Doonhamer doon south Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 I believe it's time Scottish football start the introduction of video technology in aid of the referees. Goal line technology is a start but in my view it's not enough. I believe there should be video help available for goals red cards Attacking free kicks and penalties Offsides (that lead to a goal being scored) This could be done one of 3 ways Video ref steps in if on field ref has got a key decision wrong On field ref could go to the video ref to clarify a key decision On field captain could ask for a review of decision in a similar way to cricket. One review for each half if right keep review if wrong lose the review for that half. Discuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamba_trio Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 They've already started it in Australia but we've a problem to address before we do it here (even assuming it was only for top flight matches). We don't have enough cameras at most games to make it useful. I'm with you in that it should be a thing (also, can we start timing games properly? Would it be so hard to have a stopwatch that stops when there's subs or injuries or timewasting?) but, given that we can't even afford more than two cameras, I doubt it'll be happening here any time soon.

babu Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 The retrospective action for diving in England, this coming season, should be very intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdinburghBlue Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 No. Part of the fun of football is that referees often get decisions wrong. This provides a talking point for post-match moans. Where would the fun be if referees got every decision right. Hadn't realised that this was actually being trialled in tonight's France v England friendly. Completely disagree with the video referees decision on penalty for England and red card for France. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northboy Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 We have unrealistic faith in video technology. Although it is used successfully in tennis, cricket and even rugby these are usually yes/no or in/out decisions. Football incidents are open to much more interpretation. Despite intensive TV coverage managers, players, pundits and fans are unable to reach agreement on so many incidents. Referees themselves are subject to opinions and interpretation. I'm not surprised that there is such debate over the France v England match last night. Video technology is coming but it won't create a situation where everyone happily accepts every decision.

Salvo Montalbano Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 I didn't think that incident warranted a penalty, let alone a red card - but what was the protocol had the video ref agreed? Drop ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't doubt that decisions can still be 50-50 and go either way due to the referee interpretation of the incident. But I do think there will be a reduction in the number of decisions that are incorrectly made during a match. for example The penalty given against Darren Fletcher against Lithuania for THAT DIVE 10 years ago. Thierey Henry hand ball against the Irish in the final minutes of the playoff game in 2012 i think it was. HAND OF GOD which of course was a header . . . This is just top of my head there are obviously dozens more over the years that video technology would of corrected. Its moments like the above mentioned that can be corrected and referee can get the assistance they need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
