Not a sports fan, but the vid technology seems like something they should have had a long time ago :?

It'll ruin aspects of the game that keep us argueing/debating and just generally interested in football, I think thats my problem with video tech and official inflation and possibly FIFAs.

Its like these retrospective bans seemingly has come from cultures round the devolped world wanting to sterilise the game, just as many want to sterilise culture in general.

Also video technology has issues with the leagues the FIFA would want whats in the top divisions and competitions in the nonleagues and the lesser competitions.
The current system worked for over 120 years and it should stay that way. It'll mean we all still have something to talk about afterwards.

As a person who goes to the match regularly, including last nights carling cup tie against arsenal, I see contentious decisions alot of the time often agianst us but I just think it is part and parcel of the game itself.

Well they won't be able to introduce the extra officials throughout the league, there just aren't enough of them.

As for the current system, has it really not changed for over 120 years..?
