Goal-line technology set to be adopted


The Football Association expects goal-line technology (GLT) to be adopted by Premier League clubs this week.

Premier League clubs meet on Thursday with GLT set to be agreed for next season, while the FA wishes to install the technology at Wembley.

"I always thought it was an ideal piece of technology to allow into the game," said FA general secretary Alex Horne.

While this is now merely a formality, it’s nice to see football finally joining every other sport and adopting this technology.

Some, mostly ex-players, have said that this is a bad idea because if you introduce it where do you stop, blah, blah, blah.

I would urge them to pull their head out of the sand, open their eyes and realise that GLT will actually improve the game no-end.  

Just look at how it enhances the atmosphere in Rugby and Tennis, it works well for those sports and I think it will work well for football, roll on next season.
