ECHO Comment: "Fears of Witch-hunt Against Liverpool FC" part 3

[davek]

The PL always wants to leave room to fix the outcome of games. Do people really believe that the richest game in the world is left entirely to chance? The same company that runs the primary tv company covering the product (and paying the players wages) also happens to run a bookmakers that profits on the outcome of these games.

Last day title races, last day relegation scraps, all these controversial decisions captured on ‘super Sunday’ live tv. They don’t just happen by sheer chance, it’s all orchestrated for viewing figures, advertisement money, betting profits, and social media interactions.

Spot on yeah.

It's all about the spectacle.

Give me a well officiated 'boring' league any day.

Excellent news. Let's get on the blower and tell PGMOL which refs we will allow at our games.

For starters we'll have...erm...hang on...give us a minute... there's got to be one...

Don't you remember we didn't have Clattenburg for 5 years after, he did our game, against those lot. Which to me was an acknowledgement that, Clattenburg was corrupt.

Think it was seven years,Villa away we saw the rat again!!!

 

[arch stanton]

Yes. Very visibly.

no mate, look in the history books and it will say no goal, he was offside

 

[davek]

Every now and again remind yourself:

an offside decision that didn't go their way v barbarity abroad that led to mass fatalities

 

[arch stanton]

I too have been in the school of thought of arbitrary choosing of point-of-contact - and I'm almost sure they still guess the frame to choose since you sometimes see them flicking back and forth. In addition, they are heavily limited by camera frame rate, which I'm guessing is capped is capped at no more than 60Hz. This means ~ 0.02s is between every frame. That's a long time when considering two bodies can be moving in opposite directions at 8m/s each - 30cm in fact can open up in that time (and that's discounting possible leg extensions being pulled in at a much quicker speed)

Until they get 240Hz cameras & monitors as standard, I think the onfield decision should stand (unless a clear mistake has been made, i.e behind the half way line, not the actual last defender)

25fps for uk footage so 0.04s per frame. We are also assuming each frame is equidistant from its neighbours and that it isnt adversely affected if it is a predictive or bi-predictive frame

Cheers mate, I thought the goal counted

 

[arch stanton]

It’s 50fps according to the PL

 

[Pilks]

They genuinely don't realise that nobody else even remotely cares any more. The rest of the football supporting world has moved on, while 'Old man yells at cloud'...

That old man is Aldridge and he's yelling at the pigeons, not the clouds.

Tbf Mark Clattenburg didn't ref an Everton game from the Clattenburg derby to Aston villa in 2012 and at Goodison until a year after that

 

[helpimonfire]

I think they are correct and things must change to ensure that these stupid decisions are no longer allowed to happen

 

[Neiler]

You know they are getting soft decisions for the rest of the season dont you, when we playing them again..........

 

[Piijt]

In another week when they haven’t been out of the news, St Gilloise, a team 99% of them had never heard of, were deemed such a threat they lasered their keeper.
Curiously I haven’t heard any outrage about it in the media…
