Fifa have decided to re-think their stance on goalline technology after the blunders at the World Cup in South Africa.
Zurich – Fifa say 13 different goalline technology systems are being considered to help match officials make more accurate decisions.
Fifa say all the project proposals were presented last week, and will be further discussed at an October 20 meeting of their rule-making panel, known as Ifab.
The panel is gathering in Newport, Wales, to help set the agenda for their annual meeting next March when the laws of football can be changed.
Fifa president Sepp Blatter reopened the debate on using technology to help match officials after a series of mistakes affected the World Cup in South Africa, and helped eliminate England and Mexico.
Blatter had previously resisted high-tech help for referees by insisting that human error was part of the game. – AP

For subjective decisions like fouls, handballs etc i agree the human factor must remain but for clear cut over the line or not technology should be used.

Of COURSE we need it! What would make soccer even more interesting is, oh, I don't know, CONSISTENCY in the refereeing decisions. After all, why on earth would you play a sport where the playing field isn't equal? Makes me shudder to think they've been sitting on this for so long. Shouldn't sports be won and lost on merit, not on whether the ref's having a bad day? How many fights have started between opposing teams' supporters because of incorrect decisions? Come on...
