So they added this in, and it has been going pretty well.
I'm about to give a debate on why it should be added here in Belgium and I would like your help.

Could you think about reasons why it SHOULDN'T be added here? If so please post them so I can prepare myself.

The reason that it would be too expensive is already handled.

Thanks!

refs don't like being questioned by technology

-It "could ruin the flow of the game"
-It could undermine the decision making of referees
-Is it really necessary? There are at most a handful of decisions that actually could possibly require goal line technology (in so that they were called incorrectly), so would the cost be worth it?
-Introducing technology could be a slippery slope, at what point do we go to instant replays for missed offside calls or fouls? How would we rectify this?

Just off the top of my head, good luck with your debate main man mill

Noted, thanks!



Some good questions, noted!

Cheers mate

I fucking love it tbh.

Don't get how it's taken this long to implement.

a ref behind the goal should do

It's not 100% infallible. (I know it's way less fallible than the human eye, but that's still something someone might complain about).

If the ref sees he made a bad call then he might feel a greater pressure and make further bad calls, this time involving situations where there is no technology to correct him.

gl with the debate m8

Arguments I predict will be used against it are:

It's a gateway to other decision challenges which are far more impactful on results and occur more regularly than goal line decisions.

Why should goal line reviews be given the green light and not penalty reviews / offside goal reviews which decide more outcomes?

It's a slippery slope and just an appeasement for fans, it's a safe starting point because it happens so rarely, but, is it a starting point? and what does it lead to?

I'm not arguing against goal line technology, I like it and think it can be done quicker than a referee video review of an offside or penalty decision, but think about your own team you support, how many goals were incorrectly given against you from shots that didn't cross the line in the last 10 years? now how many offside or penalty decisions cost you points? how many league championships and tournaments were altered by goal line decisions compared to off sides/penalties? If the aim is to correct results, is this the best way to start? is it a 'start' that will evolve? when you say goal-line 'technology', will this technology or review system be applicable to offsides? and will this then descend into a interrupted sport with less flow?

i thought a bit and couldnt find a single reason why anyone would be against it

except some traditionalists who think that bad calls are part of the game and it should stay that way
