I'm fine with that as well. That's what the official did here.Fuck challenges. It should only be available to the ref and is as simple as a ref saying to the video ref via his mic that he wants to review an incident. Play doesn't even have to stop whilst the potential infringement is being reviewed. If the infringement is worthy of a free kick etc then play is pulled back, if not nothing stops and play continues. Occasionally as with the example in the video it can happen after an incident where the ref has already blown, but wants to review his own decision again.
Football needs to catch up and the old excuse that it will slow the game down etc is tiresome. If it's really that shit then they can just scrap it, but no, we carry on making excuses about what will happen and why it's a bad idea based on nothing more than assumptions
