TELEVISION REPLAY EVIDENCE IN FOOTBALL MATCHES

Early day motion 146, tabled 19 November 2009 by Angus MacNeil (Scottish National Party). Signed by 24 members.

That this House calls on FIFA to cease its opposition to the introduction of television replay evidence in televised football matches, a position that denies referees the best possible means of doing their job, that leads to demonstrably unjust decisions and outcomes of matches, and blemishes the reputations of great players who are tempted to deceive the referee and the wider public audience.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Liberal Democrat 3, Scottish National Party 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Conservative 1.
