From: JCQ on 30 Jun 2010 11:29 Blatter said FIFA would review goal line technology. Review is not good enough for me. It's possible that they can play a world cup without even needing goal line technology. 99% of the time goals hit the back of the net. The real need for technology is with off sides. Here they could totally eliminate the human element and get it right every time. We have all seen the replays on TV. There is also computer technology that could get the off sides call right 100% of the time. Just think of how good that would make the game since these calls are a factor in every single match. My suggestion would be 2 red lights on top of the goal. When they are turned on it's off sides. Linesman would then only be needed to look for fouls that the ref may not see. This should be mandatory at the world cup and optional at any other tournament or league. Blatter of course will never go for it because he doesn't really care about justice in the final results. He likes the mistakes because they create headlines and controversy which he and others at FIFA might think is good for business. It's up to the fans to demand technology and stop watching or spending money on FIFA products if they don't get it. That's the only way they will listen.

I am sure if all the players and the ball were wearing some sort of tracking device, GPS could be utilised to work out offsides in real time and relay infringements to your lights on top of the goals.

GPS is not exact. Just ask the Iraqui people when they were getting bombed by technology. Cameras and computers are enough to do what you are talking about. It's similar to what they show on television. A computer can instantly get the calls right 100% of the time.

P.S. just don't ask it to work out who's "interfering with play" or not.

Get rid of the offsides rule altogether. |
