Looked for a thread on this. Couldn't find one so I thought I'd start one.
Niasse's tuck and salko on Saturday seems to have re-surfaced this topic up again so it's worth a discussion. Should this be introduced?
Against are the perennial arguments over the potential it has to interrupt the game; that refereeing mishaps are part of the theatre and these decisions even out over time.
For is the argument that there's loads of cameras and readily available coverage beamed to an audience in the hundreds of millions who have better real-time information than the poor fella who is charged with making the decisions. They don't help themselves, but to this end the ref is being hung out to dry.
My opinion is that the argument for is persuasive to the extent that it is, at least used for major decisions. Goals, penalties and red cards. With each there is a natural break in play. These major decisions have the most impact upon games. By having a qualified ref watching a TV feed with different angles the guy on the pitch has the necessary support to be sure of his positions rather than guessing; making the wrong decision by being unsighted etc.
Other leagues are beginning to use it. The financial gap between the PL and Championship is sufficiently huge that the risk of refereeing mistakes condemning a club is now too great. It makes no sense to me that this technology isn't introduced.
However it's a view.
Thoughts?
