There continues to be a debate on whether technology in football should be used. At the present time The Premier League is to test a Hawk-Eye system, which will determine if a ball crosses the goal-line or not which is being tested out in Readings academy. This is so referees can make the correct decision in matches which means 3 pts can be going to the correct team. However isn't referees making wrong decisions is what football is all about???
Other video technology which could be used and fifa are also considering is video technology simply for the referees so they can judge whether a foul was a penalty/free kick, whether a player should be cautioned or sent off for there foul, and whether the player is offside. This again would help referees make the right decisions and referees will not be the talking point of a top game. Rob Styles is an example of this in the Liverpool vs Chelsea game earlier this season. A wrong penalty award to Chelsea cost Liverpool the 3 points and gave him a suspension of one week not refereeing. However football is a free flowing game unlike rugby. wouldnt all this technology stop the flow to the game.
Whats your opinion on this??? Do we need technology in football? if yes, what technology do we need. if no, why do you feel we dont need technology in football???

interesting blog on the techonology in football, i think we should have some technology in football but if we have too much then as u mentioned it will disrupt the flow and also there wont be as much to talk about when mates talk bout football in pubs. the technology that we do have should be limited to just the hawkeye over the goal-line, too much will ruin the game.
I think we do need some goal line technology so games are not highlighted as a wrong a decision from a referee. too many points r being taken away from teams who deserved a win. also we need to do something about the diving, not sure how we can do that without disrupting the flow of the game tho
