Re: Technology in Sport


Just thought I'd bump this thread and show that, even with video replays, mistakes still happen. In this case the officials made the correct call on the field, but then made the wrong call when the play was reviewed after a challenge.

NFL says official should have upheld Polamalu call

NEW YORK (Jan. 16, 2006) -- The NFL said the referee made a mistake: Troy Polamalu caught the ball.

The league acknowledged that referee Pete Morelli erred when he overturned on replay Polamalu's interception of a Peyton Manning pass in the playoff game between Pittsburgh and Indianapolis.

Mike Pereira, the league's vice president of officiating, said in a statement that Morelli should have upheld the call, made with 5:26 left in Pittsburgh's win over the Colts.
