The old age debate has come up yet again. I am of course referring to whether we should have video replays to determine certain situations in the beautiful game.
The Henry goal is just the latest example. Now let’s look at this in the right context.
FIFA has done extensive research into certain aspects of helping to improve the game but it has focused mainly on whether the ball has crossed the line or not. This was looked into with the idea of a chip being inserted into the ball with the technology to signal if the ball had crossed the line.
They decided against this with the reasoning that it will take away from the human element of the game, and that this new concept could not be done universally, and while I agree with that to a degree. I think we should be looking to help the officials as much as we can and be thinking about this in a different light.
