Hello folks,
There's been calls for referees to have more help when making decisons for quite sometime now. The governing bodies seem reluctant to embrace modern technology. Extra referees have been used, first in the Europa League and this season in the Champions League.
After watching this clip from a cup tie back home in England, you'll understand why it is important we have them now!

It truly is amazing. I saw a game at Old Trafford a few years ago . . . we were playing Spurs, always a well fought, highly contested fixture. There was a refereeing decision that to this day baffles me . . . have a look; after watching it you will see United were very lucky to finish the game with one point - we should have had none.

Then of course there was the now legendary incident involving New York Red Bulls' Thierry Henry when he was playing in the World Cup Play-Off against the Republic of Ireland. . .

Maybe a concerted effort from fans around the world will make the game's governing bodies change their minds . . .
See you next time,
Eddie
