Apparently there's already very good tech that knows whether a ball is over the line. Liam Send a noteboard - 28/06/2010 11:35:50 AM
Also a post game suspension for floppers and liars (=fabiano). Harsher if the result of the flop was significant. But no cameras and flow interrupting technology. It ought to be technically possible to make a ball which can tell who was last on it, and an offside telling tech which works within a second.


It sits in the centre of the ball, without affecting the ball's performance, etc. There was a piece in...some newspaper...about how they had invested a pretty large amount of money into it after FIFA had previously said that they were seriously consider it when it was still in the planning stages. Unsurprisingly they were a bit miffed when FIFA later announced there would be absolutely no technology, despite not checking up on the progress of any of this and other projects.

There are many red + yellow card decisions that are still unclear after checking TV footage, though - 28/06/2010 10:40:31 AM 813 Views
Yes - but offsides might be tough - 28/06/2010 04:00:49 PM 799 Views

It'd be easy to implement, at least in the goal... - 28/06/2010 11:56:43 AM 825 Views
