ARSENE WENGER HAS called for the use of video technology to ensure correct decisions are made on tight offside calls following Aaron Ramseyโs disallowed goal against Liverpool.
Ramsey was flagged offside at the Emirates Stadium on Monday, although replays suggested he had been played onside by Martin Skrtel, while officials had failed to spot Philippe Coutinhoโs stray run in the build-up to Liverpoolโs goal against Bournemouth a week previous.
And Wenger had urged the footballing authorities to consider incorporating video technology โ to be used at the discretion of the referee โ for such situations.
โDo you think that we will play football in 50 years without [video technology]? I donโt believe so,โ he told reporters. โI am convinced that it will come in and that the next step will be the offside rule because itโs maybe the easiest one to bring in.โ
โHow will it happen? I believe on the demand of the referee. The sooner the better. Tomorrow morning you would have my signature.
