FA statement: #BWFC #QPR The Football Association issue a statement calling for goal-line technology to be introduced "as soon as possible"

Still doubt anything will happen, and seems an unusually quick response to the qpr incident
 

Didn't FIFA issue a statement saying something about goal line technology last week?



Edit:~ Found it...

You have to laugh. Cries for technology for incidents that can't happen more than once every few thousand games. Offside, hand ball, diving and sending off offenses, seen in every game? The same incompetent pair of human eyes will do!

And even if the FA get their wish it will only help in situations where a its unclear if the ball has crossed the line, not penalties or sendings off
 
It wont take long to set up, technically they could make some alterations and have goal line set up for the Euro's.
 
Just stick a tiny tiny little camera in both the corners where the post meets the bar. If it's right it the corner, it would be impossible for the ball to touch it.

i have often thought they do not want to sort out the whole diving, handball ect. too much work.
the only think they want to sort out is the goal line technology.
Goals mean more entertainment and this means more sponsors.
allowing players the right to go down if another player comes within ten yards was a mistake. bale and lennon do this every game.
 
This^^^
If you want to get rid of dirty play and cheating, it's pointless relying on human eyes. The FA can retrospectively punish stuff already (e,g,Bardley's stamp on Mata) so why not punish diving, shirtpulling and all that cheating, by giving serious bans to the players that do it all the time. (I'm looking at you Suarez). Refs take a lot of stick, but if players stopped doing it, we would all see the benefit.
 
Assuming goal-line technologhy comes in. How long before Wenger/Dalglish etc complain after conceding "it should have been a goal kick not a corner" or "the foul was outside the box". What about all the other events that affect the flow of the game ? Where do we draw the line (no pun intended) ?

Exactly, it will help the game but it will mean more things for managers to complain about

Indeed. If Clint Hill's goal (for example) ends up being referred to technology and allowed, how many people will be moaning when a linesman gets a marginal offside decision wrong later on in the game and the goal isn't allowed?

It's a slippery old slope.

What about the 10 camera angles we seen immediatly after the goal.

Corner, header, goal......3 seconds

Replay 7 seconds

4th Official shouting into refs earpiece ....."goal"
 
No need at all for technology, human error is all part of the game. Its what makes football so exciting to watch, not knowing if the referee/lino is gonna have a nightmare against or for your team.

Stick to playing football manager if you want artificial intelligence
