Trav Le Bleu Posted 11 November 2012 Share Posted 11 November 2012 It would be nice, though I think it wouldn't be 100%. Certainly an improvement. Add linesman both sides of each half and goal-line technology and were there! Edit: this should be in general football though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you'd see a fair few more goals this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we could have post match interviews with those linesmen, what a pantomime that would be.... On no it wasn't, oh yes it was, oh no it wasn't, Oh ye.........

shade Posted 11 November 2012 Share Posted 11 November 2012 humans are fallible, if we have 5 officials why not 7, if we have 7 then why not 9? either implement video technology that can override an official or forget about discussing referees.

dayday Posted 11 November 2012 Author Share Posted 11 November 2012 I sit in the West Stand near the corner line,i did not have a clear view of the palace handball...yet the linesman on the east side would have as it was on his side,yet yesterday the handball was my side and everybody around me were screaming handball me included. The ref is standing behind a forest player so could not give it,same goes for the linesman as he is on the wrong side so he could not,this is happening all the time and the longer it goes on the more the refs jobs are going to get harder.. Just think if we were Man Utd .....Fergie would be doing his nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guesty Posted 11 November 2012 Share Posted 11 November 2012 Good idea in theory. Would be useful if they had any real say. I imagine they will be told that the ref is in charge and then do what linesmen do in most cases and only signal for peno's if the ref has already awarded it.

notnow john Posted 11 November 2012 Share Posted 11 November 2012 Officials on the goal line are a good idea in principal but they are only a window dressing as used at the moment. How many times have You seen them make a decision ? It's fifa's desperate attempt to delay technology influenced decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB11 Posted 11 November 2012 Share Posted 11 November 2012 We don't need officials behind both goals- we need one in the middle who knows what he is doing. But they get paid a lot just to stand there and do nothing. So when FIFA asked them - following the trial - if it was a good idea the referees backed up their colleagues and they all said yes, so they implemented them and now they do nothing but get paid an awful lot for it.

ithuriel Posted 11 November 2012 Share Posted 11 November 2012 I say we go totalitarian on their asses, have a steady supply of match officials with explosive collars around their necks and give both managers a control device, that will sort the feckers out, or maybe i've been watching to much Futurama.

acooling08 Posted 11 November 2012 Share Posted 11 November 2012 No point adding further officials, need video replays. As I said elsewhere, each team gets 3 'challenges' to decisions. That way the major decisions will be right, but the game won't be getting stopped much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain... Posted 12 November 2012 Share Posted 12 November 2012 Extra officials don't and won't help until they clarify the rules and simplify them so that they can be consistently applied, and understood by all involved, likewise appeals, or decision review systems, I honestly have no idea what constitutes a foul at the moment. Zak Whitbread wins the ball, but he did go to ground, it was from behind and he did take out the man, would I appeal that decision you some some refs give them and some not, and you see the same ref in the same game give some and not others. Likewise Zak's other penalty, he raised his hands he made contact there was probably a bit of a shove, but you seem them all the time and usually nothing is given, are players going to appeal for a free kick every time he is pushed slightly? If so every corner will end up in an appeal for a penalty before the ball has even been kicked. The problem is the penalty of a penalty is too high it changes games, yet refs have no other option, and players can't change their behaviour if one minute it is a foul and the next minute the same tackle isn't.

dedlock Posted 12 November 2012 Share Posted 12 November 2012 A video ref. in communication with ref. on the pitch could quickly tell the ref.he's made the wrong call,as with the penalty against us or the ref. could request help when unsighted as with the handball. This would reduce the chance of refs. looking foolish or incompetent when footage is considered later by pundits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose2010 Posted 12 November 2012 Share Posted 12 November 2012 the manager should be able to flag the play like in american football and then it gets reviewed by the 4th official, might slow the game down slightly but i would rather be at a game 5mins longer than feel cheated by a poor decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would reduce the chance of refs. looking foolish or incompetent when footage is considered later by pundits. I agree but it would only solve clear cut decisions, such as if it was over the line or not, but there is so much subjectivity when it comes to fouls and handballs, the penalty on Saturday some people say it was a foul, some people say it clearly wasn't, pundits debate it in the studio and fans do in the pub, if we are going to have video refs and referral decisions we need to clarify the rules and apply them consistently before we can have another set of eyes passing judgement. the manager should be able to flag the play like in american football and then it gets reviewed by the 4th official, might slow the game down slightly but i would rather be at a game 5mins longer than feel cheated by a poor decision I agree with that, but at what point would it be too long, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes?
