Internationals 18 November 2009

[Rich]

I'd be amazed if something positive came out of this.

Best case scenario would be that FIFA finally cave in and bring in some level of technology to aid in the refereeing of the game.

I propose:

1/ Goal line technology to detect whether the whole of the ball has crossed the line.
2/ Similar in a way to Tennis, a team/Manager/Captain has an option to request that a decision is reviewed via TV replay - where the 4th Official has the final say. Or 5th Official in the stands if we think the 4th official will be influenced so close to the teams benches. If the decision is overturned then the team keeps its "option" to use again, however should the decision remain the team loses its ability for a further request.

Bahrain qualifier must be replayed

Monday, September 5, 2005; Posted: 3:37 p.m. EDT (19:37 GMT)

MANAMA, Bahrain -- Bahrain and Uzbekistan will have to replay their World Cup play-off first leg match after being ordered to do so by FIFA.

FIFA ordered the match to be replayed because of a mistake made by Japanese referee Toshimitsu Yoshida.

The Bahrain Football Federation have confirmed receiving a letter canceling the result, which was won 1-0 by the hosts last Saturday.

Yoshida ruled out a penalty scored by Server Djeparov because of encroachment in the area by a Uzbek team-mate - but crucially did not allow them to retake the penalty and awarded a freekick to Bahrain.

The new date for first leg will be October 8 in Tashkent and the second leg in Manama on October 12.

Both teams have never qualified for the World Cup finals. The winner will play the fourth placed team from CONCACAF for the right to go through to the finals.



But because it is france, well there is not much chance of a replay.

But that was a technical mistake by the ref.
The ref didn't see the handball last night.
