Mouse technique

The game of football was in dire need, for a long time, for technology such as video technology (mouse), to avoid the injustice inflicted on many teams, teams and players, in many international, continental and local tournaments.

Most professional leagues have started applying the "mouse" technology, in addition to the "falcon eye" technique that detects whether the ball has entered the goal or not. With the entry of technology into football, some believe that we have lost the real fun in this game, while others believe that this technique is very good. It is a late but necessary step, and between supporters and opponents, football has witnessed in the recent period many amendments to its laws.

The "mouse" technique in particular needs to be modified in order to reduce the waste of time, with decisions being made quickly. This technique has witnessed many criticisms. Some decisions were not right for the referees even after using it, but a large percentage of players and coaches adhere to this technique. Which contributed to some extent in achieving justice and equality between clubs, and this debate remains between who counts the game around which the debate revolves, is the referee the "mouse" sitting in the studio to watch the game or the referee on the pitch?

Although there are many flaws about this technology, and it really needs adjustments, its presence is important and necessary in football, and it has not lost us much fun, hoping that it will be better applied because some referees do not apply this technique as they should.

Faced with all these criticisms and different opinions, between supporters and opponents, we can only wait for more time for the rulers to fully master this technique, so as not to provoke anger and controversy when resorting to it every time.

In the first round of the first leg matches in the Arab Gulf Professional Cup, we saw some unacceptable arbitration errors, and if the "mouse" was present, it would have solved many of the arbitration cases that occurred during the matches, and the Football Association and coordination with the Professional League League should have applied technology The "mouse" from the first round of the matches of the Arab Gulf Cup for professionals, because the competition system this season differs from the previous seasons, which were in the group system. Each group consists of seven teams and plays among themselves, but this season the matches are played in the back and forth system of two matches only. And with the loss of the competition from the competition, and there is no room for compensation in the upcoming matches, so that injustice does not happen to any team and the club is removed from the competition early because of the lack of recognition of the "mouse" technology.
