I wonder could it be 'modified' into an automated voting machine by any chance. If such a project could be deemed cost effective of course......going forward!! Be great for 'referenda' anyway, with the Tá & Níl built in already, and red lines & green lines for cutting edge 'analysis' too.

You do wonder how many more wrong calls can be attributed to Hawkeye at this stage. There's been many times I've seen it show the trajectory of the ball looking like a score and the decision being the opposite. I assumed it was just the way the system conveys the message. But after yesterday I'm starting to think the system is as big a bluffer as half the umpires. I can live with a human error. But for 7/8k per match technology? Unforgivable.

If the ball is higher than the posts it is impossible for humans to be 100% sure,Could the technology that draws the line for offside be used ie by continuing a line from the post up. gunman (Donegal) - Posts: 1059 - 10/07/2022 12:39:06 2431013 Link 0 |

Why do the Umpires on the goalposts look like dozy geriatrics who aren't in tune with the game ? Vish (USA) - Posts: 88 - 10/07/2022 12:57:46 2431016 Link 0 |

Were umpires at fault earlier in year when I think Fermanagh lost out on promotion because umpires were daydreaming of what they were going to eat for free later. Lot of hours training for players for this to happen. Hogan stand forum has two Hawkeyes.

The referee has complete control while the game is on. If that had happened at the full-time whistle rather than half-time then then the score would not have stood and it would be left up to the CCC the following week (assuming it was a result-defining score that is).

There was one incident in the fist half, or maybe I'm confusing it with the Tailteann Cup Final, where the umpire called for the technology. That showed that it was a mile wide making the umpire look a fool. One wonders though, rare to see an umpire gt it THAT wrong

What sport are you talking about? A video ref could look at a ball above the height of the uprights a hundred times and still not have a clue whether it was in or not. And can you even imagine how long that would take!!

The GAA paid €200k to install the Hawk-Eye system at Croke Park. Plus, another €7k to €8 every time it's used. It failed yet again yesterday, during one of the biggest matches of the year. It's got so bad they've turned it off for today's football semi-final. Yes, 'The inevitable Hawkeye thread'. What do you want people to do, shut up and say nothing?

Fermanagh were denied a point but they certainly weren't denied promotion. Stick to facts Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 1502 - 10/07/2022 16:21:08 2431080 Link 0 |

Defending the indefensible, either some connection with the Hawkeye set up or the officials whose job is to oversee it in the Association. There has being problems with Hawkeye for some time & they haven't been cleared up. Also instead of the GAA communications / PR unit coming out & making a statement on the issues showing transparency & clearing up any ambiguity, they toughed it out as usual. At this stage Hawkeye is done, the question must be asked as to how many games it has cost teams. If it were professional sport, there would be lawsuits. Questions about who has oversight on it in Croke Park must be answered as they were definitely asleep at the wheel, despite a number of red flag issues. Also is there independent governance of it on the day like the Lotto operators ? Hawkeye & Croke Park officials overseeing it failed in their roles, major PR disaster. Nothing wrong with copying other sports that have successful systems & while they are at it, bring in the Time Clock like the LGFA, cut out the nonsense around black cards & refs giving teams another opportunity when games are tight. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 10/07/2022 18:20:31 2431132 Link 2 |

I have been posting about Hawkeye for years. Remember it was brought in to "assist" umpires when the ball, especially in hurling crossed the end line higher than the uprights. So, in cases where an umpire was in doubt, he would signal to the ref, who would then request Hawkey to review the shot. In the year of testing prior to going live only 1 score was incorrectly called by the umpires. Within a short time of its introduction Hawkeye was not assisting umpires but reversing decisions they made on a regular basis. In hurling Hawkeye was awarding points that had been saved from going over by the goalkeeper. In the case in question, Derry V Galway, a 45 with the umpires and ref perfectly positioned, and the ball not being higher than the uprights, Hawkeye overruled the match officials and had a good point disallowed. Major bookmakers offer odds on whether Hawkeye would be used during the game. Each time Hawkeye is used a major optician company is advertised. Preferably it should be discontinued altogether but at a minimum should NEVER be used unless called on be the Umpires/Ref. Remember Derry were denied what looked a good point also, though in that case the umpire did request it. In the Connacht final last year at Croke Park, Galway also had what all the team, and indeed the umpires, believed was a good point, overturned when Hawkey intervened 30 seconds later. It was a turning point in the game. The reversal of the bad decision which was correct only happened because RTE camaras proved the ball was well inside. Derry would have been set back mentally by that as we were last year. Hopefully they will get rid it. giveitlong (Galway) - Posts: 1223 - 10/07/2022 20:11:17 2431175 Link 0 |

They didn't open the thread when it settled all the endless debates about controversial scores. When your Windows or Mac don't do what they're supposed to do what do you do? Get rid of it?

Hawkeye update this week but won't be used for all Ireland hurling on Sunday. Doubt if it will be necessary anyway, as could be an easy win for the Cats. Limerick have struggled all year whilst KK trounced Clare. Hurl15 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 6 - 11/07/2022 08:22:56 2431231 Link 0 |
