ABBEY Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 The makers of GoalRef and Hawk-Eye goal-line technology have told Rangers they can't use the system next season. Apparently it doesn't work with goal posts made from jumpers

gumboots Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Thing that would worry me about goal line technology is that they are talking of introducing it halfway through the season - what if you have a dodgy goal given against you the week before it's introduced - either all season or not at all I'd have thought

ABBEY Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 wont affect us especially if numb nuts adopts the same tactics as at spurs.
Stuart Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Even more worrying is the ref can over rule it if he feels it was not a goal Kind of makes it pointless then, and suggests it may be prone to malfunction. Although it will be a brave referee who calls a marginal one - and gets it wrong!
AggyBlue Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Don't agree with using goal line technology, leave it to the ref.
gumboots Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 I don't mind but it's either all games in any league or division or not at all. To suggest it will be ready by Christmas is ridiculous
Salgado Is A Hero Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Don't agree with using goal line technology, leave it to the ref. I'm not too bothered either way but I'm leaning towards being against it. Whether the ball crossed the line or not is equally important as goals wrongly given as offside or wrongly given penalties imo. Things even themselves out over the course of the season and even though at the moment it's just goal line technology, I can envision in a few years players/managers appealing and everyone turning to a big screen to find out who's throw-in it is.
rigger Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 Personally I am in favour of introducing technology for wheather the ball has crossed the line or not. For most other decissions, introducing honesty, into the players would help.
Baz Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I thought the goal not given against England was telling. In the build up, a player was offside but the goal wasn't given. What happens in the same situation with goal line technology in place? I can only assume the goal is given, which would make the technology effectively give the wrong decision. If the technology is used, then surely it has to be used for the validity of the goal and build up to the goal, so that the correct decision is reached?

I think it was us against West Ham when they scored from a handball, offside and the ball didn't cross the line. Or something like that...Tevez was involved and I think Bowyer was as well.....if the ball had crossed the line and technology was used after the ref was unsure then there would have been massive controversy. The only solution would then be to use it for everything and play would be stopped all the time because you might as well challenge the decision.

If goal line technology had been in place then Jim Devine would have been spared a lot of abuse, as would his wife and family.
