Re: Technology in Sport
as stated football is a fast flowing game and can't be stop every 5 mins to go to a video ref. it wouldn't work the game would have no flow to it.. the players would end up getting cold and cause them injuries etc
what should be done is bring it in to check whether the ball has crossed the line for a goal or not and that should be it.. it can be checked quite easily and quickly and done disrupt the game
it was tried in peru for the FIFA under 17 championship but i'm sure sure what came of these trials
what should also happen is that after a match all the diving, pretending to be injured etc can be looked at and players banned for 15 games.. but this would have to be done with FIFA all over the world we couldn't just have it in England.. at the weekend one player was fouled from behind but went down and held the front of his knee!!!! surely the refs must know that is impossible
for the referrees ONLY the captain should be able to talk to them anyone else should be banned and carded if they do
