Sturridge’s handball goal proves need for technology that would actually be useful


The Premier League has enthusiastically embraced goal-line technology this season. Never again will there be a goal disallowed - or a phantom goal given - for a ball incorrectly judged to be crossing or not crossing the line.
Trouble is, those sorts of decisions are only really relevant a couple of times a season. It's unusual enough for balls to bounce down onto the line as it is, but incredibly rare for those instances to be the difference between winning and losing. The hoopla surrounding the technology is little short of a joke.  And an incident from Liverpool's clash with Sunderland on Sunday afternoon only served to highlight why the newly-ushered in technology is woefully short of what is actually required.
U say? How e take do am?
