So, hawk-eye being fitted... What will happen?

I reckon it's a great idea to use it but as has been said in the past, the ball may have crossed the line but why wasn't the obvious foul given 30 seconds before.
If you're going to use video referral then it should be the same as rugby imo. Not just to prove the ball crossed the line.

Agree with this, absolutely. If you're going to use video referral then it should be the same as rugby imo. Not just to prove the ball crossed the line.

Thinking about it, the FA could have just paid Sky for the use of the already existing monitors and saved themselves an absolute fortune.
They could, but they want instant so the game is not stop start, I presume? No need for reviews, etc. They simply are told when the ball crosses the line. 
I hope the technology proves to be a complete flop, and they drop it. Incorrect goal line decisions, when they go in your favour, and one of the great joys of the game. And when they go against you, they give you an excuse for the defeat you probably would have suffered anyway.
As proven by idiots who seriously think if Lampard's goal had stood, we would have beaten the Germans, completely overlooking the fact that they were 10 times better than us.

Was in Croke Park yesterday and it was used in the Hurling a few times. Obviously a ball travelling at that speed and that height (for points) can be hard to keep track of. Worked really well only took a few seconds and the big screen showed the actual ball trajectory. Excellent. Oh and Cork won, woooo wooooo get in there

I watched the game, the hawkeye technology looked completely Father Ted to me and I would imagine the soccer version will be quite a bit easier on the eye.Cracking game by the well, well done Cork.

Goal line isn't enough. Should be for all incidents involving a goal (offside reviews for example) and awarding penalties.
There is a system out there that can track all players, the ball, etc, and can say when there is an offside, and so on. I do wonder if it is possible to review stuff at the next break of play a bit like cricket or tennis? Would it spoil it? It hasn't spoiled the cricket, or the tennis. No I agree, I've not heard of that but if it's there it should be used. There is a natural break in play when a goal is scored, so in the time it takes to restart you very often know if it's offside or not, or has been stuck in by handball, or there's a blatant push, etc. So in real terms the restart wouldn't take any longer, would just be a goal kick rather than from the centre.
It works well in RL and RU, so I don't see why it shouldn't be used in footy.

What if the ref didn't give a goal and the play carries on for another 5 min before it goes out for a throw in?It works well in RL and RU, so I don't see why it shouldn't be used in footy.
I stand to be corrected but I think it's the first law of football that cannot be applied through the game from top to bottom. Personally I welcome it because a goal should only be given if the ball crosses the line and vice versa. There can be millions resting on these decisions, so it's overdue. Oh, and ManUre will hopefully not win the title this season as a result (although probably need off-pitch timing before that happens 
)
