The Bavarian giants’ head coach has given his opinion on the errors made in Borussia Dortmund's loss to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881, by urging officials to be given extra help from the fourth officials
Bayern Munich team trainer Jupp Heynckes has asked for video evidence to be sought following reigning champions’ Borussia Dortmund’s bad luck, as they faced a defeat against VfL Wolfsburg by the help of a mistake by the referee
on Saturday. As a result of this, the BVB are now 14 points behind league leaders Bayern.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcel-Schmelzer-c23530 was given his marching orders by Wolfgang Stark for an alleged handball on the goal-line. However, the video footage showed that the ball only touched the knee. This incident helped Wolfsburg
and they came back into the game from 1-0 down and won 3-2.
Der FCB manager feels that these errors are very costly and can be dealt with the aid of technology. He claimed that he has been telling people for a long time to have another official monitoring the video footage of the match.
He can then inform the referee if it is a red card or a handball to sort out this issue.
"For years now I keep saying the fourth official should sit in front of a monitor and tell the referee if it is no handball and no red card - like in Dortmund," he was quoted as saying in an interview.

"It takes two or 10 seconds. I do not understand why there is such a lack of flexibility. They always say: It's not possible. Of course it is,” the former Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao boss added.

"If a coach freaks out on the sideline, it is being communicated to the referee right away," the former striker finally concluded.
UEFA president http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-c25453 Platini has opposed the idea of goal-line technology and branded it as too costly. Nevertheless, Heynckes believes that the footballing authorities should adapt to the changes in the game. He said it will
just take a few seconds to know the decision from the fourth official, and will cause no extra delay to the games.
