Video Refereeing Coming Into Footy

Should have tried it years ago instead of goal line tech which I can't even remember the last time it was used.

 

In fact video calls will probably help with that too anyway.

I'm ok with this setup, I wasn't keen on challenges or mandatory reviews. The less play is stopped the better. Offside decisions could be automated though if there are enough cameras present.

 

My only question is, will the video referee have access to all cameras to switch between them or will he be limited to the replays Sky chooses to show? Because if it's the latter then this makes no sense at all but the cynic in me isn't sure...

Well then it's up to the governing body to educate that ref.

 

I would allow constant radio communication between them so the input from the video ref is not in the spotlight. That way they can always raise alarms if they deem it necessery and the ref can take it or leave it without the added pressure.

I caught some of this being discussed on TalkSport earlier, one guy argued against it because it would give pundits less to talk about........uh, why should pundits be considered in a decision that could improve the game ? The majortiy of football pundits talk sh*te, maybe this would actually give the good pundits time to talk about the actual football being played rather than the controversy all of the time.

Looking at some of the pundits, the less they talk, the better it is for the viewers at home.

Needs to stay referee initiated only. The coaches in American football and baseball have 2 challenges a game as well and it's terrrrrible to watch. Don't get me wrong, bad decisions should be corrected but the only way to keep things flowing is leave it out of the managers' hands. Goal line technology has already lived up to expectations so hopefully this will be a step in the right direction as well. 

 

It will be interesting to see an official call or not call for a penalty, then go watch the video and change his mind. I can't imagine they will voluntarily ask to see the replay if they think they have a clear view of it. This seems to be more aimed at when the official is unsure or didn't get a good look at a possible foul.
