Question Number: 13213

Character, Attitude and Control 6/28/2006

RE: competitive High School

karlz of cumberland, ri usa asks...

how do you personally feel about the idea of FIFA about placing sensors in the goal nets for determination of a goal?

i've been wachin soccer for all my life, im 16 and i am very knowledgeable about football, or how it is called over here soccer. I believe that we are all humans and we all make mistakes, a referee is also a human and he or she can also make a mistake.
please answer my question
thank you for your time

Answer provided by Referee Ben Mueller

I have no problem with it, but am not advocating it either. I guess I have no strong feeling for it either way.

Answer provided by Referee Chuck Fleischer

When the sensors are not activated by a player, can not be interfered with from an outside source, are 100% reliable and instant in their activation then I must admit it will be a good thing. That assumes every field has them, of course.

Regards,
