    Video Referees in Football?

    Seems worthy of a new thread given the events of the weekend and the discussion in the post match thread. Here's where we got to.

Then it is the Video refs call, and even if you disagree in the slightly debatable ones you just have to live with it (ths is how it happens with tries in Rugby, some are impossible to call, but the teams live with the video refs decision). Any instance where the forwards leg is left in should not be a pen, it is cheating every time.

    How ****ing hard would that be to implement? Not hard at all
    It would certainly discourage the diving, imagine having a dive like Youngs highlighted on a big screen during the game. He'd look a complete ****.

I've seen the odd counter argument - and the same applies to goal-line technology - that it's not possible because they want football to be the same from grass roots level right to the very top. WTF? Why? Other sports don't concern themselves with that crap and professional football is already different to grass roots with things like officials being in contact with earpieces, fourth officials, the extra officials in European games etc.

All this along with, 'its just part of the game' and 'they level themselves out over a season' banded about like it is scientific fact, when its not. Its just the logic of a complete ****wit, and thats what we are dealing with here. Its complete bollocks. Also, in grass roots footy isn't one of the linesman normally supplied by each teams (it was in my day). Imagine that in pro footy

    The other sports have succesfully used these rules for so long now, its hardly new technology. I don't think the goalline stuff is as important as this if there are more than 5 debatable 'ball over line' decisions in a season I'll be surprised.

    This thread needs a poll.

    .
    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

          a good point was made that if the same appeal system as rugby is used and the incident is replayed in the stadium then the players who dive will be boo'd off the pitch and made a laughing stock.

          once the 4th official of video ref gives his verdict then that will be final. he should only give a pen [or maybe adjudicate on yellow/red cards] if it is clearly a yes, defiantly a pen. not for contact, followed by some theatrical enhancement from the player.
          removing all the weak links makes us stronger

          too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.

            I appreciate I've crashed your joke, but it has made this thread much more appealing, sexy and exciting.

              Video Ref 2, no video ref nil (based on 7 thread views, obviously 5 of you are taking a while to weigh up the pros and cons ).

                Indeed. It's immeasurably more alluring than it already was.

                Incidentally I'm hearing rumours on Twitter that the outcome of this poll will be regarded as binding by FIFA, UEFA and FA (Ferguson Association).

                  Well I'm glad I took some extra time in my wording and presentation then.

                    So to anyone who voted for it, how is it going to work? Are you going to stop play or wait for it to stop naturally, which can sometimes be minutes? And then if the decision gets overturned are you going to add the three minutes or whatever back on? And what happens if there's another decision to be challenged while you're waiting for the ball to go out of play so you can review the first one?

                    I can see there are some advantages but it'll change the game, this sort of thing always does.

                      Can the people who voted 'bad idea' explain why they think so? I'm intrigued.

                        2 for bad idea now (4 for good , 1 for not sure )

                        Need some explanations as to why not for good debate to reign.

                          Does anyone want to know why I voted "not sure"?

                            Don't blame me, blame the incompetent idiot who included it as an option.

                              Great minds I'm intrigued too, and would need some convincing as to why not being the way forward. It could be the biggest and best addition to football since the backpass rule.

                              I don't see why things like this and sin binning aren't just put in place, they do not change the fundamentals of the game, they make it better.
