Apparently there's already very good tech that knows whether a ball is over the line. Liam Send a noteboard - 28/06/2010 11:35:50 AM
Also a post game suspension for floppers and liars (=fabiano). Harsher if the result of the flop was significant. But no cameras and flow interrupting technology. It ought to be technically possible to make a ball which can tell who was last on it, and an offside telling tech which works within a second.


It sits in the centre of the ball, without affecting the ball's performance, etc. There was a piece in...some newspaper...about how they had invested a pretty large amount of money into it after FIFA had previously said that they were seriously consider it when it was still in the planning stages. Unsurprisingly they were a bit miffed when FIFA later announced there would be absolutely no technology, despite not checking up on the progress of any of this and other projects.

I think there should be retribution for the atrocious World Cup refereeing Sidious - 28/06/2010 08:09:30 AM 1316 Views

I really don't think it would ruin the game Deadsy - 28/06/2010 09:33:02 AM 1098 Views
Perhaps it should be like cricket Sidious - 28/06/2010 10:15:41 AM 1111 Views
There are many red + yellow card decisions that are still unclear after checking TV footage, though ironclad - 28/06/2010 10:40:31 AM 1011 Views
Yes - but offsides might be tough Sidious - 28/06/2010 04:00:49 PM 1019 Views
Italy also had one ball that might have crossed the line *NM* Floffe - 28/06/2010 01:58:28 PM 479 Views

Should only be done for goals. The game already stops for goals, so it wouldnt ruin the flow *NM* The Count - 02/07/2010 01:24:29 AM 500 Views

Indeed. Germany played better overall, but were definitely on the back foot end of the first half. *NM* Liam - 28/06/2010 09:36:27 AM 478 Views

I wonder if that's really true Sidious - 28/06/2010 10:16:49 AM 961 Views
Technology? Bah. Platini's experiment would work well. jh - 28/06/2010 11:16:54 AM 992 Views

It'd be easy to implement, at least in the goal... jh - 28/06/2010 11:56:43 AM 1046 Views
I love how you include De Rossi's supposed dive... Dragonsoul - 28/06/2010 01:43:26 PM 950 Views
I don't think he deliberately left out any of the mistakes. callandor1000 - 28/06/2010 03:14:18 PM 1014 Views
If we are going to engage in the game of "may", then we should be fair . . . The Shrike - 28/06/2010 01:47:18 PM 1128 Views
The offsides rule should be changed - it should be like hockey..... trzaska2000 - 28/06/2010 07:42:35 PM 894 Views
Yeah, right. *NM* jh - 28/06/2010 09:25:42 PM 464 Views
