Saw this little nugget on ESPN earlier

I can't see how this is a bad idea given the quality and consistency of officiating in the league. Also glad to see Bundesliga adopting it which gives it a lot of credibility.

Yes this will hopefully be good.

I still hope that MLS also works on training and paying their refs better.

Its about time.

I'm very looking forward to having some common sense prevail here.

Everyone watching at home generally knows whats going on on the pitch better than the refs do due to all the video angles... why not impart that knowledge back to the guys making the calls?

No brainer.
