Goal Line Technology in Football

Or what Americans like me call soccer.  A brief comment on goal line technology for soccer.  Two arguments against: continuity and the element of human error.  To the former, the author points out we don't have to ruin continuity and it's good to not want to chop up the smoothness of the game.  To be fair (and soccer is my favorite sport, so I'm not making fun of the sport like your stereotypical American), not very many goals are scored...  To the latter, I say there's two kinds of human error: bad ones and ones that don't matter as much.  I think wanting to remove (the effects of) bad human error is a noble cause, and robbing people of goals/giving undeserving goals are bad human errors which should be removed from the game.
