    Ya but if it works then why not. If they won't accept video replays then this might be the next best thing. Just like umpires in GAA i presume

    I think its definetly a step in the right direction. Video technology will have to come in at some stage but this is a start

    this all sounds good on paper but what if the 2 extra officials disagree on something. what happens if these 2 and the linesmen thinks its a pen and the referee doesnt, does it come down to a vote? Bring in the VT and be done with it, its going to happen sooner or later when this doesnt work

    I like the way it is at the moment, if there was video there wouldn't be any talking points after game like I should been a penalty, I just perfer it like it is at the moment and Chelsea would of been in the final if there was replays :)

    Current Rule book says the ref has the final say, dont see why it should change.

    Ref's know it will a team effort, thus if the lino and the box ref think its a pen, I can see the ref going with their opinion as they possibly could have a better view for a giving incident.

    Good idea.
