But again, as soon as they introduce the challenges they will expand it to other areas

That's the whole point surely, sorry, Consilio; the minute the sort of technology being spoken of is introduced the game as we know it is finished. It is the thin end of the wedge. There is just so much riding on a manager getting a result that there is absolutely no way that the technology's so called advances won't spread to cover far more than was initially envisaged and there you have it, game over; welcome to the future.

So what is being proposed with the challenges? What decisions the ref makes or doesn't make can be challenged by a manager? As I said, if you are able to review a penalty claim when play has continued, then the game will have to be stopped to do that, and that is what I am against. I have no problem with technology being used, but it cannot be at the expense of the flow of the game, this is not American Football where the game stops every 30 seconds anyway!! Football is in the entertainment industry, stopping the game all the time to look at video replays will kill the entertainment value of a lot of games!! Even if they take 10 seconds to review the video and make the decision, the whole stoppage will be 30-45 seconds at least by the time the game starts again, that to me is unacceptable!!
It is just not possible to introduce technology into football. Even retrospective stuff like did he dive didn't he is a waste of time cos if he did and the ref waves a yellow (or worse still a red) then the players will get in his face and the game grinds to a halt, and if he didn't dive what then? Stop the game go back? ... Nah, no way. Maybe the divers get a retrospective card AFTER the game perhaps, but even that is destroying the whole established idea of what a soccer match is about... two teams having a go on the day and being monitored (more or less) by a ref and a couple of linesmen. Leave well alone say I.

This is this week's "You Are The Ref" where they talk about the pros & cons of video decisions.

Another manager bites the dust. Magath goes after the Cottagers poor start.
