Use Technology to Count Mr. Poll's Yellow Cards

Arsene Wenger has backed weekend calls from Aidy Boothroyd and Mark Hughes for Premiership referees to use video technology on key decisions. Wenger's press release finishes "...But what is even more surprising is that the referees don't want to use it. It's amazing." And one might ask why referees wouldn't want to improve the likelihood of making a correct decision? No technology leads to more randomised results.
This is one of the points that was covered in "A Structure to Avoid Corruption (Part 1)" on this site on November 13th. Just using the available technology would significantly reduce the scope for the corruption in football betting markets as outcomes would be determined by a grouping of people rather than just one.
