    Football turns to technology
    By Mandeep Sanghera

    Standing on some scaffolding at a windy Reading training ground, the mastermind of Hawk-Eye is developing his system for use in football.

    Paul Hawkins, armed with a walkie-talkie, is conducting operations to come up with an infallible method of determining whether or not a ball has crossed the line.

    He has been contracted to do so by the Premier League and Hawkins is placing the emphasis on perfection rather than meeting a deadline.

    The inventor of a system used to resolve certain issues in both cricket and tennis has played down the notion that football will be utilising another Hawk-Eye development next season.

    "There is still a long way to go yet," he told BBC Sport.

    Great to see technology like this being tested. Anyone who's opposed to the possiblity of using technology like this in soccer is a moron ie. Steve Clarridge!
