Alternative to goal line technology

[JordanianEmbassy]

Just had an idea in the office to solve the problem of disputed goals.. much better than current goal line technology that uses cameras/sensors etc.

Have a hole behind the goal line that the ball would drop into (like in table football). A conveyor belt would then transport the ball under the pitch and it would pop back out by the dugouts.

Would also make it more exciting if the goalkeeper accidently stepped back and fell into the hole as he would then have to sprint back from the half way line to get back in position.

Or he broke his ankle.

As long as the keeper has to wear a flat cap I'm down with this. Also our new ground will look fantakka with big spinny handles sticking out of both sides.

Line the goal with wasp nests.

This would also keep players from taking off their shirts after goals.

Have a 20,000 mile 90-degree angle drop (from the goal line to Australia) immediately after the line. Not only would be increase awareness of the sport in Australia, but it would also be funny if a goalkeeper accidentally fell down the drop and had to fly back from Adelaide.

I think we should scrap scoring and the winner is decided by interpretive dance.

Instead of a net, have a big wall covered in super glue exactly a balls width inside the goal. If the ball sticks to the wall, then it's a goal. Job done.

Could we add a device that custard pies the goalkeeper when a goal is scored.
