Goal line technology

I personally believe there should be goal line technology after relatively recent events. Some may argue this may take a bit of excitement out of the game due to the "uncertainty factor" but many goals having been given unfairly.

Perhaps one of the most humorous mistakes was when the former Manchester United goalkeeper Roy Carroll dropped the ball behind his line from the former Tottenham Hotspur player Pedro Mendes. I must admit this has to be one of the funniest goalkeeping errors in the history of the premiership.

Other goals that never happened include the goal Liverpool scored to knock Chelsea out of the champions league a couple seasons back. It could be argued that Liverpool deserved the goal in that match but nevertheless the ball never crossed the line.

There has been a number of discussions of the possibility of goal line technology coming into play and at one stage I think there was the possibility of a football that had a chip in it which could tell whether or not it crossed the line.

I think goal line technology would also ease the pressure on the linesman and referee and the results will be conclusive rather than "possibly" and "maybe".

I would be disappointed to see another team deprived of a goal which was perfectly reasonable or given a goal that wasn't. However if it's a team I support such as England thats given an unreasonable goal, I won't be complaining.
