QPR chief Amit Bhatia wants cricket video challenge for football

QPR chief Amit Bhatia wants an appeals system to be introduced into football.

The Rs were beaten 1-0 by Chelsea on Saturday, with Juan Mata's winner coming from the spot after Clint Hill was penalised by referee Mike Dean for an innocuous push on Daniel Sturridge.

Bhatia, QPR's co-owner and vice-chairman, made his point via Twitter, saying: "I'm convinced it's time to allow the challenge system in football.

"Almost all other sports around the world allow it now. We have to have some kind of video replay system so that harsh decisions can be reviewed. So much (is) at stake in every game.

"Mistakes are made (because) decisions are difficult and that's fine, but why not allow those difficult decisions to be reviewed?

"One challenge per half per manager wouldn't slow the game any more than 30 seconds. I think it's gotta happen."
