Goal-line tech might be experimented with in the EPL this coming season

The goal-line tech debate was reignited with the incident in the England - Ukraine match in the Euros and now it seems FIFA has finally agreed to take the issue seriously. We might see the technology being tried out in some matches in the EPL this coming season. If all goes well, the technology could feature in the 2014 World Cup and every important tournament thereafter.

Hawk-Eye(the same tech used in Tennis and Cricket) and GoalRef are two technologies currently available that can help in making goal-line decisions and the EPL is reportedly keen to sign up for one or both of these technologies.

Here's a video showing how they will work.

Personally, till now I was against using goal-line tech since I believed it would slow down the pace of the game and football should be non-stop and free-flowing. But now considering how fast these two technologies are (both take just a second which is in line with FIFA's requirements), I must say the game needs it.

I'm against any thing being placed inside the ball. It can alter everything for players.
