A very interesting article here about technology that will be implemented next season in the MLS. Essentially a tracker that records every player's data during a game providing a detailed insight into every player's performance.
What do you think? Would you like to see it in the Premiership? Or do you think it's a step too far?

I'm one of those that is against technology in football.
I love the fact that I can listen to the phone in after the game and dispute/discuss the big decisions.
I love coming into work and debating the key incidents from the weekends games.
Leave the game in its organic state - it might not be perfect but its the game we all love and that's good enough for me.

There's still plenty to discuss if you get rid of the stupid errors!

I just don't think there are enough incidents to warrant what I consider to be Huge changes to the game

Metro - the article in the link is about monitors being used on players to check things like heart rates, recovery times etc. not about decisions like goal line technology!
