In recent months, especially after the Tiery Henry handball, many calls have been made for the use of the video technology to help assit the referees in officiating, many are just re-echoes as the subject is not new............... but what do you think, should we leave the human element to keep it more controversial and much more interesting..... remember talking points are so important in any sport, ofcourse not cheating i must aDMIT.. WHAT DO U THINK?

Honestly there are good parts and bad parts in both.Thierry Henry should be suspended for the group stage at the World Cup at least.If I were the UEFA chief I would do exactly the same as in rugby.If you ask the referees probably 90% of them want technology.But by doing that the spirit of soccer would be lost and that wouldn't be good for show and fans also.

You see, that is where the problem is: The passion must be kept in the sports. In Thiery Henry's case, it was a clear cheat. But how many of his collegues wont do the same?

the current state of football is quite good but its only the one-off incidents where the right decisions hvent been made and the teams hav to pay a hefty price for it! So in my view we must include the video tech only if the tech can fetch results within seconds without stoppin the pace of the game for which the players and we as football fans love football!

Thats another important factor, the stoppages. HOOW WILL video technology affect the pace of the game, how many seconds wil t take. Its extremely vital that only salient incidents are used and not evry action.... lets bring out the points as they come

Still in sports, the human side must be kept. If you look at this case, the use of video can be installed. However its use should be regulated. Video camera can be used to help only if needed. Like this case, if there are protest from other players, it can be check on the video and the referee can make informed decisions without harming others.
