Goal Line Technology

[blues-clues]

Finally approved by Fifa

To be Tested in the Club World Cup in Japan in December and possibly for the 2013 Confed Cup and 2014 World Cup.

May be implemented in the PL part way through next season!

Will they implement in PL before the trials are done?

Ferguson will already know who the adjudicators are & be on the phone.

Doubtful!

Probably the beginning of season 2013 -2014 but if all the clubs agree and the technology can be put in place it seems possible that it might be in place before the end of the season.

Some irony in the fact the Frank Lampard may play in the first game in which the technology is officially used??

FFS, one of the worst things to happen in football if that comes off ... there will be fuck all to debate -E

[twosips]

What? Nothing to debate at all?

How many times a year do a team get an it did/didn't cross the line debate? Five at max surely...if that!

It'll take some of the debate out of it, yeah, but let's not pretend it'll change loads.

Sure at first, then it will be used to judge offsides, then fouls, then corners, throw in-s etc etc ... the games survived over 100 without the need for this bollox imo

the game may have "survived" without these things, but who's to say it won't thrive with them?

also, what is bad about any of the things you stated?

costa Rica missed the 2010 world cup because Uruguay scored an offside goal to beat them in the play off.

why should any team have to suffer a poor decision when we have the technology to get the decision correct every single time.

Have to disagree there mate. I've had this "but what will there be to debate without dodgy decisions" conversation loads of times.

Football should be about who played the best and won. Within the rules of the game.

More technology, provided it does not slow the game down, will help to eradicate corruption and bias.

Which is fucking rife as most of us know at this stage.

Ps, I've been a part timer on here lately, but I loved your landmark speech chinwag. Thanks for the mention. And the description of "interesting" was very diplomatic. You old politician you.

Hats off.

[Chinners]

I really don't see the big benefit of it coming in tbh but we'll see. One of the pluses I suppose is that we will not need presenters on the telly anymore, but it's certainly going spoil match threads on here and elsewhere mark my words!

... oh an A+ .. why thank you

[london blue 2]

How will united get their mandatory win against spurs every year now!

Ruining the game.

The flow of the game will be interrupted with all this technology coming in. Football will eventually become slow like rugby. I say stick with the extra official behind the goal :-)

All what technology? There are so few incidents per season that it will be rarely used. The amount of hold ups will be extremely minimal.

When the game was devised, it used the best technology then available, thre human referee. Life and the World have moved on, so should football.

...and Chinners, you old chewed up, broken pencil, "nothing to debate?"...with some of the characters on here?

pretty soon robots will just play instead of people.

WATERPROOF robots you luddite.

They have them in Japan i'm sure. Don't you watch movies or television?

cheers

[Beefymcfc]

For those who say that it is bad for debate, think about how most of these decisions came. They're usually from pile-drivers that deserve more recognition than a debate about was it in or out.
