FA 'willing to discuss' goal-line technology

The Football Association have indicated they would be willing to accept the introduction of goal-line technology to prevent mistakes such as the one that cost Tottenham victory at Old Trafford last night.

The failure of referee Mark Clattenburg or his assistant Robert Lewis to spot Roy Carroll dropping Pedro Mendes’ speculative 55-yard effort a yard over his line has led to another clamour for video technology to be introduced.
