QPR WANT VIDEO CHALLENGES

Swings and roundabouts, you win some, you lose some.

I think there should be video challenges, it would take the pressure off the referee's.

We have it in Cricket, Tennis and American Football and it would work if like tennis the managers could make a small numer of challenges each half or perhaps a player could challenge and if wrong they get booked, so two wrong challenges and they are off.

I dont see how a video challenge will stop an attacker? Surely a real player has to go in and make the challenge - and thats called a tackle.

Just to clarify I meant Challenges to the Referee's decision

Definitely needed, the use would have to be minimal though. Todays technology would mean it could be viewed and a CORRECT decision made quicker than it takes some players to get up !!! The pressure would be off the ref's and put on the players to behave. Thats gotta be a good thing as it'll mean more goals for the fans. These days defenders are getting away with "murder". DIVING and USE of the ARM seem to have become the norm .

Don't see how challenges can work tbh. So many decisions are debated by pundits and fans long after a game has finished.

I don't see why we can't have constant video technology for balls crossing the goal line and offsides though. Someone watching the monitors could just press a button when it's offside for example.

It vould be quote simple. The Player signals the Manager that they should challenge. the manager tells the Fourth offical and ne tells the referee at the same time the Video judge is looking at the replay and makes a decision to the ref.

It would take no longer than the usual players surrounding the ref and protesting, instead it can be done in an adult manner.

Yes but what are they challenging? If it's anything other than the ball crossing lines or offsides I don't see how it can work.

Look at that Carling Cup match between City and Liverpool. There was one of the most blatent hand-ball decisions you'll ever see. The ref got it spot on, and still it was 'controversial'.

Hasza, it could be like American Football with certain things you can challenge or Tennis where you can challenge anything but if you are wrong it costs you the challenge, so if you were allowed 3 challenges and you appealled for 3 throw-in in the first 5 minutes and was wrong on each, then you would not have any left for the half, so if the Ref missed a blatent Hand ball you couldn't complain. It would mean managers only challenging when they really think it important and really think the ref got it wrong

I would give one challenge for each side per half. After all the players have a break when someone is injured so I can't see another four breaks making that much difference and the bookies will love it.
