Bah humbug - to turn off the snow, visit your preferences and select a style that isn't Christmas.

I prefer football as it is. I was against goal line technology aswell..
I think it will enhance the experience once we all get used to it, will add to the panto side of things and at the end of the day if it makes things more fair then surely it can't be bad,there is so much money at stake these days.
The biggest benefit for me would be the ex RS. Pundits on MOM would have less to talk about.

Why?! Goal-line technology hasn't changed the flow of the game in any way. All it has done is made sure teams are correctly awarded or disallowed goals.
You're looking at is as though it will only give more goals that otherwise wouldn't have been given.
The VR can also rule out goals that would have been incorrectly given by the ref.
..as this is the Everton thread, I think it will benefit Everton more than some other teams.

...and also add half an hour to the game time......

Pineapple is a good on pizza but chicken is a no!
Would not add any time to game as it is simply stopped and go back to awarding free kick at point of incident.

I take the point on fairness. But why should we ordinary fans be concerned for those wealthy individuals who have put their money into the game? I don't give if a toss if a poor decision ends up costing Abromavich. Nor for that matter if it hurts a club backed to the hilt by sponsors. So what? We all seem to have forgotten that football is a sport. Sports provide the rough with the smooth. We get emotionally attached to it. But surely none of us get depressed when financial backers get a financial hit.
Football grew over a century and more without worrying about the money involved. And there's no need to be worrying about it now to the extent that there is serious consideration being given to video replays. If individuals/companies etc want to risk putting their money into football then so be it, let them take that risk -- but let's not be making radical changes as a reaction to their potential losses.
Surely it's got to be bad news for the diving, cheating RS?
It was part of football i thought just leave everything as it was.

A lot of things were once 'part of football' but no longer are. The game and the technology in it has evolved and generally for the better. I cannot for the life of me think why goal-line technology can be seen as anything other than a positive.
Which of these would make you happier?
1) Drawing a game where the ball is incorrectly given as over the line by the ref in favour of the opposition.
2) Winning a game after GLT is used to correctly rule out a goal that hadn't crossed the line.
Technology is a good leveller in the sport. Teams like ours will benefit from it the most. The bigger teams will lose one of their unfair advantages.
They use it in the A league Australia. Second season now i think, adds a few extra mins at injury time.
Every goal is checked and the refs rarely call for it during the game.

Genuinely would of rather left it. If we score and its past the line and the goal wasn't given then so be it. I had to deal with it as it was part of the game. In the end football won't be anywhere near as good if everything is correct. Atleast swerve this video replay stuff
Really really really don't want it. Football shouldn't be so forensic, it's not a complicated game.
