League to back Hawk-Eye technology in goal-line decisions

PREMIER League chiefs will urge the sport’s rule-makers this weekend to consider using video technology pioneered by Hawk-Eye to end uncertainty over goal-line decisions.

Hawk-Eye systems are used to judge dubious line calls in tennis, and also in television coverage of international cricket.

Referees’ chief, Keith Hackett, and Premier League general secretary, Mike Foster, will present proposals to the International FA Board meeting in Manchester tomorrow.
