What are your thoughts on goal line technology? (Should it be introduced in the BPL for example?)

Here's an excerpt of Belgian's Jupiler League Lierse vs Genk game of last week.
A Genk (blue) player fires a long distance shot; the ball hits the crossbar and bounces back, clearly no goal.
At first, the ref didn't award Genk a goal but was convinced by his AR -who was "in a better position to judge".
This phase started a considerable debate in Belgium: firstly about the introduction of goal line technology, and, secondly: are referees being criticized too much? However, the outcome was: goal line technology is seen as way too expensive for our top league (apparently, around 800.000 euros per stadium).
The referee, Wim Smet, is "being rested" for the moment.
