Mats Hummels Quotes

Baseball should adopt replay, plain and simple. If we can see it at home or on hand-held PDAs, the technology should be used in games.

Obviously you have to trust the VAR to make the right decision.

Goal-line technology is a good thing. The ref gets the signal and can decide based on that.

We've got to decide, how much replay do we want? Because if you start doing it from the first inning to the ninth inning, you may have to time the game with a calendar.

With goal-line technology, there are plenty of results that could be changed.

Clearly, I'm for the VAR.

All the major sports have video reviews, and for some reason, the Premier League, which is watched all around the world, is still in the dark ages.

I always said that VAR is a very important tool on objective and important decisions.

The appetite for more instant replay in the sport is very low.

I think VAR is a very healthy development within the industry.

By rule, the decision to reverse a call by use of instant replay is at the sole discretion of the crew chief.

I think so many things look like a penalty in slow motion.

I have always said that I am a friend of VAR.

I think retrospective viewing of diving is nearly more important than some of the technology they are on about bringing in. If you do that and players get banned, it wouldn't take long before you'd cut it out.

I'm glad to see goal-line technology working; we should have had it for years. I do believe we will soon see managers being allowed one, or two, challenges.

If I sit here and say I don't agree with VAR, I'd be lying.

In my view, technology should only be used on objective situations - offside, in or out of the box, over the line or not - but when it comes to subjective situations, people are never going to agree. That's sport.

At the top end I do think it's time we have goal-line technology, I'm not mad on other technology but certainly goal-line technology.

Distant replay morphs into instant replay, and future replay cannot be far off.

I remember when replay first came to TV. I can't remember who it was now, but a manager came out to beef about a call, and I ran him. He said he was going back into the clubhouse and watch replay. I told him, 'Go ahead. I am the replay.'

All models have faults - that doesn't mean you can't use them as tools for making decisions.

In all my years of play, I never saw an ump deliberately make an unfair decision. They really called them as they saw 'em.

The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.

Instant replay ought to be thrown out. Period. It's a game of imperfections. Why is that so bad for the game? Really, I think they are trying to make the game perfect. I'll tell you what: It will never, ever be perfect.

I umpired for 25 years and can honestly say I never called one wrong in my heart.
