The International Football Association Board maintain organisations can use footage as they know what is “most appropriate and effective for their local football environment”, but secretary Lukas Brud insists they must wait until the referee has made a final call in order to protect officials. “We do not allow decision-making footage to be shown while it is under consideration.” Brud believes the technology will take as long as “10 years to perfect” with 130 incidents already assessed in the opening two weeks of the Premier League season.
