KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Should football use video refs for penalty decisio

It seriously wouldn't take up that much time. Like you said neal, there's usually only 2 events (if that) during a game where it is needed. They could use the 4th official to view a video on the sideline and advise the ref on the field. People are thinking it will get like Rugby but rugby have a hell of alot more incedents during a game than football would.

I think after tonights game all Chelsea players, officials and fans would have loved this to be the case. Chelsea had no less than four decisions turned down. The ref tonight was an absolute joke!!! Why can't this sort of stuff happen to Manure??
Seriously though, it ruined the result and Chelsea deserved to go through!

Still funny to watch Drogba whailing and screaming standing up. He's usually doing that while he is rolling on the ground holding his ankle that no-one touched.

worst thing about last night's result is that I really think Chelsea would have had the better chance of beating the mancs!

i don't think Barça with their current defenders, especially after the suspensions, will be good enough to stop the mancs from running riot up front and that really is not a nice thought!!!!

Yeah, I think there should be video evidence but only for big decisions. Plus it would stop all the crap about the big clubs getting all the decisions going their way, althought I think the scum get more than their fair share going their way, mostly pens not given against them

Barcelona will have Puyol and possibly Milito back for the final, plus Sylvinho is a better defender than Alves anyway. If anything they'll be stronger in defence.

Probably one of those was a penalty tonight, which evens out the one Henry should have had in the first leg. Worst decision of the night by a mile was the free-kick and sending off against Abidal.

Chelsea had 30 minutes to score against 10 men but they decided to sit back, just like 2005 they showed how classless they are when getting knock out. it was hilarious.

while we are on the subject of last nights game.
Do you think UEFA will take action against the Chelsea players?
apparaently Terry,Ballack and Drogba carried on with the ref when they got in the tunnel.
The ref had a bad game-no doubting that.

If i was head of UEFA, I think I would bring back capital punishment and string all three of them up.

Drogba calling anyone a 'DISGWACE' is the worst case of pot calling the kettle black i think i've ever seen.

Seeing John Terry crying is fast becoming an annual tradition I really enjoy though. Especially as we did it 3 times, lol.

NO to video refs. The problem being, where do you draw the line?

It's OK in a game like Rugby or Cricket where things move slower. But in an end-to-end sport, I would say no.

The line would be drawn at the referee's discretion. Like I said, the chances are, it would only be need two times in one game, at most. It would only be used for potential score-changing situations.
