They told Emirates Today: "The application of video refereeing technology in the current form has a very big role in the issue of the many pauses during the game, and the referees committee in the Football Federation must work to find a solution to this problem, as well as a solution to the problem of the absence of an imaginary line in the stadium. , Which helps the referee video to make the decision as quickly as required, as happened in the match between Sharjah and Al Ain in the third round of the league when the video referee canceled a correct goal for the eye because there is no imaginary line in the stadium helps (the mouse) in making the right decision in such delicate and difficult cases » .
The athletes pointed out that video technology and the judges of the stadiums are not only responsible for the many pauses that occur during the game, but the players also have a big role in this aspect, so it must be working to educate players and technical and administrative bodies that the many pauses during the game is not in the interest of developing the game.
For his part, the former member of the Board of Directors of the Football Association, Dr. Salim Al Shamsi, that the referee in the video technology room has become more important than the referee arena, because «mouse» has a significant role in increasing the time of the game, pointing out that this is due to the slow use of this technology That is optimally used in Europe, so that there is no interference to the video referee in the game only when absolutely necessary.
He added: «In my estimation (mouse) caused the increase of the league games time by calculating more time than usual because in each case occurs during the game is resorted to this technique, and before the application was added overtime during the game does not exceed four or Only five minutes".
Al-Shamsi added: "The judges of the stadiums should rely on themselves to make the decisive decisions during the games instead of relying on (the mouse) in both large and small."
Salim al-Shamsi pointed out that if the situation continues in this way so that the referee video dominate everything that happens in the game, the character of the referee arena will be lost and his role becomes marginal.
For his part, the former manager of Al-Nasr football team Khaled Obeid, that he is against the many stops during the game and against the interventions «mouse» in every small and large.
“Obviously the referee during the game is responsible for the safety of the players, so he will stop playing in case of injury to any player or exhaustion, as well as stopping to give the players the opportunity to drink water because of the high humidity and the heat of the weather.”
He stressed the need to educate players and technical and administrative staff not to resort to waste time during the game, because this is unhealthy and does not serve the game.
In turn, former vice president of Fujairah Football Company Sultan Al Sharaa said that the video technology in European leagues is intervening in arbitration cases quickly without any kind of slow, in order to avoid affecting the smoothness of the game, pointing out that it is unreasonable to reach the calculated time instead It is lost in one game in the Arabian Gulf League, a game of Bani Yas and Al Wahda in the third round to about 14 minutes, demanding the importance of using video refereeing technology optimally, considering that the many pauses during the game negatively affect the level of players and in the «Rtm» game in general, Pointing to a This may cause injury to players.
Former Al Wasl coach Hassan Polo stressed that the many pauses during the game and the calculation of a large extra time is not in the interest of the game, stressing that it is assumed that the subject of calculating time instead of lost the powers of the fourth official and not the referee of the arena, the latter must focus in making internal decisions on the game While the fourth referee does not have many roles during the game, and he is better able to estimate the circumstances surrounding, considering that the referee of the arena is to decide the extra time according to his estimates.
“There are some special cases of mouse where the referee takes a long time to discuss with the video, sometimes up to two or three minutes, although it should take only 20 to 30 seconds,” Hassan Polo said. The goal canceled Al Ain during the match against Sharjah in the third round of the Gulf Arab League took a long time, and in the end came the decision (mouse) wrong ».
He said: «In some obvious cases of the game, such as offside, during which the referee does not take a long time to make a decision, and there is no reason to go to the referee screen video to watch the situation».

The former head of the referees committee in the Football Association, Mohamed Omar, said that he is surprised that there are arbitration errors affecting the results of the games despite the existence of the referee's video technique, which he described as auxiliary technology, and should have contributed to the absence of arbitration errors or at least reduce them, saying that There is a flaw in the application of this technique because despite the introduction of the application of the third year, it has not been applied correctly in some games, although these cases were clear, stressing that when the need to review the application of the referee video in the league, it comes out of public interest , Confirming that this technique The accredited by the International Federation of Football is a help to the referee in the game management, especially in the micro-cases that are difficult for the referee to see with the naked eye, pointing to the importance of making use of them as required, pointing out that there are clubs benefited from the application of «mouse» and other damaged.
"There is a defect in the room (the mouse) and must be repaired, because this technique is supposed to contribute to the absence of arbitration errors or reduce them significantly," said Omar.
Mohamed Omar stressed the importance of not depending on the referee arena video referee in the management of the game, but on his personality and high physical fitness, as well as cooperation with the referees and players.
