red card rescinded

[danny.]

really, what is the objection to video replays? I have heard "it will sow the game down". Surely the 5 seconds it would take to watch a video replay is quicker than giving a crap desicion and then the ref arguing witht he players for 30-60 seconds. Plus it will be right instead of fooking up results for the unlucky club.

It's 2007, ridiculous we don't have this.

5 seconds? Are you having a giraffe? Have you seen how long decisions can take in both rugby codes, and the cricket, and that's just for starters!

[The People's Hero]

Lisa is right.

Also, poor decisions are part of the game.

Sometimes you get the benefit, sometimes you feel hard done by.

This issue has only been raised as we're going through a patch of poor form and have had a couple of horrendous decisions against us.

but they are both silly sports. One involves chasing and oversized egg, the other takes 3 days to play a game and eating tea is a highlight.

I still think the time it would take would be justified in the really contriversial descisions. It doesn't have to be used all the time, but the 1-2 in a game the ref isn't really sure on, it's hardly gonna delay the game massively is it?

Personally I couldn't give a flying fcuk HOW long it takes, as long as they get it RIGHT.

Too often these fcuking monkeys influence the game as opposed to controlling it. There's virtually no disciplinary system for refs and linesmen (£*&$*&%^ assistants... they tow the lines, they have flags, they're LINESMEN) and hardly ever do we see any of these attention w$%^es brought to book for it.

It's all very well these alabaster retards recinding red and yellow cards, but that doesn't change the results, and the fact that one of these days, one of these muppets is going to seriously fcuk up a decision and send a team down on the basis of that, which could have disastrous financial consequences for whichever unfortunate club is on the end of said decision.

Edit: Not an attack on your comment Lisa btw... just in case it seemed like it

[Tommy G]

And has the ref been demoted and banned for three months?

And is the game to be replayed to a fair outcome?

And is the referees assistant being allowed to remain in football?

What a pity those officials couldn't do their thinking during the match instead of afterwards.

None of what they did was right or necessary.

If referees can only get decisions right after looking at a video WHY can't they look at the video when it's needed?

Good point. Although if im not mistaken didn't kisnorbo go shoulder to shopulder with the ref??

If he did then he is a t*@t for doing that

[samuel]

That's all well and good but it doesn't make the team anymore suited to this division, they are pants!!.

Kick them all out in January and start afresh.

How glad we are to have your wise words of wisdom oh great teacher.

Agreed. Also as Ive mentioned before, what about Grass roots? Football is a great game becasue the rules are the same at the top as they are at the bottom. Introduce video replays and we will just seperate the top 4 leagues from everyone else.

Keep the game simple, thats what makes it brilliant!!

[Geo V]

As others have said at least Kissa is available although its not a great feeling knowing that refs make game changes decisions based on guess work as opposed to the facts. If they are not 100% sure they shouldn't give penos, red cards and the rest. Its a hard job but just give the decisions you see you to$$pots.

[davieG]

Like Manwell said, if you've got some twat in your ear claiming he's got a better view, you have to give it, and from where I was he looked like last man.

Can't knock the ref, and I don't agree with video replays for penalties, that'b daft.

Could it be any slower than the time it takes to set up the average free kick these days, Or do you have an another reson for objecting?

[Thracian]

It takes a lot longer than five seconds to make a substitution but there are still important people calling for even more of these largely unnecessary interruptions.

If we reduce the number of substitutes - they are only a contrived means of getting more footballers onto the gravy train - we could have video replays on key decisions and still finish around the same time.

At least the video evidence becomes part of the drama.

But there's no drama at all in watching a substituted left-back trudge the width of the field and some in yet another example of blatant and officially condoned timewasting.

Again, you're right.

Keep talking sense mate. Don't let the masses beat you down.

[Raj]

Ref should be shot.

And we should replay the game.

with a one goal lead

[demon_dog]

I think if a ref is going to give a red card or a pen, which is obviously going to effect the game and usual takes up a few minutes with all the complaining and the like, the forth official should have a look at a replay to double check, then if he thinks it was dodgy he can call the ref over for a look, if not he doesn't need to interrupt play.

Agreed.

Some people seem to think a video replay would take to long.

If so, how come Sky Sports manage to replay incidents within seconds of it happening.

[Fat Ron]

Again, you're right.

Cheers

No chance of the masses beating me down im afraid, Im a stubborn ****er!!

[Fat Ron]

TV analysts. The fourth official is there to maintain calm on the side line. Are you indicating that there should be a fifth official to watch the screen and replay before calling the referee?

[Simi]

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

Assistant, blame the assistant!!! If you have some twat in your ear who claims to have had a better view than you telling you to give a penalty and a sending off your quite likely to follow his advice, unfortunatley.

Yes. Exactly.

[Fat Ron]

My honest opinion is that even with replays you would get mistakes. Its human nature to make spur of the moment gut reactions. It all comes down to the Training.

Even if replays were introduced, whoever was viewing them would need to be trained just as well as the referees and assistants. IMO all it would is complicate the structure of the game.

[Bert]

Another thing -

If football went all "technology" there wouldn't so many controversial decisions, talking points and great debates. In fact, there'd hardly be any, just look at rugby, cricket etc, hardly any controversy. Whether they go in your favour, or they don't, controversial decisions are part of football.

If we had video replays, we wouldn't still be talking about this now.

Let's not forget the commercializing of every single decsion that would Americanise us even more.

You can take away the goal too then, and then the course of the match, and then the final result.

Yeah I know what you mean matey. Suppose it would be daft to have video replays for penalties, my bad

Suppose everyone has a different view of it so have to form their own opinion.

[Ashley]

Its good that the card has been rescinded but it was never a sending off in the first place, if Kisnorbo would of stayed on who knows what would of happed.

We might of won the game.
