Football: Fifa President Wants Goal Technology for 2007

From: BBC

Quote:
Fifa president Sepp Blatter expects to have some kind of goal-line technology in place by next year's World Club Championship in Tokyo.

The chief of football's world governing body said it would either be a system with a chip-embedded ball triggering a sensor, or using a goal-line camera.

"I am sure that at the end of 2007 when we play the World Club Cup then we will have goal-line technology," he said.

"But we will not have video technology and stop the game."

Speaking at the Soccerex football finance seminar in Dubai, Blatter explained that football matches did not have time to constantly stop a video recorded to re-examine refereeing decisions while a game was in progress. Whether a ball has crossed the line has been a source of controversy in many big football games, ever since Geoff Hurst's strike in the 1966 World Cup final.

But Blatter, whose presidency ends next spring, added: "We have to keep to keep the human factor and that includes refereeing error."


The Fifa president also took a swipe at Europe's big wealthy clubs for reducing the level of competition in football by hogging the sport's talent.


"There is kind of like a traffic jam of players in Europe," he said.

"The big clubs with a lot of money they can afford to buy players - a lot of players, and the best players - and they have 25-30 players in their list.

"But football, association football is played by 11 players. What are the others doing? Waiting? Recuperating?


"They cannot play, all of them cannot play. Already in Europe now there are teams who, after a third of the competition, cannot win (the title).


"If that level of competition is missing, then there is something wrong with our sport and we have to tackle it."


Well this discussion has been ongoing for a number of years now and personally i'd be all for it if it helped with big decisions during a match.

Only problem i'd see is they would have to introduce it to every level of football and not just the top levels around the world.

And just remember that Rugby & Cricket have had technology used in those sports for years and those sports are still entertaining to watch.

And the game would be stop-start, and also a yellow/red card is always down to opinion, some referees would send players off for a tackle snad other refs wouldnt, its impossible to do this
