(And I don’t see why we don’t have “goal line tech” around the whole pitch, tbh)
Because it takes 15 cameras and $250K per match to run the GOAL line tech, increase the cost sigificantly and cameras to have that technology around the whole pitch…
No, that’s not how much it costs to do, that’s how much the prem would be charged to do it. Fifa or the FA could absolutely work towards making a FAR more affordable option but that wouldn’t be good business would it?
That said, we were told the clubs decided against fully automated offside because of the price but it’s used in European matches (I think?) so half the clubs probably have it anyway
Would be a lot cheaper to just put a camera facing down the line and let VAR quickly review whether the ball was out of it’s a goal. Just need cameras in the right places

Well, that would be a reason right enough!

All they need to do is some math, and make a second line where if it is past that point, the ball is out.

It costs $250k to install, and then about $4k per game.
Whoever the fuck is charging 250k per game needs shooting. As do whoever agreed to pay that.
Surely there’s more than 1 company doing this stuff in 2023 no?
