Any comments?

Were FIFA right to vote to approve this new technology?

Has football changed for ever?

Absolutely. Fools like Blatter have held it up for far too long.

Hooray, hooray & one more time hooray. Finally, Blatter got it going despite the French Platini being against it.
How come, these Frenchies are so backwards ?

Lets be honest here, the only reason it is now going ahead is because England benefited from a decision in the Euros!

Blatter is a joke and should have been replaced a long time ago

Lets not forget mate that Ukraine goal should never have been allowed anyway as they were clearly off side in the build up play.

I agree with you though about Septic Bladder.

Its about time, quicker comes in the better

Yes i totally agree, everyone including our own media decided to ignore that point. But the fact that it happened against Germany in the World Cup and nothing was done and then as soon as there was an issue and England were on the right end of it the next morning he is all over the papers and sports website saying it has to be done!

Crazy situation, I wish the premier league didn't have to adhere to all FIFA rules and had more say over situations like this!

What concerns me though is will this so called technology notice if a goal was offside never mind if the ball crossed the line or not?

Its not for offsides its purely to see if the ball crossed the line which is most important

Well this is it. I really don't understand why they can't use the same system as rugby league. If a referee feels there may have been any wrong doing throughout and leading up to the goal why can't he go to a video ref to check for infringement?

We are not asking for it to be all over the pitch, i think goals and penalties would be enough. We don't want to take all the controversy out the game do we

I know mate but what if a player is off side before the goal line incident? - will that be taken into consideration?

Nope not if the official has not caught it.

I think this is a great resolution! I wonder why we had wait so far to take this decision. We have tecnology, profit by it!
However i really don't know why, a big player like Platini, was opposed: what is he thinking?

In my opinion the idea of goal-line system is very helpful and fortunately FIFA has taken the right measures to introduce it into the life. I can't get some opinion like "making the football too modern and technological". It will not disturb players and fans in watching the matches. While we will be always sure if the goal should be given or not.

It's always better to choose new technology in football, technology judge better than human.

its going to be a complete waste of money. how many times a year will they have to use it. probably less than ten times in every league. they should just use a video referee. they already have the cameras in place. eventually were going to be going there anyway when the dinosaurs from fifa are replaced by younger forward thinking people. we should be already looking at using video refs for offsides

What about the Semi Final were numerous camera angles were shown and we still didnt know if the ball went in with any great certainty?

another one blinded by the anti-Blatter/anti-FIFA bandwagon.

Blatter gave the go-ahead for goal line technology YEARS ago. it has taken this long for the technology to be prepared, tendered, tested and verified.

something that you may find interesting was that FIFA/Blatter agreed for it to be introduced in October 2010 - mere months after the Germans got lucky with England's goal which flies in the face of your wild FIFA anti-English theories.

I see you havent got any better since you been away

Blatter said: "That [Lampard goal] was the moment for me to say, 'You can't afford for something similar to happen in the next World Cup'.
Blatter continued: "In the autumn of 2010, we started tests and now we are ready. I am a happy man that we did it. The objective is for 2014 but now we have a system which is available for others."

thanks for confirming what i said.
