After coming up at the weekend once again, I made the decision to find out what the 'average football fan' thinks about the debate at hand. I have posted a few of the replies below but what became clear was the number of fans who would support the introduction of new technologies.
"Hughesy is absolutely right. TV replays to aid decision-making works in cricket and the two codes of rugby: why not football? And before the FA make the point Mark quotes about the Dog and Duck and the Feathers, nobody pays to watch them. To fork out 30-odd quid to watch Rovers against West Ham and have the game turned on blatantly incorrect decisions is almost akin to ripping off the fans. We don't pay to watch referees and linesmen: we pay to watch players play to the besr of their ability. It costs more than ever these days to watch football, so every care should be taken to make sure such major decisions are correct. The technology is there: use it"
"Let's face it, everyone in the country knows that decision for the second 'goal' was a joke but moaning about it will get us nowhere."
"I've always said that a referee can be excused for not seeing something that has happened. No one can spot everything. But there is no excuse for seeing something that never happenned."
Let me know what you think.
