...but maybe we'd have been awarded a goal the other week, when the goal-line tech graphic 'proved' to us that the whole of the ball hadn't crossed the whole of the line - BY ABOUT A MILLIMETRE. Sonny, wasn't it?

Swings & roundabouts, mate. swings & roundabouts.


Would England have won the World Cup in 1966, if the tech had been available? Possibly not.

And to think, in Premiership games, we'll never again be able to laugh at images like the one you've just posted - it almost breaks my heart.

PLUS- how many times are we going to have to sit and wait for the game to start/restart and suddenly realise we can't carry on because one of the official's bloody batteries has run out!!!

Put the humans back in charge and I'll take the errors on the chin - they're part of the game.

I'm glad that they've scrapped the replays.
 
Yet another disgusting move so the millionaires don’t have a fixture pile up with the champions league schedule.

So basically Fuck the lower league clubs who benefit financially from replays against bigger clubs.

An extra 33 million for grass roots football? All well and good for tier 9 and below but the gap between the top flight and the leagues grows ever wider.

I can't understand this. The teams involved in the 1st and 2nd rounds don't play in Europe, so why scrap replays for these rounds?
 
Does anyone think the league Cup will be a thing beyond 2030. I asume there will be at least two more European Competitions by then and ever tem in the Premier League will compete in some kind of competition.

I wouldn’t be surprised even though it robs some clubs of the chance to win silverware.
