Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has called for managers to be given the chance to query decisions during matches with on-the-spot video replays. He says managers should be allowed to use three 'jokers' per game to challenge decisions.

Wenger believes the off-beat idea could help to cut out diving. He argues there is simply too much at stake in the game not to use the benefits of TV replays in a limited form, such as when penalties are awarded.

"Maybe in future we will have three video interventions possible during the game that you can use tactically. Each team would have those three moments where they could say 'stop, we challenge the decision of the referee and want the video panel to have a look at it. It's difficult to accept that you can lose big games without having a moment where you can say `listen referee, you can be wrong, we know that, but I'd like a chance to look at that again'."


Whaddya think? Wenger whining, or does he have a valid point?
 
thatd stop the flow of the game, so no ....
 
If Wenger was a more honest guy regarding the behaviour of his own players then I would give his suggestions some credibility. But this guy is only deflecting attention away from the fact his team have picked up 40+ red cards since his arrival. Maybe he should first sort out affairs in his own house and then consider making the premiership a better place to play football.

As regards to timeouts for instant replays, not a good idea as we'd be copying the Americans. And that is never a good idea! <img src="graemlins/houllier.gif" border="0" alt="[Houllier]" />

It works in the NFL because it's an episodical sport anyway. Play happens, team regroups, another play happens - and it's not too much of a drag to replay a questionable call between plays. Football on the other hand is constantly flowing and would suffer tremendously if the match were stopped on every questionable call.

My advice to Wenger. Focus on the fact that your team is the dirtiest team in the Prem in terms of yellow and red cards since your managerial tenure began. Clean up your players act and you may not have to worry this much about replays.
 
it would maybe be worth a try to have a guy in the stands who can challenge "important decisions" like red cards, goals or penalties
 
so he's a German and a twat? Just joking Jens! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" />

It works in Hockey too. And is used in the NBA/MLB.
