Scoreboard of the Camp Nou stadium

[edit]

Hello. This photo shows Solskjaer's final 2-1 goal in the incredible 1999 Champions League final, won by Manchester United over Bayern Munich. You can see above, the scoreboard showing the old result (1:1) but without the name of the scorer of the goal of the momentary English equaliser, signed by Teddy Sheringham. Is it possible that the names of United's goalscorers appeared on the scoreboard after the final whistle? The match was settled after the 90th minute, with the English turning the tables in two minutes (91st and 93rd) and winning the game. Thank you very much. https://www.google.it/search?q=manchester+bayern+1999+scoreboard+stadium&sxsrf=APwXEdfAYtl2LWmHWBhEeSMP3xT-Be0B9g:1684087932714&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwj2w_-3tPX-AhU6Q_EDHfO1CPsQ_AUoAXoECAEQAw&biw=1964&bih=985&dpr=0.9#imgrc=7sKFR4FGI53IXM&imgdii=vP4X30lhLoTNxM 93.41.96.86 (talk) 18:27, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Scoreboard technology was relatively primitive back then, especially on one shaped like that in the linked picture. However, there are pictures of a large rectangular scoreboard elsewhere in the stadium (see here for example) that would seemingly have been able to display scorers names. --Xuxl (talk) 14:46, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It wasn't that primitive. After all, it looks like it is displaying the Bayern Munich scorer under their side of the scoreboard. Photo-quality scoreboards were available in the 1990s. They were expensive, but a stadium for the calibre of Camp Nou could afford such a scoreboard. Jumbotron technology was almost 2 decades old by 1999. --Jayron32 16:59, 15 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes exactly, I was referring to the big screens. https://www.gettyimages.it/detail/fotografie-di-cronaca/ole-gunnar-solskjaer-scores-his-second-sides-fotografie-di-cronaca/1090909712

Was the town where Ted was driving behind it Kilfenora? See the 0:08-0:10 scene on YouTube. And what town was used for The Mainland - where Ted drop off Mrs Doyle, where Jack left the opticians and walking into the street before going into the AA meeting building and where he entered a pub at night? 86.130.77.121 (talk) 21:25, 16 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I know no more than the linked sources say. Alansplodge (talk) 10:11, 17 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
