Video reffing approved for France-Spain tomorrow

Why? What was wrong with his goal?

I wondered what Millington was on about when i heard that last night, i think he was refering to fouls on Mario and an attempted hack on Sergio, don't know why he used that as an example though apart from saying it was the stand out moment in Prem history, the plastic rag in the studio nearly choked

Wondered what the rags would think of. Mixed bag with many not liking it and joining since but this post made me laugh:



But plenty know their days getting every decision are worried:

Arseholes would of won nowt, in fact they would of been in div 2 if the laws of the game were applied to their fricking shit house of a club.
They make the old wrestling look real.

The calls all balance out over the season is one of the football idioms I truly despise. There's absolutely no reason for anyone, at any time to actually believe that's true - even if bad decisions were genuinely completely random it wouldn't be true.

Who came up with it?

i think with time and practice this could be reasonably slick. It wasn't bad but the 1st France 'goal' was a bit slow.

I'm a big fan of emotionally driven sport, incorrect decisions are all part and parcel of footy for me, but then i can see how that opinion isn't really practical in the modern game anymore, which will become a little more sterilized.

Pundits trying to make excuses for united getting big decisions every week.

Big decisions being correct is more important than anything for me. Chances are we'd be 2 points off top had the decisions been correct in just three games at home to the top four.

Incorrect decisions shouldn't be a part of the sport at all.

i can see your point, honestly i can, i'm definitely not going to be standing in the streets saying "bring back shonky offsides!" bcos i can see how ridiculous it seems for a sport to be intertwined with incorrect decisions, it seems bonkers at the very least.

but then it just feels we're driving the sport further away from what i recognise. The demand for everything to be right, we should have 2 more pts etc, bcos ultimately it means we might miss out on top4 etc which in the end is cash and prestige. The bottom line is the financial burden of the game is completely incongruous with 'you win some you lose some' on the decisions front. For me that's a shame.

David Gill is sat on the bog now with his head in his hands wailing "it's over it's over"

Just shows how MANUre have moved on. Once upon a time it was a guy looking under the toilet door from the outside, now he's looking under the toilet door from the inside! Progress? I dunno!

It suits some people to have the possibility of 'wrong' decisions being part and parcel of the game because they have historically benefited whilst others have been on the receiving end of the shite from refs. You only have to listen to the ex-pro pundits, particularly the world-renowned coach, Ince, to see how much the game is crying out for decisions to be correct, and that EVERY result clearly indicates what went on during the game. Video reffing at The Lane last season? That could have been three points for us. There are still some questions to be raised re the use of video. We still have the likes of Rojo escaping lengthy bans for tackles which three 'experts' have viewed and still let the player off!

Surely someone's done a study of it? I know it's not exactly reliable, because goals often change how the rest of the game goes, but it would be interesting to see. Everyone who supports a small club believes that the big clubs get decisions too, for example.
