Refereeing question

I think it should be given a go nut i dont think it can work , i dont think it would slow the game down , will a video ref really take that long to view the replay , will Gary neville have even finished giving out to the ref by the time the verdict comes back .

Any game you watch on tv sky have shown the replay 5 or 6 times and then it goes back to the game and the players are still moaning .

But i cant see it working there is just not enough cameras out there to monitor every game if you think about it you will need a camera on the goal line ( 2 ) following the ball so thats a min of 3 per pitch . Thats ok in the prem league when sky have cameras at every ground but what if the camera does nt have a good angle or misses the incident , What happens if the ref calls for the vid ref then he comes back and says i dont know !!! there is no way it would work in say the Irish league where most first div games have no camera's at the game at all .

What if players start looking for it for everything you could claim and offside is just as important as a goal mouth scramble , what if he is onside and the ref gives it offside then the vid over rules him does the attacker get the free kick ? its hardly the same to have a one one reduced to a free kick .

I just think it would lead to more problems than it would solve , No harm looking into it though .

they are talking about bringing it in but only for goals. it wont be used for offsides or freekicks or punch ups or anything else.

Classic.

Something similar happened last night - a Hammarby sub was booked, never coming on. he swang at billy woods.

he souldve been sent off for that. that would just mean he wasnt allowed to be used. bit **** really, it should also take away a sub nuber, ie: if 3 subs arepermitted to be made, this should use up one of them

I cant see how they can decide that a "ball over the line" incident is any more important to the out come of the game than a onside goal ruled offside .

I dont think it can work , id like to see the if the ref has ruled on it rule thrown out , you know where someone stamps on a player but the ref only books him nothing more can be done after the game .

il agree with you here. it is pure daft. if we miss an incident in the game that a camera picks up, then disiplinary measures should be enforced. it should not be down to the ref to change his mind in his report because most refs are such arogant b*****ds that they wont accept that they made a mistake. for some reason they see themselves above everyone else, which i dont understand seeing as it takes a one hour course to become one, although you are continually assessed.

Most players act like kids so why shouldn't refs treat them so?
