Think the closest we will see to this is Tony sat on't crossbar with a Polaroid
It will come. It may be expensive now but will be cheap as chips in a few years time.
like all technology its expensive at first then drops like a stone. i know i purchased a dvd player when they first come out.
no doubt about that, but i reckon i'll be gone by the time that occurs.
many see football as a real cash cow.
It will reach League 2 around the time hell freezes over !
Better get your long johns out, it may be sooner than we think.
Aren't Morecambe FC in that 'Hell' zone at the moment?
They trialed the full monty version of that technology system at a wellington Phoenix v some chinese team in a mid season friendly here last week. It was used the once only to determine a penalty shout and the video ref gave it. The 'nix converted it and won 1-0. All hell broke loose on Radio Sport and the press next day as everyone else thought 'No penalty'. I hope like hell that the dam system never enters the game-except maybe for the goal line part. Don't want the greatest reason to be alive turn into the shambles that test cricket and NRL have become because of technology.
problem is kiwi once its there you,ll never get rid of it no matter what we think. apart from goal line thing a lot of it especially in the sports you mention is probebly there for the armchair fan and not for anyone who goes to games. think rugby league is a shambles because of the length of time the game is stretched out due to it.
Footie at League 2 level doesn't need a phalanx of cameras and catch-all applications like Hawkeye.
Did the ball cross the line between the posts is what's most at issue.
Some kind of sensor built into the goal posts and a tiny device to set them off, embedded into the balls, is what's needed.
Shops have had something along those lines for years.
