I do see the argument for video evidence - but from both sides of the coin

Here's a decent article, 5 years old, on it

As a Chelsea fan, we've suffered heavily from lack of video evidence (Garcia's 'ghost goal' in a CL semi-final) but I still don't want it.

Let's take the CL and cups out of the equation, though - the main reason I don't want it is because for all my years watching football referees have made mistakes, it's as much a part of the game as the mistimed tackle, the slip, the error of judgement, the own goal, the flukey deflection.

I'd hate to see football go the way of american football, rugby, tennis (sorry SCC) etc, really would
