Fundamentally I still think people are in favour of the concept rather than the reality of it. The idea that bad decisions will be eradicated from the game, or even reduced significantly, through use of technology sounds great. Who wouldn't love that? It's the whole waiting around for minutes on end thing that I don't think people will be too keen on once they experience it. Sadly I think it's going to have to be introduced and allowed to fail before some people realise it. It's going to need the "Oh, this is a bit shit, isn't it?" penny to drop.
And the penny will drop. Whether it's discontent over how long it's taking to make a decision on a penalty incident, or annoyance that we've scored a 91st injury time winner against City and celebrations are immediately cut short it takes another 8 before we find out if it's allowed to stand. But as I say I don't think people will ever unwed themselves from the idea that it's the miracle goose that lays golden eggs until they see its flaws manifest themselves before their eyes. Which is why, sadly, I do think roll-out of it is inevitable.
