Should referees in Europe's top leagues be allowed to review video footage in order to make fair decisions? If so, under what circumstances? Does the referee decide when neither he nor his linesmen can say with certainty what has occurred on the pitch? Or should club managers be allowed a set number of video review per match, much like in the American NFL?
Will either of these slow down the pace of the game, and more importantly, how would stoppage time be determined should such a measure be introduced?
Or, would the introduction of in-match video review hurt the authority of Referees? Does it deteriorate the integrity of the game and the officials? Would the use of cameras dramatically, and perhaps negatively transform football as we know it?
Anyway, please leave your point of view. I haven't made up my mind, so if anyone has an informed opinion (or just a gut feeling) please share with us.

DEAR GOD YES!!! Soccer matches are determined on a small collection of plays and the decisions that are made of those plays. One play in American football, baseball, or basketball does not completely decide the game. A wrongly awarded goal, a blown call, or missed hand-ball could change the outcome of the match.
So Yes, it is needed.
