Goal line technology


To be frank, I do not understand why Goal Line Technology (GLT) is taking such a long time to sort out. The reason there is such a demand for GLT is because we actually already have GLT. The reason we know that Lamps’ 'ghost' goal against Germany in 2010 was in was because of the GLT we have been using for several years – TV camera and action replays. TV crews are at every Premier League match and pundits waffle on an on doing graphics over perfectly adequate clips in the highlight shows.

In any case, whatever system is adopted, Goal Line Technology should be collectively known as Lampard. In future, when there is a dispute during a match, the referee will stop the game and have a quick word into his microphone and instruct the fourth official to take a look at the Lampard. League matches will have the Standard Lampard. For poor visibility the enhancements of the Fog Lampard system will compensate. In anticipation of this I have just added Lampard to my Word user dictionary.
