It was announced today that goal line technology would not be appearing until at least the 2013-2014 season. Delayed yet again. And all I ask is why. WHY???
The times last season that goal line tech would have been useful is ridiculous. Apparently, they still have to test how accurate it is, as it is not fully up to scratch. Well, here's an idea, why don't the FA just buy the hawkeye technology in tennis (that definitely works) and use it in football? It really isn't that hard, and to be honest I,m pretty fed up with all the excuses.
The other problem of course is Michel Platini. The FA can do whatever they like. But as far as it being used in the Champions League and the Euro, we're still far off. Platini is strongly against the idea, for some inexplicable reason, and so he will need to leave before anybody can get anywhere with it on a European scale.
Having said that, seeing goal line technology at world cups is a possibility. Blatter isn't against the idea, but it would probably go down to a vote, and we know what happened last time there was some attempt at a vote in FIFA. CORRUPTION!!!
I hope to God it comes into practice soon. Waiting season after season for it is really frustrating, and while they're at it with goal line technology, they should introduce a 5th referee in the stands like in rugby, who has a computer and confirm/change all the ref's decisions. I'm sick of seeing rubbish referees, as is every single person in football.
