Not a fan of goal line technology then Rodders?
Gimmickry. Don't think it does much for the game and rarely used. Not that I think the rules are sacred, got two I'd love to implement, one would to allow a fourth substitute in extra-time and the other would be to implement a rule that already exists, if a player is shielding the ball from an opposition player but making no attempt to play the ball, it's an indirect free kick. Shepherding the ball out of play annoys the F**k out of me.
Technology when implemented correctly is great for the game. Referees in most sports seem to be getting poorer, technology is needed to ensure that the games are decided by the players and managers.
Much prefer too see more officials, 4 linesman and 2 referees, than technology. I'd love to see the FA use some of the money it uses on grass roots and junior football on trying to get referee courses a part of the PE curriculum for GCSE level.
