Agreed; can of worms that can't be opened. I'd still like to see Henry banned, don't care for how long - although maybe from the finals :) I'd like refs to start using technology. Either side of the fence, pretty much everyone wants the right decision every time. The disruption caused by possibly a few at most small stoppages during a match is well worth it. If millions of people can sit watching the telly while one man receives treatment for an often minor injury for over 2 minutes, why on earth would any of us mind a 30 second delay while the on field ref consults the tv ref? Whether or not you think it's OK to cheat when it's your own team in the dying minutes of the biggest game ever, there needs to be a process for when things go wrong. Great post Colin.
