No, that's the worst kind of decision for a video ref

If there is any contact whatsoever, even a brush - then you have to give a foul. How do you even start to determine whether or how much it affected the other player?

Video refs need to have straightforward decisions to make and in football, there are very, very few.

        hence the panel. A couple of seconds is sufficient for 5 people to press a button (Other Football) - Worzel Scrimmage, Aug 17, 20:32:23
