question for fulham fans - re goal-line technology

[football_fan]

good morning gentlemen!

i am a tottenham fan but, i'm not here for banta, trolling or any other form of anti-board behaviour.

as this BBC report suggests, the use of photography to decide certain criteria of matches could be used in the coming 2012/13 season.

what's your take? cheers!

The Michael Jackson thing is because he only has one post.

[ClarksOriginal]

I'm in.

I voted yes. By the way, keep your hands of Dembélé or FoF is going to find you! After all, admins dispose of your IP now. We will hunt you down and, after you have invited us in for a cup of tea, we will have a sip, spit it out and walk out shouting it is undrinkable. Your shame will be unbearable! :)

...for it, 100%...

Goal line camera is a must. Cameras deciding anything else I am not so keen on.

cheers for the input mate.

i have been in contact with boards across europe with this question as it effects us all, reguadless of the team that you support. i will post the results as soon as they are ready.

at the moment, england's teams are more in favour of this move but, i am only about a 1/4 of the way through each league thus far.

anyway yeah, cheers for the input!

Let the 4th (or a 5th) official have all the technology available and leave him free to intervene whenever he likes or be consulted by the on field ref.

Let's get more decisions right and eliminate the howlers.

[football_fan]

ah, sorry lads. cheers everyone

My preference would be the 5 officials with regards to goal line decisions and also provides more angles on things such as penalty decisions. I would like the referee to use these officials more often as I don't think they are being used correctly. The referee should use the official closest to the action instead of always using the linesmen, and even consult with all 3 if necessary. I just don't like the stop start of video analysis and also as it has the potential to be used for too many things, eg review penalties decisions, off-sides etc and then players may ask for a referral system whereby they can suggest analysis for a referee's decision (eg incorrect red card, linesmans decision, penalty or free-kick decisions etc etc). In a really perverse way, I somewhat like that a match can be affected by the judgement/indecision of a referee. Dembele's red was completely frustrating but it was a decision made (and possibly a cause in use being knocked out of Europe) however it is a discussion point and the players felt aggrevied about it and corrected that by trying to kick lumps out of Nunez a few weeks later

Are you sure?  :58:

[finnster01]

I am more in favour of video technology than photography myself. But then we have always been a couple of steps ahead of you lot at WHL

[Burt]

Yes absolutely.

[HatterDon]

video and still photographs of good looking women at the matches would improve things. It would also be good to photograph the 315 officials at Europa League matches and see whether any of them are earning a living at any time during the 90 minutes.

Hope I've been helpful

While we'll at it, why not get a few snaps of Kyle Walker on the ground with a football in his hands?

[football_fan]

cheers for the input guys. you have been really helpful! the poll is nearly completed so the results should be up by next weekend.

good luck this season!

Interesting read. I voted yes, though I'm still a stick-in-the-mud about keeping the game original.

The idea that the cameras can make decisions in 1 second and relay that to the ref via a watch signal is intriguing as well as overcoming the human-factor problem (whether it be a fifth official or (as in rugby) the video ref, as the game cannot be permitted to continue if a goal was, in fact, scored, but we don't want to stop the game every time there is a goal claim (the red poo team would have a field day).
