Video technology is something I’d agree with, but only to see if the ball crossed the line, as football is not as stop-start as rugby or cricket.
Whatever happened to the chip in the ball technology. I agree that any technology, new or taken from other sports, should only be used to decide if a goal really is a goal or not. With the amount of stoppages in football nowadays it wouldn’t disrupt the game too much.[/quote]
put a electronic chip in the ball so when it crosses the goal line it beeps in the linesman or refs ear, they are already wearing headsets so the game wouldnt have to stop at all[/quote]The technology is there. A system has been developed to alert the officials in no more time than it takes for the linesman to raise his flag for a decision for example. FIFA simply don’t want to bring technology into the game.
As for that under 21’s team, i don’t think its loaded with talent really. The England under 17’s have just won the Euro’s only a few weeks ago, that’s what we should be paying close attention to, enhancing their development.
i fear i will never see england win a major tournament .
untill there is a complete reform of the english game the national side will never compete. the domestic game is too powerfull
it needs something like what the ECB did , removing the cream of english cricket from the control of the counties , taking complete control of what the top 1% do , when they play , train , rest etc
this will never happen though due to the obscene amounts of money sloshing around in the PL .
it is slowly killing football
take rooneys reaction to the fans , that just proved how far detached a little runt like him has become from the average fans

There’s so much that needs looking at it probably isnt worth going into it all. Money is the main issue, as it is with the majority of problems in football.
Im not sure whether its entirely possible to take cricket’s approach as the game works differently there. Im a fan of not necessarily putting a limit on foreigners, but id like to see a minimum of 3 English players in every starting 11. Although going back to the money issue, i doubt any Premier League clubs would agree. I also think wasting 6 million on a manager is a disgrace when even half of that could be put into youth development.
“The technology is there. A system has been developed to alert the officials in no more time than it takes for the linesman to raise his flag for a decision for example. FIFA simply don’t want to bring technology into the game.”
FIFA won’t sanction the technology because it would put a stop to – how should I say – creative officiating. Cheating in other words.
There’s a conspiracy theory for you….!
and quotas cant work under EEC law.You can’t limit the amount of EEC nationals that a club employs, but I think you could limit non EEC players.
The new government is already pushing ahead with its immigration plans to restrict the amount of non EEC migrant workers that can enter this country.
They are also tightening up the visa system to make it harder for foreigners to enter the country.
Whether this will affect sports stars remains to be seen.That aside,the FA could surely bring in a ruling on the amount of overseas players allowed on the pitch at any one time.
There is also enough money in the game for the FA/PL to start some kind of incentive scheme to reward clubs who field homegrown English players.
