Hawkins told BBC Five Live Sport: "We have a contract with the Premier League to develop a system.

"It is purely for the referees and not for television. The process is to be evaluated firstly by the Premier League and then Fifa.

No, No, No, Nooooooooooooooooooooo..... It will break up the flow of the game if it get's implemented properlly. Besides we will have nothing to talk about on a Monday morning. Mistakes are part of the game. I am against this... what do you think?

You cant reley on human error. Humans make mistakes, it shouldent cost a team. When goals are wrongly disalowed (Think Spurs against Man Utd a few seasons ago, the ball was about 3 foot over the line but the ref missed it) it gives the other team an unfair advantage.

Fuck breaking up play, if it makes it fair then im all for it.

Well I am all for this... as long as they don't go back and look at past events... you know what I'm talking about lol.

It gives every team that unfair advantagge as it could just as easily happen for them, human error as been in the game for 150 years why fuck about with the sport this much now

Because human error has fucked over a few too many team maybe?

Crocker · 07-08-2007, 07:22 PM

But its part and parcel of the game, human error also happens with the players aswell

Yes but isn't that the fun of it? At the end of the day, it's only a game of football.

To a lot of people it isn't just a game, as a wise man once said...

'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death.
I'm very disappointed with that attitude.
I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.'

Yes well they need to get lifes.... there are much more important things in life than weather the ball has crossed the line or not.

And also if this technology does come into use... it'll be us, the fans who have to fork out the money to install it at our clubs. Not the overpaid premadonas who play the game.

Disregarding one of the best British managers ever... I beleive he can't get a life any more seeing as he passed....
