Sky Sports v Technology.



With reference to Reading's first goal against Liverpool (a contentious penalty) the Premier League Review Show commentator (Dave Becket?) says that it is difficult for referees with only a split second to make decisions, but these decisions "even themselves out" over the course of a season. He cites a penalty awarded to Liverpool earlier in the season despite the foul on the Liverpool player having been committed outside the penalty area.

Two wrongs make a right, then.

This is the same old anti-technology argument regurgitated once more.

When will the world of football wake up and join the twenty-first century? With violence returning to the game and corruption seemingly widespread, it is now time for FIFA to make a stand and to regularise the game by the use of technology to monitor matches and help referees come to their decisions.
WE NEED VIDEO EVIDENCE NOW!
