    The Premier League has voted to introduce goal-line technology from the 2013-14 season.
    British-based Hawk-Eye has been awarded the contract to provide the system.
    Hawk-Eye uses seven cameras per goal to detect the ball and claims its system is "millimetre accurate, ensuring no broadcast replays could disprove the decision".
    The Football Association will install a system at Wembley Stadium in time for the August's Community Shield.
    Top-flight clubs voted to adopt the system during a meeting of the 20 Premier League chairmen on Thursday.

    It won't be a problem at the Brit for one half per match. If it were portable, be even better.

    Although we could use a 'Hawkeye' to see our midfield.

    'We seek them here, we seek seek them there,
    We seek our midfield everywhere!!!

    By the way, there is a new first sentence in The Tale of Two Cities;

    It was the worst of times and the worst of times...

    I hope to God that Peter Coates was awake when he cast his vote.

    We're the lowest scorers in the football league, let's donate ours to a more attack minded club.

    I hope they allow TV channels access to the feeds so they can do the proper 3D analysis, that'd be pretty cool.
