Goal Line Technology is going to be used for the first time at St Mary's Stadium which sees Eastleigh v Totton Play in a Non-League Final.
IMO, something we all want to see at times. Without it, it has both worked in our favour, and also against us. But sooner or later it is something that had to come, whether we like it or not.
Article :-
Goal Line Technology
So quite a simple vote.
Are you in favour or not.???

I'm in favour but I hope that it wouldn't be the start of technology coming into the game more. I'd hate technology for anything other than goal-line incidents.
Watching those referees stood at the side of the goal in European games is absolutely embarrassing. Completely pointless introduction of extra officials. Get the goal-line technology in. It's baffling that it isn't to be honest. Last edited on Sat Apr 28th, 2012 10:24 am by Woody

Good point.

| In principle I support it but the majority of poor decisions are not about whether a ball crosses the goal line.

Correct Sprout. Though I can see the benefit of having goal line technology it is hiding dishonesty in the game.
If we take the QPR game Bogdan knew that ball was over the line, if we go back to the 70's most players would have told the ref the ball crossed the line and accepted that a goal has been scored. As the 80's wore on dishonesty crept into all forms of sport, including Cricket.
What should happen, whether it is a dive or whether a goal crossed the line or not, is it should be reviewed the next Tuesday after the match. In the case of of the ball crossing the line the question should be asked would the goalie / last defender / or even opposition striker have known whether the ball crossed the line or not if the panel agree (and by and large one or all of the players know) then an appropriate ban should be given and the player fined for unsporting behaviour.
Introducing technology for a one off incident is in my view a waste of money and lets the FA get away without having to stand up against cheating, which the blight of the game.

| I agree with that Greeny, sportsmen should play in the spirit of the game, as they put it in cricket. Ultimate Frisbee is self-refereed, even at the highest levels, and generally people will call their own fouls. Imagine if football was the same!

Goal line technology - definately. It is a simple yes / no answer.
As for honesty in players, it very very very rarely happens.
One example was that Spurs goal at United which was a full metre over the line - the goalie knew (as did the majority of the ground), but he said nothing, just played on.
On the other side of the spectrum, you had Paulo DiCannio catching the ball when all he had to do was head it into the back of an empty net with the keeper down on the ground injured. Very sportmanlike - I was happy he did it, nice to see. But, if that is SKD a week on Sunday, against Stoke, 89th minute, QPR losing, what do we say then?

Cricket has video technology. Rugby League has it. Rugby Union has it. Tennis has it. I don't see why football should be an exception.
A goal that should/shouldn't have been can relegate a team or lose a cup final. We need it asap.

Are these sports any better for it? I don't think so. If the players didn't cheat and admitted the foul, we wouldn't need goal line technology or video technology in cricket.
It's a sad reflection on todays sportsmen that they are not prepared to admit their mistakes and even when they do, as in the case of the Swiss footballer, they get sent off.

Yes. Cricket, Rugby League, Rugby Union and Tennis are all better off for it. That's a strange statement you make that they aren't? Not sure what your reasoning is behind that?
As for players being sportsmen and owning up, it's a nice idea. Perhaps you also think that there shouldn't be any wars if people just got on together? We live in the real world. We live in an atmosphere of multi-million pound players and competitions that could make or break careers. Plus.....your scenario doesn't factor in when players genuinely don't know if a ball has crossed the line and it doesn't factor in mistakes made by officials.

| And no doubt there will be more arguments raging following Andy Carroll's disallowed effort in the FA Cup Final.

We was talking about Goal Line technology, when we first started playing at "The Reebok". If the goal that never was against Everton had been given, then we would not have been relegated.
QPR will probably be saying the same thing when Hill's goal crossed the line, was never given and they get relegated.
There are always, as they say, swings and roundabouts in football, which people say balance themselves out.
Lets just hope that the swing goes in our direction this time and we stay in the PL...

I think the argument is that unless it's over the line, it's not been disallowed. Just as if the ball hit the bar and bounced back out. If the ball had hit the back of the net and then ruled offside...then it's been disallowed.
Since the ball clearly wasn't wholly over the line, then it can't be disallowed.

So lets look at the England Ukraine game. If we had goal line technology we would have drawn / lost the game. Yet it would have distorted the game as Ukraines goal was clearly offside.
Thats the problem with introducing this type of thing, unless it covers everything, then doing it for a narrow event that happens rarely in the game would distort it.
Also lack of controversy makes the game boring (imo).
