Looks like the good old goal line technology debate might be coming to an end...

I sometimes wonder what the average age of people who make the big decisions in sport is. As i have visions of a bunch of old stuck in the past fuds whining about any changes and so ultimately put back any technological advances by about 2-3 years.

good point...watched some of wimbledon yesterday as my mum loves it and nadal used one of his video queries on a vital point and it was judged in and proved him right.

Next followed lots of replays and Barker i think querying the whole system saying she thought it looked out and didnt see how on first looks anyone could think it was in (well clearly nadal was one and he was proved right even if it was by a small margin)

It would be great in football, the only worry I have is comments like i detailed above and how quickly someone can relay to a referee its a goal (we really dont want a situation where a ball is kicked off the line and is played up the field to be scored at the other end before someone says hang on a sec.

To solve this, maybe when the ball crosses the line a sound goes off, which alerts the ref/lino who'll be suitably wired up to immediately confirm a goal. This will insure that play can continue immediately if a goal isn't scored or stopped if it is.
