Howard Webb; supports the Goal line technology: The English ace football referee Howard Melton Webb has backed the idea of introducing the goal line technology. According to Webb the goal line technology will make the game of football much
more fair and less controversial.
The Englishman is one of the leading football referees of the world and is very well aware of the fact that sometimes referees wrong decisions regarding the goals might create a lot of frustration on and off the football field.
In a very recent interview Howard Webb told the media that the goal line technology will improve the game of football and will also help the referees to take the goal decisions a bit easily. Webb added that some of the referees are not favouring the idea
of the goal line technology but to him the technology will help the referees as well, while talking decisions about crucial goals in crucial matches.
It is important to mention that the role of referees has been thoroughly criticized by many critics as well as by the football fans during the recent times. Moreover the un-awarded shot of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 which dropped inside the goal line in the world cup
in the match of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904; added fuel to the fire. Now the crowd is expecting to see some new rules by FIFA.
Currently the world football association is working over the matter and will present its report to FIFA in March after testing numerous goal line technologies. Despite of the recent controversial and wrong decision of referees in the world cup match, most
of the football referees of the world and FIFA officials are against the idea of introducing new rules to the game.
According to Michel Platini the goal line technology will minimize the role of referee during a match and it will give a video game effect to the real game of football. But Melton Webb thinks a bit differently. Webb said that the real aim of a footballer
to score more and more goals in a match to outclass the rival team and a wrong decision of a referee might change the whole story of a football tournament. The thirty nine year old added that the goal line technology will support the umpires during a match
and it will be more reliable than a man’s eye.
Howard Webb is one of the most respected referees of the world of football and his views cannot be ignored. Moreover the keen observation of Melton is also a proof of his strong relationship with the world of football.
Webb knows that introducing the goal line technology suddenly is not at all easy but it should be introduced in the club level football events. While talking about the matter Howard said that it is very difficult to change the laws of the game but something
has to be done now or never. He continued that the new technologies will not at all halter the beauty of the game and the technology will make the game player friendly.
Webb said that many other sports have clinched different types of technologies to minimize the chances of mistakes in a match and now the FIFA should take ample steps to make the game of football more friendly and fair.
The goal technology will not only help the players but it will also help the umpires to take decisions easily during a match. Football is one of the most favourite sports of the world and wrong decisions by a referee might create a lot of stress for the
football loving fans. As a fan of this great game we can only hope to see more constructive changes in the laws of the game so that this game gets a bit more fair and friendly.
