Alexander LitvinenkoHoop Blah Personally I think Stuka makes a sound point on retaining the human element to the sport. The rights and wrongs, discussions and feeling for being hard done by is a massive part of being a football fan.
Agree with that completely - in terms of the stuff where it's subjective (offsides, handball, fouls, where you have to judge context and things like intent).
But for straightfoward line decisions where it';s just a "YES/NO -was it over the line?" I can see no reason not to use technology - just as long as the indication to the officials is instant and there are no delays.
^This.
I'm all for human error in sport (although DRS hasn't dumanised cricket to the extent I thought it would and indeed has shown just how consistently good the umpires are) - but any technology that can ensure near to 100% accuracy in an important decision like 'is it a goal?' should be welcomed.
