why can there just be a siren which sounds when the whole of the ball crosses the line?
This would save the problem of interrupting the game.

Might be annoying during warm up, or the odd time when someone is offside and still shoots.

this is used in hockey but I see faults with that what happens if a player crosses the line?
then your going to say put a microchip in the ball, the ball gets kicked and the micro chip will get damaged

mmm.. It took ze Germans 44 years to even things out.. So WC 2030 England will knock Argentina out of the world cup with a "hand of god" goal..!!

Might as well compare the goals. Both were clearly over the line too.

I thought they were going to use extra linesmen this WC to stand behind the goal or there abouts? I'm sure they trialled it somewhere recently.

yep.. I think they both were..

lol at the sweaties, paddys and other bitter fans harping on about "justice" for 66' LOL.

it's not even that similar, england went on to score again against german in 66' and replays and modern technology suggests it probably did cross the line anyway so how can it be 'justice'? even if the 66' goal was disallowed we still scored again, germany didn't, it wasn't as though the krouts had had a goal disallowed to prevent them equalising thus changing the course of the game just as it did last night.

for the record i think we'd still have gotten beat yesterday and i refuse to defend a terrible team who were outclassed but...justice for 66'? lol what a load of bitter wankness.

i don't think a tennis style siren would work at all.
it's far easier to simply have a 4th official watching the replay and within 30 seconds can indicate the correct decision via microphone.

Do you have an on/off switch?

Is there anything that doesn't get you going? I am not the slightest bit bitter, its called banter. If it was Ireland, Scotland or Wales you'd likely be taking part in the slagging.

Take a chill pill, get a cup of coffee count to 10 and stop being a t**t.

its true its Karma end of its like Ireland got knocked out because of a injustice of a bad refereeing decision much the same way as Ireland scored a the most dubious penalty against georgia

True we did get a very dodgy penalty so maybe it was karma with the hand ball, and again maybe it was karma that France went to the WC and were a laughing stock.

Shit happens. I am quite sure the Germans will say it was karma that Fat Franks goal wasn't given. Unfortunately Sepp Blathering idiot probably doesn't give a damn and it still wont sway his decision not to implement some type of goal line technology.

I think it is time to call in the video evidence why its squits lol

Take the lemon out your arse mate! It's a wind up. Nothing more, nothing less. As for us "sweaties" being "bitter", read your post back again and tell me who's bitter? We've known since time began that we'll amount to very little in the grand scheme of all things football, bar the occassional brush with glory. However, we had our "delusions of grandeur" moment in Argentina in 1978 , much to everyone's amusement south of Hadrians . England fall into that trap every four years, much to OUR amusement. It's called sporting rivalry and we'll carry on giving as good as we get! You'll no doubt get plenty more opportunities to laugh at our expense. And what's more, I'll be here to face the music!

Fifa and Uefa = joke!
