The Debate: Should Technology Be Used In The Game?

Surprised I haven't done this one yet.

Well, obvioiusly it should. If they could use cameras for the Zidane headbutt I believe (?) it should be used all the time, it takes 30 seconds to a minute. It's obvious just stuff like the Berbatov dive just now and the Thierry Henry handball, Stokes disallowed "goal" aswell as Crystal Palaces. Theres no reason why it shouldn't.

Yes.

Yes. Blatter needs to be able to fix the games though.

Yes and it's ridiculous it isn't. I mean how long does it take to show a tv reply, 20 seconds?

They have the technology on the touchlines anyway, might as well go all the way.

And isn't this already been done anyway?

Only in WC/Euros/CL etc. Not in leagues because that really wouldn't be fair for countries that can't afford it.

The 5th officials can't even sort out the ridiculous penalty decisions you get in the UCL.

Chelsea should have had 2 vs Marseille away in the UCL.. both where the 5th man was a matter of yards away.

Bullshit.

That's like saying you shouldn't be able to spend millions on players as some leagues can't afford it.

Simple answer ... Yes. Stop things like that happening.

Remember Arsenal v Braga? That was horrendous.

How could a country not afford to refer to a replay if they are running a proffesional league? I say use for all proffesional competitions but only for checking if the ball crosses the line.

It's nothing about the costs.

How much does it cost to have a TV a room with someone watching it, if they can't afford radios they could just run down onto the pitch to tell the Ref.

It should've been added 10 years ago

Is this another of your original debates that has never been discussed before?

Yes it should.

Yes.

Super footballing robots should be designed, with the pace of Walcott and skill of Messi.
