It's only a trial, but we know that if FIFA want it, it will happen.
Is it a good thing that will improve the 'spectator' sport, or yet another improvement that causes frustration and slows the game down?
Is football now entering the stage where everything needs to be closely scrutinised, double checked and verified by independent officials . . . how long before referees and linesmen are redundant, and everything is decided by computers?

It's bull shit and turns me off the game, you get the hard of thinking parroting off side is off side without stopping to think what off side is actually for, it's not because someone's arm or foot is an inch ahead of a defender, it's to stop an unfair advantage being gained
