Coleman said: "I saw Sam Allardyce was annoyed that the earpieces were being used. He was partly angry because he hadn't been told the officials would have them.

"But I'm a great fan of them. I was watching the rugby on the weekend and saw them being used successfully then.

"If rugby can use them, then why not football too? Football is the biggest game in the world so there is no reason why this technology can't be used.

"At Fulham I have a television screen in the dug out and can call-up replays within eight seconds. If Fulham can afford something like that why can't the Premiership?"
