evissy Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 http"] The Premier League is planning to trial the Hawk-Eye technology introduced in tennis at this year's Wimbledon to determine whether the ball has crossed the line or not.The "blind trial" will take place at Reading's academy with a view to implementing the ball-tracking system in matches should it prove successful. I'm a computer engineer and interested in new technology, but I don't want technology to be added in football. It is much nicer to argue over those 50/50 situations. Was the ball in or out? If the referees get an 'hawk-eye' they will not get all the s*it they are used to. I wan't them to get all the s*it they deserve
Guest Brian M Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 On 'did the ball cross the line' decisions, I'm okay with it. But that's about it. You're lucky to get a 'did the ball cross the line' argument once every four or five games, so it's nothing that'll slow down the game. But God forbid we go the way of Gridiron or Rugby and have stoppages and video replays and all that other boring crap, every two minutes. Football. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I dont mind it for goal line decisions, but really dont see the need for it anywhere else.
Lofty Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 In a word: NO I personally am well pissed off with the likes of David "I could whine for Scotland" Moyes moaning and blaming the referee every time a decision doesn't go his way. Love 'em or hate 'em, referees are human and they make mistakes, as do players and managers. Let the referee's decision be final and have done with it. Goal line technology in itself might seem harmless enough, even beneficial. However, my concern here is that the introduction of technology will be the start of a very long, slippery slope.
