Goal Line Technology For the Football League

Last updated : 04 February 2014 By Bournemouth Co-Ordinator

With goal line technolgy now established in the Premiership, there's now a debate about whether the technology should be extended to the Football League, especially with the arguements relating to the controversial goal scored by Leicester City at Dean Court.

Cherries keeper, Lee Camp, is quoted in the Bournemouth Evening Echo as saying: "If they could bring it in and it was effective then I would be all for it because goals change games. I am a bit of a traditionalist and these things do tend to even themselves out. We don’t want the game to be too robotic but it would have been nice if it had been in today because at least we would have known one way or the other. I know there are financial aspects to consider and it is not for me to decide but it would be nice, if it could be decisive. It was very close and my gut reaction was that it wasn’t over. I have seen it again on the video and it is unclear. The most important person thought it was and it was a brave decision. If he believed it was a goal then fair play to him. He must have been sure and Kevin Phillips seemed to think it was in as well. I thought I had slowed it down enough and Elliott Ward had got round to clear it. But momentum and luck are with them and that is why they are where they are. We can make excuses but he had a free header at the back post and it was a disappointing goal to concede from our point of view".
