After a disappointing and frustrating day in Melbourne, Wellington Phoenix coach Ernie Merrick is hoping the introduction of video replays will help his side climb the A-League table.The Phoenix were beaten 2-1 by Melbourne City at AAMI Park on Sunday in match with two penalties, nine yellow cards and plenty of line-ball calls.Referee Kurt Ames had a busy day but Merrick disagreed with his decision to give City captain Bruno Fornaroli a penalty for the decisive goal.Rather than spray the official, who returned to A-League refereeing this season after a four-year absence, Merrick preferred to talk up a way of helping him out - video refereeing.We need it and we need it now, he said on Sunday night.Youve got to have video refereeing.Its been proven to be more accurate in every other professional game.The sooner we get accuracy on penalty kicks and offside calls, the better.Im sure it will be difficult to begin with but then it will be more streamlined and the game will be a much more honest game.The A-League has been chosen by FIFA as a test market for video refereeing in the new year, along with five other major footballing nations.FFA chief David Gallop has championed the idea, with Victory boss Kevin Muscat and Sydney FC chief executive Tony Pignata among the fans.Merrick suggested a number of decisions would have been overturned from Sundays loss, and they might have made all the difference.In the first half he called Kosta Barbarouses offside when he was onside and it continually happens to us, he said.Weve been called eight times offside when our players were onside.Look at Bulut for Wanderers the other day, it just keeps happening.The key decision was the 70th minute awarding of a free kick to Fornaroli, which Merrick suggested was contrived by the Uruguayan.If you watch Bruno, hes got hold of the shirt of Marco Rossi and he goes for an overhead kick, he said.He nearly kicks Marco in the face, misses the ball and pulls Marco down on top of him.Marco gets a yellow card and he gets a penalty ... that really killed us.When video referees come in those situations will resolve themselves so much better.City coach John van t Schip disagreed with Merricks view of the Fornaroli winner, backing Ames calls on both penalties.The referee in those two occasions made the right decision, he said.

CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs fans waited 71 years to celebrate a return to the World Series.Overjoyed fans streamed out of Wrigley Field and into the streets Saturday night after the Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series to earn their first trip to the World Series since 1945.Many people donned Cubbie blue and held W flags. Two people climbed a traffic pole, with one man shimmying all the way to the end. Police said he was later arrested, as were a couple of fans who lit fireworks.A majority of the crowd, however, celebrated the victory peacefully. Many took selfies in front of the stadium and hugged one another. Some also broke out in song, while others shook up beer bottles and sprayed the crowd.Police officers, including about a dozen cops on horseback, kept a close eye on the crowd. And some officers were seen giving high-fives to fans as they walked by.Brian Dusza, who was at Wrigley for Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, never thought hed see the team win the pennantI never thought Id see it, Dusza, 49, said after attending Saturdays game. I cant even describe what Im feeling.Among the few thousand fans who stayed in their seats an hour after the game ended was Ed KKoenig of Darien.dddddddddddd His eyes welled up as he talked about his father, who died in May.He never got to see this, Koenig said. I havent been to a game this season without him and when my friend won a lottery for these tickets, I thought `how am I going to go without my dad?But his friend convinced him to go.I have his watch on, Koenig said, showing off the watch on his wrist. I thought I was going without my dad, but Im with him.Before the game, Steve Zucker said that if the team won, he would go to his fathers grave and leave him a Cubs hat and T-shirt.My dad died playing cards, listening to the game on a little transistor radio, so I may bring that, too, Zucker said.Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks said after the game that this win and trip to the World Series was for the fans.I hope they enjoy this. They have been waiting a long time, Hendricks said. Best fans in the baseball, most dedicated fans, and they deserve a lot more of these.The Cubs will face the Cleveland Indians in Game 1 on Tuesday, with the series returning to Wrigley Field for Game 3 on Friday.
