About time.

YAY! So instead of undermining match officials by relegating to L2 after suck a cock up they instead have the power to just say yeah they missed it and he should be BANNED FOR EVER.

 

Hopefully this is the first step to accepting technology can be used to get calls right for things like lazy offside decisions instead of just having unfit refs plodding about like the own the sport.

Technology is no better and can be very misleading.

Depends what they use, something to stop offsides like the one given against us for Rodriguez at home to Newcastle would be nice as that was just the linesman being old and to slow to keep up/watch, same for Newcastle away as well as that screamer was offside...

 

Would love a rugby style review system or even cricket where it just comes up on the massive board (and needs some IPL style charge music) for big tv ref decisions.

Could never work in Football.

Prior to this change, which was ratified by The Football Regulatory Authority, The FA was only able to take retrospective action when none of the match officials had seen the 'coming together' or when the incident was truly exceptional, for example, in the case of Ben Thatcher's challenge on Pedro Mendes (in 2006).

 

 

 

They got this the wrong way round. The Skate attacked Thatcher.

It will only be used against the smaller clubs, they would not dare punish a Manure player retrospectively, Fergie would go ballistic. Oh wait.

By "love" you mean "hate", right?
