    It’s obviously far from ideal, but I really can’t understand why any football fan would think that cancelling a season more than three quarters of the way through it would be preferable to finishing it by having footballers playing football. To me, it’s just a really strange mindset.

    I can understand fans maybe not fancying watching games due to the surreal atmospheres, but nobody’s forcing anyone to do that.

    The tech company have admitted their system failed to spot the goal.

    It's different but the Man City v Arsenal game is great to watch and players showing no signs of just going through the motions.

    Crowd noise works for me.

    Really that’s not the way I see it when the penalty was awarded and taken.

    Of course you can’t help but not to see the fans booing trying to distract the penalty taker. You been to a match before Parker?

    It’s not a thing I take any notice of in a televised game, the camera is focussed on about 15/16 yards of the pitch, taking in the penalty taker and ‘keeper, not much of the crowd in the picture, then it’s shown from behind the goal usually. Watching now in open play and you can see about the first seven or eight rows of the crowd on one side of the pitch on other times nothing of the crowd at all. Have a look now.

    It’s not just what you see either, the noise of the crowd also adds to the game. But I take your point Parker.

    How inconvenient that two players and a goal post got in the way of the Hawkeye system. Whoever put them there should be severely reprimanded.

    Innit though.
    Absolutely ridiculous and must be binned, along with Carragher!

    Was just thinking the same thing on the throne. Technology is supposed to put an end to refereeing decisions costing teams games. Instead we've seen that technology isn't infallible, isn't always consistent and is probably more highly criticised when it goes wrong.

    I've been against technology in football with the exception of hawkeye. I might have to reassess that now.

    Would the goal be awarded before we had the tech?
    Of course it would - a decision by the ref and lino.

    Micjael Oliver (a good ref, IMO) said he couldn't award the goal because his watch didn't vibrate.
    Hawkeye say their cameras' views were obstructed - but funny how all the camera angles Sky had showed the ball over the line.
    I reckon they simply forgot to switch the tech on.

    And if refs rely so much on the tech. why are they on the pitch? Might as well ref from DStockley Park, with whistles and telling-offs over the tannoy.
    Why can't they make a decision for themselves?
    MO could have called for a VAR review.
