After seeing their UEFA Champions League dreams come crashing down under referee controversy, Guus Hiddink feels that technology and instant replay should play a role.
Hiddink has seen sports such as NFL and rugby league successfully adopt video technology and he feels referees should be given assistance for crucial decisions.
"In other sports like rugby and American football they have the ability to use technology at vital moments," he said. "Everyone wait five seconds for the video referee before making a decision."

"It can be done only on key moments that make a difference to the outcome of the game otherwise it would stop the game too much. The video referee must have authority to overrule the first man in charge."
"In rugby and American football when the video decision is made, that's the decision. It's a fact that if technology had been in use we would be in the Champions League final now."
"It would help a lot what is a difficult job for the referee when they have to make crucial decisions. It's up to Uefa whether they act."
