[b]however one thing is true about it. The pros of video technology is more than the coins of it Almost all sports have embraced technology. Those sports have not lost its passion. The game gets interesting and intriguing with video technology. Some people say that bias officiating favors all teams as time progresses. I do not see it this way. What statistical analysis was used to come up with this fact? Every time poor officiating takes place, my mind goes back to why people feel the video technology will work against the greatness of the game. Due to poor officiating, we see players lose their tempers and take matters into their hands to hurt other players. Zuniga and Neymar incident at the World Cup comes to mind. Some argue the video technology will take the powers off the referees hands. I wonder why that is the case. In video technology, there is going to be a referee behind the cameras who takes the final decision. That referees decision is final. Video technology will improve the accuracy of the referee's decision and helps his final judgment. It would not undermine the referee but improve the referee's decision. The argument that replays will slow down the game is another flawed argument. If we want the game moving along, why add fouls. Every foul in the frame slows down the game. Without video technology, we have cases where players have walked out of the pitch and refused to play. For instance, the game between France and Portugal at the European Cup of nation in 2000. A video technological decision would have saved this. Sometimes players decent the referees and lead to them sending off. Sometimes it gets to a point where coaches argue with referees. All these slow down the game. Video technology would make the game move faster than slow it down. It is a technological system and most problems have been addressed. A few minutes to ensure the right decisions are made would not kill the spectacle and enjoyment of the game. It would give the fans few extra minutes to enjoy the game and add extra value to their money spent. So much money is spent on the game. Clubs spend millions a week catering for heir players and staffs. Managements buy clubs for hundreds of millions and sink in hundreds of millions to develop the club's structure and staffs. Fans pay lots of money to support their favorite team. Cameras around the pitch and a computer room and an automated system helping the referee make the right decision will give value to the money spent on the game. The argument that removing the wrong decisions of the referee would remove a major part of the game which is arguing the referee's decision is another point that needs review. There are so many topics that deserves to be talked about instead of the referee's poor officiating. For instance how can a team or fans of a team know where their team needs to improve if time is spent arguing how poorly an official was. Even after a replay is seen, people still argue. So there would still be the referee decision argument with video technology. I hope FIFA members initiate the video technology into the game. The poor decisions are getting too much. The game is getting faster for the referees. This technology must start from somewhere and benefit the game. http://passionforgoals..com/2014/11/it-is-time-for-video-technology-in.html[/b] |
