Message: [QUOTE="Confidor, post: 3413443, member: 9721"] Reading this post and after watching the game I looked into where forward pass technology is currently at. Found this article dated late March this year. Some of the quotes in here I've found quite concerning. "Our game is based on continuity. We don't want to be pulling up things that don't look like forward passes and causing unnecessary stoppages. "We need to develop policies for its use that won’t unduly interfere with the flow of the game and the entertainment value for fans." "Do we really want to be stopping a game for a pass that's going one or two degrees forward or are we looking more for the ones that are 10 or 15 degrees forward" If the technology picks up a forward pass, it can instantly relay that to the Bunker or on-field referees. We may get to a point where it does that for all forward passes. In the shorter term, it may only be used when checked in try-scoring situations. "They will get in their ear and ultimately it will be down to the ref to decide what to do in the moment," he says. "They have the most experience and understand when to interrupt the flow of the game and when to make a decision and they are the logical choice for when to implement the technology. No idea how to insert a website link on mobile to this post. Apologizes I'm not sure about you guys. But reading these quotes doesn't instill mush faith. Why incorporate it at all if officials can choose to ignore it. Be interesting to know if there's any margin of error in the technology. [/QUOTE]
