Goal-line technology and reviews

[Fingringhoe]

Happy to be a dinosaur. The game needs to be left alone. Goal line technology maybe, but nothing else. What constitutes a big decision? Every kick of the ball plays its part in the game. As has been said so many times before, at some point during the season a poor decision will go our way and we'll gladly accept it.

How long would you give officials to review video Parky? The pace of the game would be very different and more and more decisions would be challenged. A slippery slope.

They need to sort it out this could cost us in the long run

First chelsea now today were not having much luck

This. How we didn't get a draw - let alone win - at Chelsea still irks me greatly.... and now today.

Having said that, I thought Marriner had a very good game today and even watching live on the telly, it took the second slo-mo to spot the hand..... but Ba's celebration gave it away. Purely unintentional from him, it was a shit glancing header that hit his hand.

I have been in favour of using technology for years because the luck does not always even out.

So far we have been robbed of at least a point against Chelsea or possibly 3 and 2 today - so that is either 3 or 5 so far this season.

I await for refereing errors that give us 5 points in return - but I very much doubt it will happen this season.

Just review goals.

Wouldn't interrupt the game at all.

It's pathetic that the biggest game in the world doesn't use the technology when it's available.

If we score more goals then these decisions against us won't matter.

Is that goals that went in but shouldn't have been given, or goals that should've been given but weren't?

Once you start working through scenarios, it isn't nearly as simplistic as the pro-video evidence people think. I'll happily hear the OP's view on how video evidence could have been used today.

[Royal Rother]

All goals. Costs nothing and doesn't delay the game.

Exactly you review goals - not hard. Football is so far behind & needs to catch up.

Yup - same as rugby, ref simply asks "is there any reason I can't give it".....wouldn't hold up play a great deal for the vast majority of decisions.
If the technology (cameras) are there at the game, it seems ridiculous that irrefutable evidence cannot be used....

OK, so take a ball that may have crossed the line. The ball is cleared and the defending team are on the attack but are stopped in their tracks because the ref has stopped the game to review a video to see if it crossed the line. It didn't.

What do you do now? Start with a drop ball where play was stopped? Hardly fair on the team that were attacking, because the defending team have had an opportunity to re-group. This type of scenario is unworkable in football.

What about goals that might need to be given but then shouldn't be? Ref didn't give it, lino didn't give it, video shows it didn't cross the line...

Meanwhile, Reading could have gone up the other end and scored.

Eh?

Goal line technology stops that scenario in its tracks.

Sorry but disagree it's not unworkable. The secnario you describe is no different to players feigning injury when the other is on the attack & then the ball goes out of play & back to the keeper - as happened with us today. Tough titty deal with it. Football will be a better game with technology - too much is at stake these days.

You want an ice-hockey-style HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK?

[creative_username_1]

Test it out somewhere and see if the positives outweigh the negatives

I'm not really in favour of it

Scoring goals doesn't appear to be a problem for us; it's conceding them that is the biggest concern.

[Royal Rother]

Albert, a honk, a whistle, a firework - anything that signals the correct decision would be fine with me.
