There is quite a strong rumour going around at present that FIFA intend to "experiment" in a League, at present unknown, and not sure if it is in England, where for a season they intend to introduce 2 goal line AR's in addition to the regular 2. I have heard this from more than one source now. Anyone else heard this at all? Is it going to be a waste? Are there "enough" goal line instances to warrant this? May just one incident is enough to justify? Where are the extra 2 coming from on a regular basis? A lot to consider for a radical move, but will the experiment work? Time will tell on all counts.
FIFA is constantly experimenting with new methods of officiating the game. This is just the most recent development they are going to try out.
To me, this doesn't seem like it would ever become law. Afterall, where's the money to pay for the 2 additional referees going to come from? This might be okay for the professional leagues, but for 99% of the soccer that's played it doesn't seem feasible.
While I agree that some leagues wont be able to afford this.........There certainly are many that would that are below the MLS level.....In fact I bet there are many leagues below MLS that have MORE money!
FIFA will use "goal judges" at CONCACAFS Womens Gold Cup and at the 2003 Confederations Cup. But no news on what they will actually do.
