After all the fuss at the world cup regarding missed calls from the officials on the field, are you for or against having video replay in professional sports?
To video replay or not?

- Start date
Don't mind my jubilation over here I cannot help myself, you see I am German/Canadian. I do think they should have had it this time around. It should have been 2:2 before halftime, goals do make a difference to the players spirit and willpower. However, having said that in this case the better team won. When they disallowed the second England goal, I said you guys better score at least 2 more goals and so they did. Still it be all over the papers. So yes we should and I think we will have re-play in 2014.

According to Fifa they still have no intention of using goal line technology for the next world cup but have said they will probably have further officials on the by-line as they had in the europa cup, and anyone who watched that will know how much use they were.
What got me about that yesterday was how silent the entire crowd went when the goal was disallowed there was a stunned silence in the entire stadium from both sets of fans.
I did like Gary Linekars Idea to introduce an appeal process like they have in tennis and also to have it equally limited so that during a course of a match each side would be allowed upto 3 appeals which could then be viewed on the screens and a decision made from there, doing it that way would prevent pointless appeals for Diving etc and if a team use all 3 appeals they then have no right to contest any other decisions made by the officals.
However Mr Linekar also commented that after that disallowed Goal that this might now shut the germans up about 1966..............The words Pot and Kettle immediatly sprung to mind.

Sounds quite like US Football, I believe the coach can protest a call and if wrong he loses a timeout or gets a delay of game penalty if he's used up his TO's (US Football afficionados, please correct me here if I'm totally off base) Seems to work quite well IMO.
