doubleonothing Posted 2 April, 2013 Author Share Posted 2 April, 2013 Wasn't aware of that. Thought they were one of the two. At least it's getting introduced though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bad Bob Posted 2 April, 2013 Share Posted 2 April, 2013 Shame the vid doesn't show a ball just on the line and just over it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 2 April, 2013 Share Posted 2 April, 2013 Shame the vid doesn't show a ball just on the line and just over it..... It showed when it was over the line which is the point surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bad Bob Posted 2 April, 2013 Share Posted 2 April, 2013 It showed when it was over the line which is the point surely? Yeah it showed balls flying into the back of the net but it would have been nice to see those type of decisions where the ball bounces of the underside of the crossbar and then just over the line and then out again!!!

aintforever Posted 2 April, 2013 Share Posted 2 April, 2013 That has to be the worst promotional video ever. How about showing a situation where the thing would actually be used! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedg Posted 3 April, 2013 Share Posted 3 April, 2013 Problem is they were concentrating only on the goal line where having a couple of sensors is going to be feasible and where a goalmouth scramble might hide the ball from hawkeyes cameras. Its a pity they were not looking for a system to recording every time the ball went out of the playing area as the number of crucial times where a decision about if the ball was kept in play far outnumber the did it or didn't it cross the goal line situations.

This Charming Man Posted 4 April, 2013 Share Posted 4 April, 2013 Surprised that it's a German company....not. Well considering they're one of if not the most industrialised and technologically advanced countries in Europe, it's not much of a surprise at all.

Pugwash Posted 4 April, 2013 Share Posted 4 April, 2013 Well considering they're one of if not the most industrialised and technologically advanced countries in Europe, it's not much of a surprise at all. Indeed they are, thanks in no small amount to the Marshall Plan and British post-war industrial management. However, they certainly are not the most inventive or creative, especially when compared to the innovation coming out of this country - which unfortunately usually ends up being developed by other nations (like Germany and the US). Anyway we all know Sepp and his mates have the whole thing sewn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the point is, if it doesn't go over the line, it says nothing! So if it didn't go in, there'd be nothing to show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
