I don't want the game halted by some incident every 5 minutes, nor do I want a robot for a referee.This, I personally would not be in favour of any form of technology being introduced.

Kind of serious question.......Presumably the stuff is installed and calibrated for where the goals are now. What if we move them? I don't mean down the road or anything, but for example, weren't Stoke moving their goals for European games a couple of seasons ago? How can you guarantee you move it back to the exact same spot again? Do Hawkeye send technicians out to calibrate the system before every game?
And how are we to believe the calibration at Old Trafford?
About time for this. I think it will add a bit of extra fun to the day, as long as it never goes against us of course.Seriously, this is needed. With the amount of cash involved in relegation- Title winning etc there has to be no doubt if a goal is a goal or not. A good move forward.

Once money becomes the motivation then all hope for the game is lost. There are far more damaging elements in football than the extremely rare instances of whether or not the ball crossed the line. When's the last time there was one in one of our games? Struggling to think of one other than Les Sealey v Sheffield Wednesday and that was 20+ years ago though I'm surethere must be a more recent example.

I always thought when it came to pitches that there was a minimum and maximum limit and you could have anything within those.
