Technology that says yes

The FA wants to use GLT for the first time in the Community Shield, which is scheduled to be played in mid-August. Horne told BBC Sport: "There are occasions [when GLT is needed] and we've seen them here at Wembley, we've seen them in World Cups, we've seen them 11 or 12 times in the Premier League this season alone. "So technology that says 'yes, the ball has crossed the line' and lets the referee know makes an awful lot of sense to me. Play media How Fifa's goal-line technology will work "Particularly where it's a knock-out situation, incorrect decisions have less opportunity to even themselves out over a season." GLT will also be used in next season's FA Cup, from the third round onwards in any stadium fitted with the system, and Horne sees the technology as a way for the world's oldest knockout competition to keep pace with a football landscape that has changed beyond recognition since the foundation of the Premier League in 1992.
