Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been reacting to Tim Spiers’ latest Twitter post on the club’s CCTV operations.
On Monday morning, the Athletic reporter for the Old Gold shared his latest article to Twitter in which he gave an alternative view on a matchday at Molineux (per Tim Spiers), which some supporters loved.

If you could completely remove technology from football today, including goal-line technology, would you do it?Yes, it is ruining the nature of the game
No, the pros far outweigh the cons of it

However, technology appeared to be a touchy subject for some following the Old Gold’s latest involvement, with VAR arguably costing the club two further points against Leicester City (per BBC).
During the clash with the Foxes, Wolves were Pedro Neto’s heel away from opening the scoring, however, it was chalked off and the game finished 0-0 (per BBC), leaving many of the Molineux faithful furious.
All those camera’s and they still can’t get the OFFSIDE RULE RIGHT ???

What do we think?
Judging from the responses from supporters, many are still reeling from the tight offside call which cost the Old Gold a victory at Molineux.
However, that is not really what Spiers’ article was about, more about the use of CCTV to keep supporters safe in the ground, which can only really be a good thing.
