Comments on: FIFA and UEFA: you are STILL killing us on the goal-line tech! http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2012/06/19/fifa-and-uefa-you-are-still-killing-us-on-the-goal-line-tech/ Sun, 26 May 2013 07:23:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Steve Davis http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/2012/06/19/fifa-and-uefa-you-are-still-killing-us-on-the-goal-line-tech/comment-page-1/#comment-2555 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 15:06:28 +0000 http://prosoccertalk.nbcsports.com/?p=67881#comment-2555 True, goal-line controversies are pretty rare. Best guess, it happens once every 30-40 games. So, it’s use as a potential time-waster really isn’t an argument against it. It would be impossible for teams to contrive to waste time while a “replay” of some sort is employed. Besides, most of the technology now in test mode wouldn’t necessarily require a “replay” element. We would be alerted instantly in the event of a goal.

One problem is that the ref would have to “play on” when the linesmans flag was up. Knowing when to blow the whistle and look under the replay hood might ne difficult to define. Also, challenges should not be allowed in the last 10mins or be used as a time-wasting device.

I cant stand time wasting or watching “injured” players pop up and get right into the game after coming off on a stretcher. Have some self respect. All teams should play a man short for 3-5 minutes unless a substitute for an actually injured player to come off.

In the situation that occurred today, having goal line technology would have actually led to a goal that should not have been a goal. That would have been an unjust result.

It’s an absolute shame this actually goes on with such a great sport.
