"FIFA is to consider the introduction of micro-chipped footballs after a high-profile incident during a Premiership game between Manchester United and Tottenham," reports The Register. [The ball crossed the line but the goal was not given.]
"German sport goods company Adidas has already developed a micro-chipped ball and is to make a presentation to the International Football Association Board in Cardiff on Feb 26. If accepted, the ball could already be used in the Carling Cup final at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium the following day."
Update: In a comment, below, Mavan points out that a much better version of this story was in The Guardian on January 5, and says: "it might be worth experimenting with reading the paper you work for." Ouch.
Usually I do, Mavan, but I was at CES in Las Vegas at the time....
My other mistake was thinking The Register might be up to date with the news ;-)
