Instant Video Replays in football. Do you want them ?

[JoeBeton]

**** things happen in football rather alot, like referees making the wrong decisions etc, but it's not hampering my enjoyment of the game and I think that the risks of the introduction of too much technology counter and positives. Leave football (on the pitch) as it is, it works .

A referral system is needed.

Something like, each team get 2 replay appeals per half. Like Tennis.

So you would rather spend the whole time talking about the referees mistakes than the actual football that was being played? As is what happens with out this technology. oO)

Anyone with half a brain can see that technology is needed in football.

No. Other than that we can argue on something if the scenario is like this,.

Team A shoots. Ball hits the bar and bounces off the line. No one knows whether it has crossed or not. Team B gets the position and counter attacks and they are 3 on 2. Will you stop the run of play to watch the video and make decision?

If the Ball crossed the line then fair, Team A gets the goal, If the ball didnt then what about the goal scoring opportunity stopped by ref.

I think it's necesary. Many other sports use technology for this kind of things and it's ok. Why not in football?

People say "it won't be the same". I agree, but I say "it would be much better".

Th only thing I want instant replay is for whether the ball crosses the line in a goal situation. Whenever it's questionnable the refs go into a a meeting anyway so why not use the time off to confirm. Using replays for anything else will dissrupt the flow of the game.

What I really want is for retrospective bookings for diving and other fouls. It's bad enough dives are often rewarded with a penalty, but there has to be some punishment for the offending party.
