Premier League referees' chief Keith Hackett and Premier League general secretary Mike Foster will present proposals to the International FA Board meeting in Manchester on Saturday.

Critics believe goal-line technology is a step in the wrong direction but Hackett insists the time has come for the game to modernise, but only in terms of judging whether it is a goal or not.

"Football is ultimately about scoring goals and the question I would ask, is would people be happy with the World Cup final, the most prestigious match there is, being decided by an inaccurate result? We want goals to be a decision based on fact, not opinion," Hackett told the Press Association.

Hackett's video presentation will include the Manchester United v Tottenham two seasons ago when goalkeeper Roy Carroll spilled a long-range shot from then-Spurs midfielder Pedro Mendes over the line but a goal was not given.

"We are working with Hawk-Eye in order to seek approval from the International FA Board to run an experiment to test out a version of goal-line technology," added Hackett.

"We believe we are putting forward a strong proposal that underlines what is available and how we want to experiment to gather data to accurately determine the quality of the product.

"We are suggesting a possible alternative to the other proposals with a reputable business company, Hawk-Eye, which already operates in top-level tennis and cricket.

"The system operates with cameras and computers linked directly to the referee, providing immediate information without interference, so we believe it fulfils all the criteria."
