Goal line technology

So where do we all stand on this subject I personally think its a daft idea

The only thing is Bert. The extra officials at the Euro champs are not doing much. So I think we need some system to help the refs. So I'm for technology.

Thought you might have an opinion on it and I also knew you would be for it. How is grass roots football going to replicate this

Just my opinion Bert you asked for them. They have technology in 1st class cricket which can't be replicated at grass roots. Don't start topics if you don't like the response you may get.

I think the role of the officials behind the goal line is rather misrepresented. I have heard quite a few commentators at these Championships claim that they are worthless because "they never give any decisions". How do we know that? They are miked up to talk to the referee, and I am sure they do just that. Just because they haven't got a flag to wave or signal with their arms doesn't mean they aren't making a contribution to officiating the match.

Good point Imp what I would like too know is what the wand is for seems worthless to me.

How do we know they are doing anything. Gerrand was fouled on the edge of the box and nothing was given. Lots of pens have been turned down. They seem to be a little scared to get involved.

Anyway back to goal line technology

And I agree with Bert why don't they have a flag

Goal line technology? If you want the right decisions all the time, go for it. If you are willing to forgive the odd mistake, leave it as it is! For most I guess that means "Go for it!"

Not a fan of it myself, looks like a slippery slope to me & where will it stop? A player can dive take the free kick & have it adjudged to be a goal, so what do we do Cameras for diving, offside, keepers drop kicks, maybe mike up the players just in case they say something naughty.
Good job the game is in the safe hands of Giuseppe the trustworthy

I say " the sooner the better " and start using instant replays to ensure critical decisions are correct.
There is far to much at risk these days in top flight football for idiotic ones.

Far too much at stake such as? Money !!!!! The same evil that is sending football down

i think we would all agree England had a bit of luck last night. thanks goodness they didnt have goal line technology at the euro 2012. and DB and Bertie boy can stop worrying about the financial side of football. keep using the extra official with no flags its cheeper.

Did you (like the linesman!) miss the offside at the start of the move. At least a yard offside on the halfway line, should never have got that far!

Well M & M as you saw yesterday or probably didnt the goal line incident actually meant nothing as the player was off side from the original pass. You clearly have got over excited about having yet another dig at somebody on this forum you failed to get all the facts and look at them as a football person rather than an excited teenager.

Well Bertie as you may or may not have seen the offside wasnt given so the goal would have stood if they had technology. your just trying to make yourself popular on the forum by agreeing with everyone except me. next time get YOUR facts straight. all i said was that we were a bit lucky but im still happy we won. And we all know you support Spain.

So you would say we need off side techno next then ?? And I tipped Spain to win because of their footballing ability not a childish who do you support reason. And it's Albert to you

So when are we going to install the cameras and the big screen at the corner of the ground to watch the replays

We can ask the young kids who post on here to do it for us!

I doubt mean machine is tall enough perhaps he could sit on trims shoulders and film it with his handy cam.

Far too many boxes in these replies
