Video Technology: France Goal Disallowed And Spain’s Given
Reuters / Gonzalo Fuentes
France vs Spain is always special and the use of video technology in today’s match in Paris made it much more special as this could be the future of officiating.
The referee would only refer to video technology if it was a decision resulting in a goal, case of mistaken identity or red card.
First Decision: Griezmann Goal Disallowed
Great example of why video refereeing needs to become a thing. Griezmann’s goal correctly called back for offside pic.twitter.com/6DK0byt5Vq

Let's take the most popular sport in the world and fuck about with the rules and the way it's officiated #videoref #FRAESP

Can't belive pundits/commentators on ITV think passionate celebrations are more important than correct decisions. #videoref #FRAESP

Potentially huge moment for football that video ref decision working so well. Really undecided if I'm for or against but that was impressive

video ref was great, in 10 seconds the 'goal' was fixed & nobody argued or fought, positive atmosphere, couldn't be a more successful trial?

If you watched #FRAESP tonight, do you think #videoref should be implemented in the Premier League?
