I totally agree, even if we still have television replays there's still decisions that can go either way, all that will happen is it will add stupid amounts of time to matches. It will end up with fans saying referees favour certain teams because they gave them a 50/50 decision, it will be ludicrous. A good example is todays match, Pederson goes down in the box because Rafael touches his shoulder, i didn't think it was a penalty, the commentator i was listening to didn't think it was a penalty, but Linnekar and Shearer were certain it was a penalty, these are decsions that just have to be split second decsions by the referee and linesman otherwise we will be there all night deciding which way to give the decisions. Possibly the only technology i would like to see is to check if the ball has crossed the line, but i reckon if thats allowed other things will be sneaked it and it will end up with all decisions being reviewd which is what we definately don't need.
