Show some vision and embrace video technology to assist refs

-

OF course our referees should be helped by video technology.

They deserve a break after all these years of tinkering with the laws of the game to such a degree that it must be on the brink of impossible to keep up.

Yes, video replays will lead to longer breaks in play, but who cares when it leads to the right result?

Opponents will also claim it is unfair that there are more TV cameras at some games than others. Such a crazy, crazy argument.

You use whatever evidence is available, whether it is footage from 14 different angles or one wobbly webcam.

It’s like saying no one should ever be prosecuted for assault until every nook and cranny of the entire UK is covered by CCTV.

The way things are going, that should be around the tail end of 2018.
