Brentford FC give their thoughts on goal-line technology

Frank Lampard's World Cup goal that wasn't allowed may have changed Fifa's view of goal-line technology but it could be a while before that has any effect on Brentford FC.

The League One club are ninth in the table and are having a good season. The training ground is well kept with eight full-size pitches.

But the English FA says goal-line technology could be used in the Premier League only, at first, as early as next season.

Nine different systems are being tested at the moment to enable referees to tell with pinpoint accuracy whether a goal has cross the line but the law can't be changed unless football's world governing body Fifa agrees.

All this is a long way away from Griffin Park but players and management have told Newsbeat they want the FA's help to speed it up.

"I've got to admit I've seen the goal creep over the line several times and got away with it but it happens both ways.

"I can't believe this has taken so long. I can understand tradition but we've missed out so many times for England due to mistakes. It's worth a lot of money.

"I guess they'll be like plasma TVs. The price will actually come down and eventually we'll have one here."

Uwe Rösler, manager at Brentford FC

"This has taken too long to come in especially when you see what the Premier League has in terms of resources and the amount the players are paid.

"I think this will go down the leagues, this would be a massive investment for us it is not easy to put in place we need support from the FA and the Premier League.

"It's not easy for a club like this but it is necessary."

Karleigh Osborne, Brentford FC centre back

"It's something in place to help the game. Mistakes happen both ends and at this level it can mean people's jobs.

"It excites me though as it will make the game fairer and make the refs job easier.

"I think the funding will be an issue for the lower league clubs something needs to be worked out to bring it further down the football league and not just the Premier League."
