Admin Maesknoll Red Posted June 30, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Apparently it's not fitted to all the courts, BBC just shown a great rant from one of the outer courts on a disputed call. How can you have a tournament where every game is not played to the same rules? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted July 1, 2016 Admin Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Guess the FA Cup doesn't use it in all rounds? But yeah is a vaild point, guess it is more to do with having "show courts" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Luck of the draw really, the cost of implementing it for every court, for cricket every game and for football every ground would be huge. So they're used where the big money is that can cover it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they aren't part of the same tournament, it would be like having goal line technology in only 3 or 4 Premiership grounds. I understand about different levels of sport having or not having it, but it's not right, IMO, to have it in some matches and not others in the same tournament. Imagine the outcry if there were different rules for games in the Euros or World Cup finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Pretty sure live county games can refer to third umpire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
