Liverpool appeal. On the replay we see that it's possible Henderson handled accidentally. As we are watching the replay, we also see that before the ball reached Dzeko, Kompany went to head it & was hauled back by Skrotal, but in the same picture, Aguero was pulling Johnson's shirt.
What decision does the video judge give ?
It might stop all the WWE moves being performed during every corner!
I agree with iwasthere2012, it will be a defined set of rules, this is for all teams to adhere to and the officials to carry out. You need to take that tin foil hat off Ted.
But it won't. The kind of instance I'm talking about is going to happen & it's going to be down to whether the video ref, decides to pick City, Liverpool, Utd, Whinger, Mourinho. How does the video ref decide ? He will give Liverpool the benefit of the doubt, & overturn the ref's decision. Then on Sky, they will all be arguing whether it was right or not, with Carragher saying it was accidental, Alan Smith agreeing & perhaps Neville saying they got away with one. So instead of the ref giving us a pen, we will be arguing why we didn't get one.
You really thing that all of a sudden, things will change ? Why ?
Can you tell me where you are going to find these people who are going to watch these replays & suddenly start interpreting things correctly & fairly without being influenced by outside pressure?
What exactly has been stopping them from giving Fellaini red cards for elbowing people in the face for instance ? The rules are there already, the video evidence is there, why has he got away with it all season ? They watch a replay of it, & decide there is no case to answer. We all know there is. They get it wrong.
This isn't going to happen during a game ?
Refs will be more inclined to give pens, because it can be overturned, so Rooney, Ashley Young, Sturridge etc, will be over at every touch, & if there is a 'touch' the ref will give it & the video will uphold it, wheras now, the ref may figure it's not enough contact. If he has a backup system, what the fuck, give it anyway.
