Video Ref in Football - The Debate

[Insomnia]

I would go with the goal line camera for sure, the famous event last season when Tottenham put the ball over the line in injury time and was clear to see by everyone including the Man U keeper. The main thing that does my nut in is when goals are scored clearly onside but are prevented by referees giving an offside! As for the rest i think decisions could be better if the standard of ref's was inproved!

yeah in a way i'd like to see it used for goal line decisions, but then i fear it would be used for more and more elements which wouldn't be good really.

If you don't have a few controversial decisions every now and then it takes out alot of the fun and hype surrounding the decisions.

they use video replay in american football. it works, but it takes time. so with soccer/football, it's not practical except maybe in some very, very limited situations like when someone goes down in the penalty area.
