@FootballJOE Don't think I have ever found Danny Murphy interesting as much as the last 72 hours - man is an underrated (unintentional) comedian.
This need this to be an episodic series.
June 9, 1990. The Soviet Union have started brightly in their opening game of the World Cup against Romania and have a free kick, 25 yards from goal.
What happens next is, for the time, groundbreaking. The Soviet broadcaster has something unprecedented up its sleeve: a virtual, three-dimensional replay.
โThe wall, you can literally see it clearly now, how poorly it was placed,โ complains the Soviet commentator. โWell, not really a wall, but, you know, a flimsy little fence, where there were gaps. Then this distance to the wall, thatโs what shows the refereeโs mistake. Heโs obliged to (make it) nine metres but there were only eight. So, electronics help to convince not only the players of their mistakes, but also the referees.โ
Every generation goes through a phase where they think they are the glue, holding all other generations together.
Millennials are going through that phase now!
