Arsène Wenger has welcomed the use of the Hawk-Eye system in the Premier League but the Arsenal manager claimed the new technology does not go far enough.

Wenger wants football to embrace more innovations – such as for key offside rulings – to help eradicate any perceived injustice, such as those in this week's Champions League quarter-finals at Borussia Dortmund when a controversial late goal knocked out Málaga.

The Arsenal manager said: "It's good news and I hope there is more good news to come on technology because we want the right decisions to be taken. The more assistance the referees get, the better it is.

"When you look at the level of refereeing that you have seen again in Europe this week, it is absolutely disastrous what happened. The major decisions that have gone wrong in the Champions League, football cannot accept that lasts.

"When you have four players offside and nobody sees it, how can that happen? In the same action, another player is offside and scores, and we stand here and defend that? It is not defendable."

Arsenal saw their hopes of Champions League success in the 2006 final scuppered by what Wenger felt was an offside goal. "I would at least like to see that in major decisions the referee has the opportunity to check if the goal is valid or not.

"I think you cannot say: 'We love football,' and accept that these decisions are made, and go home and say: 'OK, sorry, bad luck. Next time we come back.' For me it has nothing to do with financial involvement at all, [it is] just to do with justice."

Wenger added: "I don't believe [technology] would slow the game down at all if it is done in the right way. I am amazed we are just resistant by principle to move forward for more justice. If it is to get more decisions right then we all have to fight for it."

Wenger feels overall the standard of refereeing in the Champions League "has been very poor" this season with "many decisions that have been wrong".

On the use of an extra official behind each goal, he said: "The least you can say is that it is not convincing. I can show you an incident, when we played against Bayern Munich, the defender kicks the ball out in the corner, in front of the [extra] referee, the linesman gives a goalkick, the guy who is behind the line says nothing at all and he lets him give a goalkick."

Uefa, under the leadership of Michel Platini, continues to resist the introduction of goalline technology – meaning next season's European competitions will continue under the current format. Wenger said: "The controversy is not good for football. What is good for football is the right decisions.

"We all accept that if we play against a team that is better, and that we lost: 'Congratulations, bye-bye,' but it is frustrating to lose against a team when you know it's just down to the decision of the referee.

"For example in the first game, Paris Saint-Germain against Barcelona, they score a goal that is two metres offside. You have a guy behind the goalline and he doesn't say it was offside.

"You can go through all the games, there are major decisions that have gone wrong. We can say: 'Yes, that's part of the game,' or we can say: 'Let's try to improve it.' I am more willing to try to improve it and the technology can help."
