    Will the 'beautiful game' be overrun by technology in the future?

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21505488

    Once it is let in, will it be like opening pandora's box? Managers getting 3 calls like in tennis?

    I am pleased goal line technology will be introduced but I wouldn't like the game to become more stop start in the future with more decisions coming into play using new technologies.

    What do you think?

    (P.S. yeah I can't spell goal but not sure how to change the title :( )

    Wonder when it will filter down to the lower echelons, or is it to be the preserve of International Competitions?

    As the game is now subjected to ever-increasing levels of media scrutiny, there is a general inability to accept that humans are only human, supporters all think that they know the rules inside out to a higher degree than match officials & managers and players alike think that they are mistake-free gods, then I suppose this was inevitable. Now that the day has arrived, I suspect that the slightly ajar door will soon be blown wide open.

    I fear that this will only spoil what was already a great product. :(
