Goal line technology

agreed 100%.

Laser beams across the goal line, that frazzle everything that goes though!!

That would make for some class last ditch attempts to get out of a slide

I'd prefer staying low-tech:

A solid wall of spikes set exactly one ball width's back from the goal-line.

That's a canny idea that.
Our strikers needn't worry cos there's never anyone there to slide in like that.

To people saying it might not be "perfect". So what. As least it will be neutral and consistant and improvable. Unlike refs.


Same situation in Tennis - the players don't think its infallible, but it might have an error of 1%, rather than a human's of 5%. Which is better.

Better is better.

Only, if it's detrimental to the game in the long term, it isn't better.

I can't wait for this to go wrong. Great stuff. :-D

Goal line technology will not mean the end to incorrect decisions by officials in relation to offside, of which there are many more than goal line incidents in every season. Or come to that, bad decisions on penalties which also outnumber poor goal line decisions.

Bit of a stupid post really.

It's GOAL LINE TECHNOLOGY. Not was he offside technology. We already have that, it's called idiots on TV replaying it over and over and will never be used. That's all part of the game and always will be.

This will stop things like England's goal that was ruled out against Zè Germans and the goal that was actually out for a corner/goal kick (can't remember exactly which), or the other millions of examples of disallowed goals and goals that shouldn't have stood and the endless debating over it for years to come.

Technology use in every other sport is ace. The more the better imo.

and anyone who says I'm clueless for suggesting this can look at the state of officialling, as well as the media in this country.

Anyone know why the HawkEye system is even getting a look-in compared to GoalRef?

GoalRef is cheaper, quicker, easier to install, more reliable (i.e. works even when the ball is obscured by players) and avoids any ridiculous big screen animations, just alerting the ref via his watch.

Who's pushing for HawkEye?

Someone will have some money invested.
