Quote: Gazemous "The video ref one makes perfect sense. The ref makes a call (as he would do without the technology), but allows the technology to review his decision. It is less the VR making the decision but eliminating any doubt in the ref's mind - an option the ref doesn't have when the VR is absent and would just have to make a judgement call.
The only alternative is the ref only gives a decision when he is 100% certain, which would just be stupid.'"
but if the ref isn't sure, why are we placing his opinion above that of another trained and qualified referee with multiple angles and replays at his disposal? How on earth is it going to lead to more correct decisions?
All it will lead to is us going with decisions that the referee isn't sure is right and the VR doesn't think is right and them being justified because 'it wasn't conclusive enough to over-rule him" It doesn't eliminate doubt from the refs mind, it just means when the decision isn't 100% clear, we go with the guess of the person with the least amount of information available to him.
