There is a scene in the football, over which afterwards still for a long time discussed. This event decides sometimes on victory or defeat, in each case provides it however for violent discussions and diversities of opinion after the play. The speech is of it if the arbitrator in a fraction of one second in a tricky situation must decide whether the ball with the full extent behind the goal line was not - or evenly. On Saturday the district Derby took place: Borussia Dortmund against the fiber plastic Schalke 04. A play, to which the fans look forward the whole year and are so high with that safety precautions in the Dortmunder stadium as usual never, with which before a helicopter over the stadium roof already whistled for the start hours its circles pulls. In 75. Meet one another the two rivals came after 26 minutes to such a scene, as described at first: World gate hunter Lucas Barrios takes off from 18 meters, the ball is abgefälscht and slams to the lower edge of the slat - and jumps from there with full extent behind the line or not? Arbitrator Wolfgang strong let further-play, the television pictures seems in the right to give.

But such television pictures have evenly after momentary (assigned) technical conditions their borders. “Assigned” its reason, would finally be long present the necessary technology for a small gate camera has and it no more to such difficult decisions for the arbitrator bottom plate would come. Even the boss of the DFL as well as many coaches made themselves already strongly for the introduction of the gate camera. The problem thereby: the “Okay” of right at the top is missing still: FIFA and UEFA are against the gate camera. The reason thereby: One wants a uniform play way from the professional leagues to the amateurs.
