Arsene Wenger has called for the introduction of video replays after Aaron Ramsey's wrongly disallowed goal in Arsenal's draw against Liverpool on Monday night
Ramsey appeared to have fired Arsenal into the lead during the first half of the Emirates Stadium clash, but his goal was wrongly chalked off
The Wales international was flagged offside, but television replays proved his goal should have stood
Following the 0-0 stalemate, Ramsey said it was time for football to turn to technology, and Wenger, speaking ahead of his side's trip to Newcastle on Saturday echoed his midfielder's sentiments
Wenger said: "Do you think we will play football in 50 years without that [technology]? I don't believe so
"I am convinced that it will come in and that the next step will be the offside rule because it is maybe the easiest one to bring in
I believe it will happen on the demand of the referee."
Asked when the technology may be introduced, Wenger said: "The sooner the better
Tomorrow morning you would have my signature - not because we were punished for that goal against Liverpool - but because you want justice and the right decisions to be made."
Arsenal head to Newcastle for Saturday's lunch-time kick-off in the midst of an indifferent start to their season.
