  Speaker 1: Dave Rennie had a bit of a crack at the
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: TMO over the weekend. Did you see that at the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: same time a FIFA semi final ball had a spider
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: cam in the US and the Norwegians went nuts? Why
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: because the TMO or the soccer equivalent didn't do anything
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: about it. Apparently it should be an automatic drop ball
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: if that was to happen, and was shown to have happened.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Both of these games, different sports played halfway round the
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: world from each other, tell you all you need to
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: know about tmos. When you're up and winning, they're always
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: budding in when they're not wanted, aren't they. But when
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: it's your team who's on the back foot and could
• 0:34

• 0:37

• 0:49
  Speaker 1: is quite simple. Play. Without it, things will get missed,
• 0:53

• 0:57
  Speaker 1: is not perfect either. Games move fast, but the results
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: are less accurate, or you embrace the technology and the
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: cameras and the man in the bunker. How one day
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: it'll probably just be an AI powered and decided thing. Personally,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I'd rather something was quick and dirty than long and accurate,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you. There's TMI from the TMO. Mistakes happen. Chances
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: are they'll happen to everyone equally. We've played sports of
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: sorts for centuries without the need for cameras and bunkers.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: If we can, and if we want, we could just
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: keep doing that for a few centuries longer. For more
