If every decision was correct because of the use of technology I suspect a certain amount of the passion would go too. One of my joys, although no good for my blood pressure, is getting incensed about a wrongful decision.
It needs to be instant or not at all. Which in fairness, I think is what FIFA/UEFA/Premier League seem to be going for.
Also, I honestly cannot think of a time where there has been a shot where it has not been possible to tell from a replay a good indication of the balls whereabouts.

I've not said definite as the cameras haven't been set up for that purpose but if they were it would be a lot more accurate. Saying that though I do have a terrible memory so await to be proven wrong shortly!! :icon_lol:
... a lot of decisions are down to the ref's opinion about the intent of players making challenges
If someone made a decision based on seeing a replay it would still be about an opinion
Why does a referee need to know a player's intent when making a challenge?
In the NHL they have a camera vertically mounted over the goal and this seems to work adequately
1966 world cup final?
Tch, stop with your examples of American efficiency - this is Britain, and because this is Britain I want to see a system involving seventeen men (not women), flags, a series of signal fires on hilltops and Her Royal Highness Elizabeth the Second: Queen of Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. God bless her.
Using the example of the 30mph shot moving 20 inches per frame would mean that replays would be very jumpy but they never are. Just doesn't seem to add up!?!
Provided you include Cowell and Max Clifford in the 17 men you've got a winner.Tch, stop with your examples of American efficiency - this is Britain, and because this is Britain I want to see a system involving seventeen men (not women), flags, a series of signal fires on hilltops and Her Royal Highness Elizabeth the Second: Queen of Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.

Please don't stop mid sentence. Is it 'housing needs'? Or maybe 'wind'?Think the time, energy and money would be better off looking at other ways to assist referee's.
Perhaps a fire pit would be more appropriate. Keep feeding it with queens and it would become self perpetuating.There wouldn't be enough Queens to go around if you keep setting signal fires on top of her. I am happy to have a test run of this system though.
It is jumpy, but your brain fills in the gaps so it looks smooth.
If you have a PVR that allows you to skip from one frame to the next, have a look and see how far the ball can move.
The "super slowmo" cameras they sometimes use are better, but still nowhere near good enough for using on a goal line.
Do you watch cricket on TV?
If you do I'm sure you've seen several slow motion replays when they've tried to determine whether a fielder has caught the ball, or whether it hit the ground first. Sometimes it's impossible to tell because of the amount of movement between frames.
