Goal Line Tech decision Thursday

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-18692702

This has no need to be so overly complicated at all. Solution:

2 HD super slo mo cameras on each side of the goal looking along the line which an official is watching somewhere in the stadium. He is then added into the inner ear comms system that refs and linesmen already have to speak to each other to confirm or deny that a goal should be given in terms of it being over the line.

It take seconds as has already been proved by the more simplistic camera system that TV companies already employ.

IT REALLY ISN'T DIFFICULT!!

Yes I do like a good argument on the pitch!

How about a brick wall in the goal at the point where if the ball touched it, it'd officially be over the line? You'd know if there was a shot and it bounced out again, it'd be a goal.

I can't see a brick wall be appealing to the Keepers union somehow.

They'd like not having to fetch the ball out the back of the net though.

I say no to Goal line technology

Our game hasn't needed it to become the biggest and best sport in the world.

Just leave it. Subjective decisions make the game interesting and give us all reason to discuss/debate.

i am in agreement with metro. I think the thought of goal line technology and making the game better is oversimplistic and could have the the potential to prove more trouble than its worth

I would love the technology to be deployed in some contentious referee decisions as well, like off side leading to a goal etc

That's not goal line tech, now we are talking guide ref . Once we are reviewing for one infringement in the build up to a goal, such as offside, then we will see pressure for others to be reviewed. This is where the real danger lies and has the potential to drastically change the game.

Op, who's going to pay for these HD super slo mo camera. They can't be cheap I'd imagine and there are thousands of professional teams round the world to be equipped

Let's be honest, goal line technology will only solve minor problems. The biggest problem with decisions in football is the incompetence of refs and linesmen and them useless 5th officials
