Scummer Posted 10 March, 2012 Share Posted 10 March, 2012 (edited) I know Saints have been involved in the trials for goal line technology, and they've been testing it for some time at Staplewood. Today I noticed that there are a number (12 or so) of cameras fitted to the roof of the stadium, pointing at the pitch so they aren't cctv. I'm thinking they may be the cameras that are used for Hawkeye. Having seen that goal QPR weren't given today, it's about time they brought something in.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 10 March, 2012 Share Posted 10 March, 2012 I think they're used for the team when they do Analysis and the "All Angles Covered" videos on SaintsPlayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 10 March, 2012 Share Posted 10 March, 2012 Wasn't Hawkeye invented in Romsey? Up at Roke Manor? I spent a lot of my childhood roaming the grounds of that place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Diamond Posted 10 March, 2012 Share Posted 10 March, 2012 Hawkeye is based in Colden Common. They have looked into goal line technology and yes it has been tested at St. Mary's for FIFA - I happen to know someone on the team that installed it.

Verbal Posted 10 March, 2012 Share Posted 10 March, 2012 After the QPR ****-up this afternoon, the FA put out a hasty release calling for the technology to be introduced. Wouldn't be surprised to see it next season in the Prem and Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benj Posted 10 March, 2012 Share Posted 10 March, 2012 Hawkeye was being tested at St. Mary's earlier this season, it is one of two technogloies that have passed the first stage of tesing to go before IFAB for a final decision after the Euros, whether it's still installed or not I don't know.

Huffton Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 Is it not the Prozone cameras? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I believe it was, Roke Manor is/was Siemens R+D site. Worked there for a while, lovely grounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbal Posted 11 March, 2012 Share Posted 11 March, 2012 It was invented by Paul Hawkins (hence the name), who is an artificial intelligence specialist, and was a passionate (and pretty good) cricketer at my son's old school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah you're thinking of Wangy Eye, which was what StuRomseySaint had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
