and the short of it.

Well done. I know what it's like when you've got a problem and can't get online.

It was an unbelievable awful decision, the sort of situation that everybody on the pitch can see clearly. Sunday morning referees who are used to having to manage without a linesman could see that one with their eyes closed. Yes, we all deserve an explanation and a clear apology. Personally I demand a replay, preferably with us awarded a 2 goal start

We're also near the bottom of the 'number of different players used' table.
