Absolutely!
The mistakes some of these officials are making are a mockery to the game.Surely if clubs which are now businesses are investing millions of Pounds/Dollars or Euros into the game their investment should be better protected than at present. One stupid decision from an incompetent official could cost a club millions. The gross mistakes committed by officials this season in the EPL alone this season have been ridiculous.

Sure; you can't always be in exactly the right spot to see the action at all times; there may be a situation where your view of the critical play was blocked by a bunch of players on the field; the only way you can make the call is if you have the ability to review the play on video and see it from another angle from the one you saw it from (or didn't see, in the case of referees who MUST BE FREAKIN' BLIND!!! *grin*)

It works in all just about all other major sports, rugby, American football, ice hockey, cricket, tennis etc. etc.
The EPL has to come into the 21st century !
There is too much money in the game today and for a ref or linesman admitting he was wrong after the game is ridiculous !
I think if everyone was honest they would want the correct call every time. Would you like your team relegated he ref calls a penalty instead of a obvious dive ?No names but he plays for Spurs.

No, I have had first hand observations at the Goldstone Ground when the Police video over one of the crowd invasions distorted the evidence so badly (just plain wrong!) that this evidence is no better than eyesight. I am all for electronic devices to ascertain if the ball has crossed the goal-line (on the few occasions it is necessary).

Totally agree, then Refrees will be able to make the right decision about fouls that happen in the box and will know whetjer to award penalties. The managers will not complain whether players dive and there will be more peace, without their constant whinning

it's being used in tennis tournaments now and it sure improves the accuracy of the calls. besides, it will probably be more useful in team sports esp. in football where the refs have proved to be all human and officiating mistakes can be costlier in that a dubiously awarded pk can easily spell the difference bet. winning and losing. but the clincher for me is, fair playing teams appear have better chances at winning if this officiating aid is used and i'm all for that 100%.

all prem games have a forth assistant who as radio link to the referee, so he could tell him within a couple of seconds what went on and stop the game. once the player know that they can't get away with anything the will soon stop.

On one hand, it would make the game a lot more fair.
On the hand, soccer is like life. In life, mistakes are made, just like in soccer. And that is what makes both life and soccer beautiful. We can achieve greatness, but not without making mistakes first and learning what we did wrong and how to correct them. Life and soccer are about growth, and inner beauty. They're about love, passion, and learning. I love the game, and life, just the way they are.

not at all, the beautiful sport would loose the sense, is just that, no high-tech on football, the referees are people who makes mistakes as everyone else, so leave it like it is
