No Goal Line Technology

The referee is allowed linesmen to help him in making decisions. They might see something from a different angle from him and alert him to an infringement. So what about having an official watching the game on a monitor, its basically just watching the game from a different viewpoint and he would be radio linked to the ref the same as the other officals. Im not saying he should be able to watch replays 10 times and call the game back for something a minute later but it only takes a couple of seconds to see something a 2nd time if that is even needed

Didnt the 4th offical see Zidane headbutting Matterazi on a replay and called the refs attention to it from that?

So the story goes with Zidane. FIFA said the 4th official saw it, the press that he watched a monitor. there's only 1 person in the world who really knows.

Theres not much i can say why its different that isn't repeating myself. But it won't be full proof. It will slow the game up, there will still be mistakes and disagreements, and I don't fell that moves things on any further than were we are now.

no I dont think it will ever be possible to get all the controversial decisions right from a refs point of view but my last point on it would be that refs should get all the help they can get
