Following SAF's rants against what he sees as poor refereeing fitness and decision making, there have been some suggestions that FIFA should look into adding video referee.
Add to that the injustice felt by Birmingham and Lee Carsley at Anfield, when David Ngog clearly dived to win a penalty and there may be some weight behind that.
Having said that, whereas in ruby, it works as that strange game naturally stops and starts and doesn't flow anywhere near as much as football, how and when should the technology be used. If you think it should be used at all?
I like the current rules. I like the fact that the morning after a match we have something to discuss. If it were so clinical that every decision is analysed by the referees committee at every game, there will be nothing to discuss.
Perhaps FIFA could look at banning companies such as Sky, etc from using high magnification cameras and super slo-mo replays, from 30-odd different angles?
What do you think?
