00:00 I think it's a good thing and the idea of it is good to get the right decisions, but

00:07 it's not happening and that's a problem.

00:11 There is nothing better than scoring a goal and you should be able to celebrate it and

00:16 not worry that it's going to be chalked off.

00:20 I feel like it's almost a point now, whenever there's a goal scored, you're looking for

00:26 something for it to be ruled out.

00:29 I think that's sad for players to have to be that way because the adrenaline of scoring

00:35 a goal in a Premier League game or in your country, there is no better feeling.

00:42 If it's taken away, it's taken away, but when you've got to stand there for three minutes,

00:45 four minutes, you've got to be able to celebrate those moments.

00:51 They're what you play the game for.

00:53 So unless it gets better, then they're going to have to get rid of it and that's wrong

01:00 because you do want the right decisions in football games.

01:04 But I don't know whether you just go to a point where now you just go like in American

01:09 football, the manager gets a challenge, you get two or three challenges in the match,

01:15 so it doesn't become 100-minute football matches.
