Date of Lodging: 06 September 2011

Short Title: Integrity of Football

S4M-00790 ♦ Stuart McMillan () (Scottish National Party): That the Parliament recognises the current debate in the game of football regarding the introduction of electronic monitoring *to help assist officials in making the correct decision, as once again highlighted by the recent international game in Glasgow*; notes that other sports throughout the world, including cricket, hockey, rugby and tennis, utilise video technology to indicate whether a decision given by officials is in fact the correct decision; further notes that many people involved in the game of football believe that video technology should be introduced in order to help prevent dubious decisions from affecting the outcome of a match, and would welcome an examination of the potential benefits of introducing added technology to the game.
