\"Goal-line Goal-line technology will hopefully eradicate mistakes by officials<\/span> <\/p>\n

Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore is hopeful goal-line technology could be introduced in time for the 2012-13 season.<\/p>\n

World governing body Fifa has so far resisted calls for technology but now appears ready to change its attitude.<\/p>\n

Scudamore told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Sportsweek programme: “We’d like it now, and the good news is Fifa is now prepared to listen.<\/p>\n

“We feel the technology is there, we should be able to use it.”<\/p>\n

Fifa’s argument aganst technology has been that is feels football should be the same at all levels from park football to the World Cup.<\/p>\n

But with high-profile errors costing teams at the highest level of the sport – Frank Lampard’s shot which crossed the line but was not given as a goal when England lost to Germany in last year’s World Cup is a recent example – many feel the use of technology is long overdue.<\/p>\n

Scudamore added: “It’s gone on far too long, it’s an embarrassment to us as football administrators.<\/p>\n

“It’s just a question of how we can persuade Fifa it can be done.<\/p>\n

“I would like to have it the season after next – next season is too early but certainly the season after next, I don’t see any reason why we shouldn’t.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
