Not sure I agree with it at a first glance. You've got two linesmen for the sole purpose of that sort of thing - do you really need goal-line technology too?
Prez is saying museums shouldnt have CCTV in rooms with valuable items because they have security guards as well
Worst metaphor. Anyway, basically what I'm saying is that goal-line technology is hardly ever going to be needed, I'd assume, and surely in those few cases the touch-refs will have it covered? It just seems like something that will break up play because refs will blow up any time the ball goes near the line.
Meh. I don't watch much footy, as I've admitted before. Just the thought of it theoretically seems a bit strange for soccer in comparison to a sport like cricket.
You assume? So much ignorance in these posts. Any football fan can name multiple examples of the officials getting it wrong off hand. The primary role of the touch judge is to check for offsides and then assist the referee with fouls. More often than not the touch judge will be on the line of the last defender so will have as much paralax error in his view as the referee. At best they're guessing. The only arguments against this afaic are: - cost - it will break the game up too much - or if you're a purest, it takes out the human element. Just saying: "nah linesmen got this" is so ignorant it's untrue.
Jesus christ. Just go and get some some basic knowledge about any part of this topic. Just a single part.
I'm normally one of these people, but not when its black and white whether its a goal or not I don't want technology for other decisions like free kicks, offsides etc
But that won't happen when we've got first phase/second phase/who's active/interfering with play etc So will have to change the offside rule
