Redknapp calls for video replays
Spurs boss Harry Redknapp has called for the use of video replays following Howard Webb's refereeing blunder against Manchester United.Webb awarded United a penalty with Spurs leading 2-0 for Heurelho Gomes' challenge on Michael Carrick when replays showed little contact between the pair.The decision, which Webb has since admitted he got wrong, changed the game and Redknapp feels there is plenty of time in a match for the fourth official to review key moments before liaising with the match referee."He's an honest man. He's an honest referee. He's a top referee," he told Sky Sports News. "He made a ricket you know we all saw that, but what can you do now? It's done."I still think that the fourth official, who is stood by. What is he doing there? What is the fourth official's job really?"He should be looking at that monitor that is available there and key decisions like that would take 10,15 or 20 seconds for him to say 'Howard - not a penalty, he's played the ball'.Saturday's 5-2 defeat at Old Trafford left Spurs three points adrift of seventh-placed Fulham, but Redknapp insists his troops still have plenty to play for this season."There's a little group of us pushing for seventh. I'd like to do it. If we could do it I think it would be a good achievement to come from the bottom of the league to qualifying for Europe."I think it's something we'd all be pleased to do. We'll give it our best shot in the last few games and see what we can do."Redknapp is hoping to go one better and maybe push for a Champions League spot next season."It's very difficult to break into the top four, but you have to aim to be there if you can."Tottenham is a big club with great resources so there's no reason why we can't one day break into that top four."So let's see what we can do next year and if we can do it that would be fantastic."[LNB]
