Bar the goal-line system I'd be truly loathe to introduce anymore technology in to football like bar more retrospective punishment but even then nearly everything it'd be used for would still be the same subjective matter as what people would want to see used in video evidence in the future.

I'm sort of up for it now tbh, fucking fed up with bad decisions and the tedium that follows after the game. Trial it in a few preseason tournaments, see what happens.

 

I would be up for it - but only for super quantifiable cut and dry things - like offside technology. It would annoy me even more if an in-game review system was introduced and decisions were still incorrect.

 

Retrospective bans/lifting of bans based on N-O forum consensus would be alreet too.

As has been mentioned numerous times, there are already a ton of stoppages in a regular "90 minute" football game that a few replays of the most divisive incidents (which may not even occur in every single game being played) will hardly turn the game into test cricket.

I don't think the video replays would work because a lot of the time in football the decisions are a matter of opinion. If you have a TMO or video ref up in the stands looking at replays they're going to side with the referee unless its an obvious mistake

I don't reckon that there would be many issues with it tbh, give teams 3 reviews per game, allow the fourth officials have access to a TV and it'd only take about a minute to find out if something was called incorrectly.

One thing it'd be in favour of is, like in Rugby, being able to hear the refs, so people better understand what was going through their mind when making a decision.

It wouldn't be a minute though. It's certainly not always that quick in rugby or cricket. They watch the replays over and over, from different angles, rewinding and fastforwarding. It's nauseating. In football there's so much stuff that's down to interpretation, the video ref would be on for fucking ever. So you're then at the point where you probably have to take timekeeping out of the referee's hands and pause the clock. Which is a huge and fundamental change to the sport.

 

I'm 100% against it. The only other thing I could possible see it at some point maybe working for is offsides, if they can develop a system which calls them immediately like they do for goal line stuff.

I like it how it is. Stop trying to ruin it with silly stuff. Wrong decisions are part of the game, from grass roots to the highest level. Should be consistent across all levels at least.

 

This would be my preferred option TBH, just accept that referees aren't perfect. And review footage afterwards for diving.

I like that idea, but because it would also broadcast what the players were saying to the referee, and thereby curtail their wining/complaining

It used to be much quicker and less used because they could only check the actual try itself, now they can go back to shit that happened 30 seconds and 7 phases earlier.  It's all about balance, which the IRB fucked up on despite having it right.
