I think what he says makes sense Biggus. I'm all for goal line technology but that's pretty much my limit, and only because that gives a definitive answer that cannot be questioned. There are no grey areas with it, a ball either did cross the line or did not. Goals are the most crucial aspect of a game and if technology means errors like those which denied Pedro Mendes at Old Trafford or Lampard against Germany can be cut out then the authorities have a responsibility to ensure its implemented.
As for other technology, in-game reviews etc, that would only provide a definite answer in extreme cases. The majority of the time a referee would still have to weigh up the facts and rule based on his opinion, so I believe things should be left as they stand there. How many times do we watch match of the day and the pundits and presenters still cannot come to a decision based on half a dozen camera angles and slow motion replays. As much as they sometimes clear up situations, angles and slow mos often distort it to as you can't read the pace of the game properly. Look at Eduardos penalty against Celtic or Rooneys against us with Almunia, both clear dives when you consider all the evidence, but each player can point to camera angles, Rooney moreso, which show contact with the keeper which they could argue warrants a penalty. It isn't definitive in either case.
I'm all for referees being recorded, I see no harm in it. And I think more could and should be done by way or retrospective punishments when incidents are missed or called wrongly during games. I think a missed but clear dive during a game which may have brought a yellow card should should be subject to a one game ban retrospectively.
