Halfpenny said:I think the idea of the OP is that the retrospective 'trial by slow-mo' as another poster succinctly put it, is what needs to be done away with until video tech is fully implemented on matchday, simply due to its overt manipulation by the media. I think everyone agrees that video tech available to the officials on matchday is absolutely the direction we need to go in.Gary James said:The proper use of video technology is something I strongly agree with and cannot see any legitimate reasons why it cannot be used.
The arguments for are simple and would ensure refs are treated with more respect from managers and players, plus managers would have little to whinge about if a proper process was in place.
I agree entirely. I'm on about ensuring it happens within the match, not afterwards. If you allow it afterwards then you've got to start disallowing goals scored as a result of incorrect judgements and so on otherwise it's all not fair - and obviously that's a ridiculous situation to get into.
Do it all within the match. It's the best way and limits criticism. It's the right way, but why isn't it backed by the FA?
