More Calls For Video Technology

Last updated : 10 March 2011 By Jamie Cleland

According to a survey on Top Fan, 87.59% of those who responded to a poll are in favour of video technology.

85.3% favoured technology being used for goal-line decisions ahead of video replays and mico-chipped balls or another assistant being used as happens in Europa League games.

Of those who objected to video technology, the main reason why, was that it breaks up the continuity of the game.

I'm now working on an online survey with a colleague at Staffordshire University on fans' views towards the lack of black managers or coaches in professional football. Chris Powell and Paul Ince are the only two black managers out of 92 involved in either the Premier or Football League. It would be great to hear your thoughts on this. The address is: http://www.topfan.co.uk - it will only take you 2 minutes (8 questions).
