Platinum Stars might have benefited from the lack of goal-line technology in snatching a 1-1 draw at Kaizer Chiefs on Wednesday but their coach Cavin Johnson said he was all for innovation being introduced to top-flight football in South Africa. “The modern game calls for that. They have goal-line officials already in the Champions League and they have been testing the technology recently."It’s up to the mother body but if they introduce that‚ then I’m all for it. It’s all about lifting the game up to the next level. As long as it doesn’t interfere within the four lines of the pitch‚” he said Ironically‚ the absence of any technology saw Stars awarded a dubious goal in the first half of their clash with Chiefs at Soccer City.Robert Ngambi’s thunderous shot was brilliantly tipped onto the underside of the crossbar by Itumeleng Khune and bounced down onto the line before the keeper caught it.But to the naked eye‚ it did not look to cross the line and television replays then showed conclusively that the ball had not.It seemed a strange decision‚ therefore‚ from referee Victor Hlungwani. The official had a front-on view of the shot and not from side-on‚ which would have been a lot clearer.His linesman Moses Phale did not immediately signal a goal either but the referee seemed emphatic in his conviction.“I don’t want it to sound like this is an excuse‚” added Chiefs coach Steve Komphela afterwards‚ “but this is a strong case to recommend that technology needs to be introduced.“Looking at the product of the PSL‚ the game has gone to a very high level which means we have to keep up with the international standards. It could save our jobs in the future‚” he joked. - TMG Digital..
