Plantini - "Video Refs would destroy football"

[8BALL]

http://www.skysports.com/video/0,20285,12606_2796647,00.htmlHe's saying how if video refs we're introduced to football the game would be stopped every 30 secs...and how eventually referees would be fazed out of the game...I think they should be introduced still but to stop the game being stopped have like a maximum of two appeals a game or something like that...i'm sure something could workWhat u lot think?

[Mr Q]

im undecided, part of football is the controversy..

at the world club championship they r gonna test 3 refs innit wanna see how this work plus the ball would have a chip in it to tell if it goes over the line about time they have had that in hockey for years could of put that in football from at vleast 15 years back

They should bring in video technology/refs.All it will do is mess up the beautiful game.

[Lenny Jr.]

Goal line technology im all forbut video refs, nah

f*ck goal line technology and f*ck all video equipment in football.If getting rid of all terracing wasnt bad enough, then hiking up ticket prices and then even maybe now this. The game of football is being slowly ruined.

A Tottenham fan should know thisBut nonetheless he is correct

A Tottenham fan should know what?

[Guest the_truth_hurts]

human errors part of what makes football fun. anyway any rule they bring in they'd have to implement throught football non-league upwards. goal-line tech could work but only if they did like a motion sensor under the crossbar where it tells the ref instantly whether the ball crossed but non league teams couldn't afford this technology.

but say like the middelsbrough match where the goal was disallowed could of meant nothing now but come may that point can save a team from relegation

could have done but so could all of those missed chances that there strikers would have converted throughout the season. teams need to look closer to home for their problems. Also what about the championship team who hasn't got the same privelages as the premiership and a goal which crossed the line but not given costs them the $£$£$ of the premiership. anything they do has to be done in all professional football at least.

good point touche

[Dat Boy B]

Arsonist , dont tell me you wouldnt of liked a video ref here.

[DINKY]

dont need vid ref just a chip in the ball to say the ball went over the line it would not interupt the matchne how thats coming in for the world club championship still

[Dopa]

football needs video nowno need to say "it's going to ruin the game", football has evolved and with all the things that can be at stake ( for example money you get to have when you win a tournament, sponsorship etc.) in one game, you have to bring technology, that's just evolution, it's going to come one day.
