    UEFA approves goal-line technology for use at Euro 2016

    UEFA says it will use goal-line technology at this year's European Championship, and in the Champions League from next season.

    The UEFA executive committee approved giving its referees more technical help at its top competitions. The decision did not commit UEFA to choosing a goal-line technology (GLT) provider.

    FIFA used the GoalControl system at the 2014 World Cup. The German company and Britain's Hawk-Eye system are widely used in European leagues.

    Although UEFA President Michel Platini has been a long-time opponent of GLT, he had shifted position for Euro 2016 in his native France before his ban by the FIFA ethics committee.

    Ridiculous that this was even a debate, given that GLT has been used successfully for nearly three years.

    The reason it was a debate was obvious.

    Someone gave Platini, amongst others, brown envelopes. What was in them I have no idea of course...

    Thankfully they are starting to see sense, it's a no brainer for me.

    They still have it, it should also be introduced in the Championship as well, it's ridiculous that there's a technology that works and we're just not using it.

    Particularly ridiculous for us, as we've got it but we're not allowed to turn it on.

    Moreso considering the late drama at Preston (even though we didn't deserve anything).
