Cardiff City will have to pay for

Goal-line technology next season, should we be promoted.

Premier League: "We're working on the basis of having goal-line technology in place for the start of the season. All clubs will have to have the system, including those promoted."

HOW DOES GOAL-LINE TECHNOGY WORK?

Hawk-Eye's system works by using six cameras, focusing on each goal, to track the ball on the pitch.

The system's software then uses "triangulation" to pinpoint the exact location of the ball.

If it crosses the goal-line an encrypted radio signal is sent to the referee's wristwatch to indicate a goal has been scored.

GoalRef uses sensors on the posts and crossbar which detect changes in the magnetic field when the ball crosses the line.

In line with Fifa's requirements, the whole process takes less than a second to complete.
