Shit, nobody try and do custom firmware on your ball trackers.

Couldn't find a shorter one. Just pause after 2 seconds i guess.
Hawk-Eye is brilliant, especially in cricket. In cricket, in which there are more potentially critical decisions then in football it has made the game completely fair, and nobody spends hours on radio sports shows complaining about decisions made by the umpires. Football needs Hawk-Eye so badly, but it also needs a video referee, again like in cricket, because referees have come under more and more pressure in recent times, because of critical decisions which are completely wrong. Michel Platini can stuff his goaline referees up his ass, Hawk-Eye all the way.

And if you don't know what Hawk-Eye is

Players in cricket can now call for "reviews" of umpirical (?) decisions as well now, in which the Hawk-Eye prediction is often a large factor when reviewing an LBW (when the ball hits the player's pads and would have otherwise gone onto hit the stumps, he is out).

Oh yeah, and here's a discussion on how it could be used in football, and why it isn't.
