Poll: is video technology the way forward for football? You decide!

During the last week, the debate over the use of video technology to eradicate wrong decisions and injustices in football has reached fever pitch.

It is clear that something needs to be done to ensure that incidents such as last week's between France and Ireland are not allowed to happen again. Fifa have called crisis talks following the incident and will surely discuss the issue of the use of technology during this much-needed get-together. UEFA president Michel Platini favours the use of an extra official behind each goal to help make goal-related decisions, and there are many who believe this will be rolled out across the board following a trial period in this year's Europa League.

What do you think is the answer to this debate? Should video replay technology be introduced for the World Cup in 2010, or would Platini's suggestion be more effective? Is there some other form of technology that would be more accurate, such as the use of a modified Hawk-eye system?
