Good enough for FIFA, but not for the GAA. That’s the situation with the Hawk-Eye goal line technology. The GAA has been trialing Hawk-Eye this year, but there were problems with the wind shaking the goalpost at Croke Park. No such problems in soccer and FIFA will introduce Hawk-Eye and another system called GoalfRef at their World club championship in Japan in December. The technology will then be extended to next year’s Confederation Cup and to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Meanwhile the GAA is still hopeful of having a further Hawk-Eye trial at Croke Park in August.
