Pierluigi Collina: Technology To Assist Referees Is Needed
The former whistle-blower has lobbied for a solution to deal with controversial incidents such as Henry's handball...
Collina has spoken following France's infamous World Cup play-off success over Ireland. Thierry Henry's handball lead to the move that saw Les Bleus score the goal that led to qualification.
"Today's technology is moving rapidly compared to how good man can be in improving himself," Collina told Radio Anchio Lo Sport.
"A solution needs to be found. I think judges behind the goals in Paris would or could have helped the referee to see what happened better.
"Henry's incident lasts just a few seconds and the referee may have had a feeling by seeing the players react, but there are times when you don't see something on the pitch."
