  - I think we're getting a little carried away, here (Other Football) - Iwan Husarmi, Jun 27, 20:39:57
- That's a communication aiding process, rather than a decision making process. (Other Football) - Arganth, Jun 27, 20:08:11
  - it's technology that is used at the top level but not in park games (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 27, 20:09:15
    - As IH says, they have flags. (Other Football) - Arganth, Jun 27, 20:11:45
      - Anyhoo, I like you Tricky, so I'm happy to agree to disagree for now... (Other Football) - Arganth, Jun 27, 20:15:35
      - they're introducing 2 goal line officials in 2014, will they have that in parks? (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jun 27, 20:14:42

- Frankly, that's what they give 'em flags for (n/m) (Other Football) - Iwan Husarmi, Jun 27, 20:06:23
  - right (Other Football) - Tricky Hawes, Jun 27, 20:08:31
    - oh do fuck off (Other Football) - no one, Jun 27, 20:23:12
    - Better pitches, better balls (Other Football) - Iwan Husarmi, Jun 27, 20:11:00
      - the top level needs technology because the stakes are higher (Other Football) - SCC 28, Jun 27, 20:15:43
        
        And they have them at the top level in those sports (Other Football) - Iwan Husarmi, Jun 27, 20:20:58
        
        when was the last shocking decision in tennis? (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Jun 27, 20:26:39
