De Vos Calls For Technology

Town captain Jason De Vos has once called for the increased use of technology to help referees make the correct decision in games.

Town were denied a goal or at least penalty a Saturday when a QPR defender handled the ball from behind or on the goal line in the final minutes of Town's 0-0 draw which has lead to De Vos calling for more technology in football.

De Vos: "We had no luck in terms of decisions. We should have had a penalty in the first half and we scored a legitimate goal in the second half - the video shows that.

"Unfortunately the referees and their assistants don't have the benefit of replays during the match, so we have to lick our wounds and be happy with the point we have.

"In fairness to the linesman he said he could not see it because there were bodies in the way and that is fair enough. If you can't see it you can't give it, but the video shows it was a goal and we feel very hard done by.

"It was an entertaining game from the neutral's perspective, but from our stand point we feel we should have come away with the three points."
