1
getting us on to football.
2
I think the best way for us to start, Keith, is Celtic.
3
Martin O'Neill's been speaking today.
4
We've talked about it a lot in the last couple of days.
5
The VAR calls against St Mirren at the weekend and he's not a happy bunny.
6
No, he is not.
7
And I don't know if he was watching Hotline Live, but what he was saying today sounded very familiar.
8
Right in line with what Mick's verdict was from St Mirren the other day in terms of HSC, VAR lines getting drawn on, all that sort of stuff.
9
So, I mean, Mick called it I was alarmed remember towards the end of last season
10
when we were speaking to the Roach man Des Roach
11
and he was explaining to us
12
because I thought the lines were the kind of black
13
and white no grey area part of VAR the one bit that you could actually trust but Des kind of confused me, blinded me with science a little bit
14
and left me by the end of the conversation I'm thinking so we can't even trust the lines
15
and there was a couple of angles from Duran's goal for Celtic
16
that was chopped off that cast a lot of doubt on stuff, didn't it?
17
So I can understand if I was Martin O'Neill I'd be asking the same questions
18
that one there is the one that makes it look as
19
if it was onside That looks onside but the one that gave us looks off Yeah,
20
and I did say at real speed to the naked eye I thought it looked offside
21
but when I saw that angle the previous one there I'm thinking to myself
22
that looks to me as if the pass has been played
23
and he's on set I don't know I don't know anymore I thought
24
that was the one bit that we could totally rely on I thought
25
that was the bit where the science was safe
26
and now I'm not sure anymore
27
so I can understand why Martin O'Neill was saying something very similar to what Mick said the other day
28
Martin did a very classic Martin O'Neill fashion making.
29
I had a bit of a moan about it and the end, he went, I'm not complaining.
30
He got the camera on early.
31
I'm not complaining.
32
It gets back to what we're saying.
33
We've got a problem in this country.
34
I'm not sure if it's actually the technology to blame
35
or the fact that we don't have the camera angles in this country.
36
You go to England or the World Cups and all that stuff and there's about 180 cameras in the game, every angle, they've got AI, they've got 3D, they've got all that stuff.
37
You get four cameras and weird parts of the ground sometimes
38
and we've got stadiums that don't have bits of the ground
39
that are even on the same bit of the pitch and all that stuff.
40
You get some weird angles and it just looks a bit pixelated.
41
We've got less, I think we've got less frames
42
that we can use as well
43
and it's just down to the kind of slightly cheap over version
44
that we use in terms of the country in terms of the facilities we've got unfortunately Mike,
45
Willie call him and he made a point of going out his way of mentioning at the kind of
46
pre-season debrief or briefing to the media and he riled at the suggestion of Poundland
47
said that's just not true but it is true, we've seen the World Cup you said it the other day, the World Cup one you've got 3D,
48
the whole thing turns around it's like you're playing FIFA
49
or something like that and and it clearly shows what part of the body.
50
We just don't have nothing like that.
51
It's ridiculous to say that we have not got the cheap end of the scale when it comes to VAR.
52
I think what I think the get out is, he'll say that it's not the actual VAR technology system we've got, it's the information fed into it.
53
So like a Sky game down in England will have 3,000 cameras at every angle, whereas up in Scotland, we don't get that.
54
We just don't get it, whether it's Sky or Premier or all that stuff we get four or five different camera angles and that's it.
55
Whereas in England, they've got cameras on zip wires, they've got guys with segways flying inside the pitch and all that stuff.
56
Drones.
57
Drones, all these things we've got we've got about four
58
or five camera angles so i think i think
59
that might be part of the problem as well the information fed into this var
60
that we've got you're not getting the full picture you're not getting all the angles
61
that they get down south we don't have this system yeah
62
see this is the difference though we are relying on individuals human beings
63
drawing these lines on whereas theirs all seemed the best versions all seem automated yeah
64
and it's it's done by computer and there's no room for for factual anomalies
65
or errors it's just what you see is what you get
66
and it's right and you can you can trust it we don't have that
67
no no well the world cup had automated blinds or something didn't they it was pretty much
68
out the hands of human beings, which is the way it eventually will go.
69
I mean, AI is going to take over the whole world anyway, so it won't matter to AI players, never mind officials.
70
But we'll be the last ones to get the robot players.
71
AI hotly alive.
72
We'll still be the last remaining humans in a post-apocalyptic world trying to play football.
73
But yeah, it just looks, when you see those two pictures, You go, it all just looks a bit Exa-sketchy,
74
a bit kind of Pixelated and it's like Think back to World Cup
75
when it basically Would flash around and you see like The part of the body that was offside Yeah,
76
it's 3D Even the animated images The player's images in there as well It's like a computer game
77
Whereas if it's a computer game you've got Atari 2600 from the 80s still
78
Right on the Xbox So I just think I'm just going to have to lump it Unfortunately, because this is the way it is It's funny to say that,
79
Mike, because that's one of the comments that have come in just a moment ago.
80
Badger says, where is it in fact, if I can find it here.
81
He says, it's like playing with Atari while the rest of your mates have got an Xbox.
82
John says, what about bringing in Wenger's fresh air gap between the attacker
83
and the opponent for offside divisions Green Machine says
84
if you buy cheap you get cheap results and McKenna says
85
and this is one thing
86
that I think all the others kind of agreed on the other night
87
which I don't really get why they don't do it this way
88
but it's as close as that surely just the on-field decision counts if you can't tell on the screen, right, you gave it offside, it's offside.
89
I mean, sort of.
90
Yeah, I can't remember.
91
They didn't give Turan offside, though, did they?
92
No. At real speed.
93
So, if they think that the computers are telling them that it's offside, I suppose they've got to go with it.
94
The difficulty I think we all had was with the third goal, Celtic's third goal later in the game that didn't stand,
95
when the VAR system didn't worked and it was left to a subjective review, pitch side review which seemed to make no sense at all to me
96
so yeah I can understand the frustrations
97
but I do think there was probably of more interest to everybody
98
because I think they're all sick
99
and tired of her already this season I think the big news Mick and you had a story about it,
100
I think it was online last night half past ten
101
Jota ahead of schedule could be back sooner rather than later for Celtic.
102
That's big news.
103
It is, yeah.
104
I mean, long awaited.
105
We're getting on for 18 months.
106
The word is that he's taking part in kind of small-sided games and he's looking pretty decent.
107
Listen, he's not kicked a ball for 18 months than anything else, so he's going to be rusty.
108
But I think he's making good progress.
109
I think the original, not the original, because the original prognosis was nine months, then it was 12 months, then it was the summer.
110
I think in the summer, they felt he'd be back after Halloween.
111
I think early November was a kind of target
112
They're now kind of thinking That that might actually now be the case
113
And I think they're looking at it now after the international break
114
Not before then I wouldn't think about it before then But I think they might think they can get

Primeiras impressões: por que esse vídeo é ótimo para praticar fala

O diálogo sobre a reação de Martin O’Neill ao VAR é uma excelente oportunidade para aprender inglês com vídeos. A conversa é informal, cheia de expressões coloquiais e reflete a linguagem cotidiana usada em debates esportivos, o que a torna perfeita para quem quer melhorar a fluência. Além disso, os interlocutores usam intonações variadas (como ironia e frustração) e pausas naturais, elementos essenciais para uma prática de conversação em inglês realista. Se você usa um shadowing site ou prática o shadowspeak, esse material vai te ajudar a imitar a cadência e a pronúncia de falantes nativos.

Analisando o diálogo: frases naturais e como elas funcionam

Vamos quebrar algumas frases para entender por que elas soam autênticas:

  • “he's not a happy bunny”: Essa expressão coloquial significa “ele não está feliz” e é usada em contextos informais. É uma alternativa divertida a “he's not happy”, mostrando como o inglês nativo usa metáforas simples.
  • “blinded me with science”: Significa “me confundiu com explicações complexas”. A estrutura “blind + with + algo” é comum para expressar sobrecarga de informação, e “science” aqui é usado de forma figurada, não literal.
  • “I'm not complaining”: Dita com uma intonação irônica, essa frase contradiz a queixa anterior, mostrando como o tom de voz muda o significado. É uma técnica usada para suavizar críticas em conversas.
  • “it's like you're playing FIFA”: Comparar a tecnologia com um jogo de vídeo é uma forma informal de explicar algo complexo. Essas analogias são frequentemente usadas no inglês cotidiano para tornar ideias mais acessíveis.

Rotina de prática: como usar o vídeo para melhorar sua fala

Use o método shadowspeak para treinar: reproduza um trecho curto (5-10 segundos) do vídeo, pause e repita imitando a intonação, a velocidade e os acentos. Grave sua voz e compare com o original — você vai notar rapidamente onde precisa ajustar. Faça isso 3 vezes por trecho, then avance para o próximo. Para uma prática mais intensa, use um shadowing site para sincronizar sua fala com o áudio. Lembre-se: a chave é a repetição constante. Em uma semana, você vai sentir mais confiança na sua prática de conversação em inglês, especialmente em situações informais.

Essas dicas são rápidas, mas eficazes — comece hoje mesmo e veja o progresso!

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
