Last month, World Cup final referee Howard Webb voiced his support for the introduction of video technology to aid decision making in Barclays Premiership matches. “I don’t think you’ll find many referees who will say ‘it’s not something we want’,” he says. Well, considering that Mr. Webb usually has upwards of thirty thousand testosterone-fueled football fans berating his every lapse of judgement, his stance is understandable. The truth, however, is that although the many advocates of refereeing technology would rejoice in unison at its introduction, they would quickly realize that the sport they so love could become totally devoid of refereeing controversy. And where’s the fun in that?

The first thing to consider here is that despite its global appeal, the Barclays Premiership is an English league. And if there is one thing the English public love and indeed crave, it’s a little bit of controversy. Fans love to vent their fury at the referee for refusing to award a ‘stone wall’ penalty, or at the linesman who fails to notice the ball creeping 0.5mm over the goal line before it’s hacked back into play. These are the moments we debate so passionately over a post-match pint, that we discuss by e-mail when we should be filing reports. If the decision goes against our team, we call it a shambolic tragedy. If it goes in our favour, we will simply consider it justice for our wroungly dissallowed goal five matches ago. It's predictable, but would we really have it any other way?
