Football authorities are being encouraged to use video in an effort to eliminate highly disputable refereeing. The call for video is being led by Ian Holloway, the Blackpool boss. Holloway feels that Blackpool has been dealt dirty this year by refereeing decisions.
The latest debate sprang up during Manchester United’s match versus Tottenham, when referee Mark Clattenburg decided not to award a free kick on an obvious handball by Nani.
The problem came when Spurs’ keeper Heorelho Gomes set the ball down, assuming a free kick, and Nani tapped it into the net instead.
Blackpool’s Holloway feels as though these things do not always balance themselves in the season; even though he would have to say that equilibrium was achieved for Blackpool during their recent win against West Brom.
