West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce has insisted that techonology must be introduced to football in the near future.
Allardyce was left furious following Carlton Cole's red card in the loss to Everton on Saturday and believes that video technology can eradicate similar mistakes from the Premier League.
"The only way to make it better for us all is to bring technology into it," the Hammers manager said. "I always said that two and three challenges a game should be in our favour. We should be allowed it, should allow technology into the game.
"Forget about your old (Michel) Platinis, who are antiquated.
"I know they're in strong positions and they affect the game but they're not doing us any favours by not allowing technology to come into play.
"The technology today means it's done in less than two minutes, isn't it - at the absolute most."
West Ham are currently 12th in the Premier League.
