Video trial must be fair, says Venables

Leeds manager Terry Venables believes the Football Association should adopt a definitive stance over with regard to putting players on trial by video.

Manchester United skipper David Beckham and Arsenal striker Thierry Henry have both escaped such a prospect this week, although the latter was made to sweat by the FA over the last few days while it was decided whether to call in the video advisory panel.

Beckham was quickly informed his elbow on Leeds midfielder Lee Bowyer in his side’s 1-0 defeat at Elland Road would not be reviewed as referee Jeff Winter awarded a free-kick, with no further action taken.
