It’s coming now. Colonel, you’d better remove the penalty

 

“I have a very good feeling,” says Tomas Bárta, the League’s Executive Director, who watched the video test and discussed the situation with the first video-hitner, Roman Hrubeš, who is also the main instructor of video-learning. If it was raining, the league could have a revolutionary moment on Saturday: reviewing a situation that could significantly change the game’s development.

It was not seen at first glance, but the cameras revealed that Slavia received a criminal gift against Jihlava, who did not deserve it. It does not reduce the 2: 0 fictitious win, but the penalty kick was to be canceled. Defending Stepanek fouled the Titus midfielder just before the sixteen.Whatever the referee’s eyes did not catch, it’s clear from the record.

But video judging is (in the) offline mode. What if he could warn the colleague on the pitch?

Within a few seconds, Zelinka would have heard on the headphones that the situation falls under the “Watch, it should be reviewed” category. Slavi Škoda might be able to put the balloon on the dot, but that would be all. Meanwhile, Zelinka would have looked at the shot in question, which revealed the original mistake, and instead of the penalty would just direct a kick.

Although…maybe he would not have to, because the final verdict belongs only to the Chief Judge. Video advises, warns, recommends. “We can have different angles of view on the same thing, but I think the video has a future,” says Bárta.

What a change!Football was fundamentally opposed, the technology refused. Compared to rugby or tennis, it was like a dinosaur whose development stopped at the time of the Cretaceous. Now, something is happening at last.

The power of the technology first hit in December at the World Championships. Kassai’s Hungarian judge, at first, overlooked the foul in the penalty area, and then the video helper warned him to explore the controversial moment. Kassai then flew to the monitor and with a two-minute delay ordered a penalty for the Japanese Kashima.

In the Czech Republic, such a moment could occur not earlier than next summer.The league is still testing as well as eleven other competitions.

On the weekend, the video-watcher watched the matches of Slavia and Sparta, proving that at least one situation is worthwhile in each match. Above all, it is a tricky time to score, not to be punished or to give a red card.

Since video judging is in no contact with the main barrel, all embargo information is subject. They are then sent to the University of Leu, who is in charge of the research. Only Belgian experts in co-operation with Harvard and International Regulatory Commission IFAB will determine the next trend. Is video suitable? Does not it explode during an experience?Does not it hold too much?

We can think that the questions should be answered long ago, but let’s be over. It’s good that football is kicking. And headed by the League Association and the Czech Top Competition.
