Should video technology be introduced?

(Written by Manuel Francisco dos Santos)

As recent as the past few weeks we have witnessed incidents which demonstrate that the game is too quick and too fast for the on-field officials and they are in need of assistance.

The game is rendered a farce when the whistleblower is the only person who is of the opinion, for example, that a goal isn't a goal – as was the fate suffered by Pedro Mendes, which would have seen his goal tally double for Spurs.

Failure to call blatent handballs isn't much better either.

In every single game there are going to be contentious decisions and many of those will have an outcome on the result of the game, or even the tournament, as was the case for South Korea at the 2002 World Cup (which they co-hosted).

The bigger the occasion the more chance a decision will become part of football folklore. 40 years after the fact, people are still debating if Geoff Hurst's shot crossed the line.

With so much hinging on matches not the least of which are people's livelihoods, it is owed that the right decision is reached and if that means going to video replay or introducing more on-field officials so be it. They have three in basketball which covers a far smaller area.

Referees aren't able to keep up with the pace of the game but before anything can be done to solve the problem, this had to be acknowledged. Think we are now there.

Yesterday, Sepp Blatter announced FIFA's plan to use the aid of video technology "at the 2007 World Club Championship and offer its use at other FIFA competitions too".

Some people out there may be celebrating this decision as a victory for pragmatism. Their argument runs that if we have the technology which can settle whether, for example, the ball crossed the line then we should use it. Certainty in such decisions is a positive development for the game. Further, this will reduce the burden on referees – for whom any help would be beneficial – as such match deciding decisions would be taken out of their hands and thus removing the present human error which often occurs.

Yet if video technology becomes mainstream, it would signal a dark day for football.

A prime reason why football is the greatest game in the world is because it is one of the few worldwide games which has the exact same rules at the amateur sport level which is then played at the professional level. The rule of offside is applied in its equal measure whether the player in question is a kid representing their school or Sunday league club, or whether the game being played is the Champions League Final.

This "level playing field" is a central tenant of what makes the beautiful game so beautiful. Its provides for equal opportunity for all. So let's keep things pure.
