Perhaps it should be like cricket Sidious Send a noteboard - 28/06/2010 10:15:41 AM
The flow of the game changes a lot more when a blatant horrible call is made than it would if the referee had to take 30 seconds to make a call. And there could be limits on it, just like in every other sport. They could give 1 or 2 replays to each coach for the entire game.

There would still be horrible calls (like red cards on flops) but at least goals would have the right call.


In cricket the captain of the team is allowed 3 appeals on a decision, and the umpire has to refer it to the third umpire for television analysis. If the decision is overturned, he keeps his appeal chance, but if the captain referred foolishly, he loses it.

Deciding on a goal isn't really a problem - it seems like yesterday was the first true problem as to whether the ball crossed the line.

The problems seem to be those centered around human error, namely yellow and red cards, and off-sides.

I think there should be retribution for the atrocious World Cup refereeing Sidious - 28/06/2010 08:09:30 AM 1161 Views

There are many red + yellow card decisions that are still unclear after checking TV footage, though ironclad - 28/06/2010 10:40:31 AM 873 Views
Yes - but offsides might be tough Sidious - 28/06/2010 04:00:49 PM 875 Views
Italy also had one ball that might have crossed the line *NM* Floffe - 28/06/2010 01:58:28 PM 376 Views

Should only be done for goals. The game already stops for goals, so it wouldnt ruin the flow *NM* The Count - 02/07/2010 01:24:29 AM 400 Views

Indeed. Germany played better overall, but were definitely on the back foot end of the first half. *NM* Liam - 28/06/2010 09:36:27 AM 377 Views

I wonder if that's really true Sidious - 28/06/2010 10:16:49 AM 823 Views
Technology? Bah. Platini's experiment would work well. jh - 28/06/2010 11:16:54 AM 833 Views
Apparently there's already very good tech that knows whether a ball is over the line. Liam - 28/06/2010 11:35:50 AM 908 Views
It'd be easy to implement, at least in the goal... jh - 28/06/2010 11:56:43 AM 888 Views
I love how you include De Rossi's supposed dive... Dragonsoul - 28/06/2010 01:43:26 PM 810 Views
I don't think he deliberately left out any of the mistakes. callandor1000 - 28/06/2010 03:14:18 PM 877 Views
If we are going to engage in the game of "may", then we should be fair . . . The Shrike - 28/06/2010 01:47:18 PM 973 Views
The offsides rule should be changed - it should be like hockey..... trzaska2000 - 28/06/2010 07:42:35 PM 748 Views
Yeah, right. *NM* jh - 28/06/2010 09:25:42 PM 368 Views
