Also, I think bad decisions are part of football. Adds to the drama of it all.
This simply isn't true. Rugby league has lost nothing from the introduction of video refereeing decisions.

That said, the only time I think we should ever use video technology in football is on decisions about whether the ball has crossed the goal line or not on tight calls.

Rugby league and football can't really be compared on this issue though.
