Cant imagine F1 races without it - the graphics, laptimes, updates, onboard cameras etc

Whilst it's ok in cricket, I think it's taken something away from the game- they should have stopped at video umpires, but now they also rely on sound, heat cameras etc.

Football - would love to see a goal-line camera (in the posts) and an option for video checks.

Tennis seem to have the right balance :agree:

Hope that makes some sense :greengrin

Good luck!

Tennis has benefitted from using it, like the way the player has 2 challenges per set and if he's right he keeps the challenge.

Rugby uses it when there is a bit of uncertainty like tries, whether a player was offside during a kick and whether his foot touches the line.

American football uses video very similar to rugby, for controversial decisions, also the coach has challenges per half and keeps them if he'e proved right.

Cricket has been using it also, similar to the tennis thing where the ball line is projected and the computer tells you if it hits the stumps.

Football is getting faster all the time and the ref cannot keep up, he needs someone watching a video replay to help out.
