did you read anything i have said throughout the thread? I said that the idea of restarting it so it would be fair would be difficult, I conceded that fact but now to get to the hert of your message
I meant the new ref that is watching the monitor, not a second ref on the pitch and if he sees something wrong he can signal to the ref using the earpieces they already use.
The Center Referee will not be watching the monitors, you designate an extra referee or the 4th official (as all he does is talk to the coaches anyways) will be watching them so play does not need to be stopped unless the ref can conclude that an infringement upon the laws of the game has occurred. And yes soccer is broken; the speed of the game has gown at a pace greater than the refs can handle so we simply need these things.
Judging by your response to this one you didnt read mine at all - because the goalie saves the ball, play continues because his team has the ball and can launch a counter attack. Read the rules before you question me i'm a ****** ref.
Addidas has the technology that they are trying to implement into soccer balls that beep when the ball has wholey crossed the line. Between this system and an official watching the monitors it's not to difficuly to figure out, unless of course your mike riley or stu the red.
Well you review the penalty before the kick and if the player dived he should be sent off, none of this yellow card ****** for diving, if they sent you off for diving it would be used a whole lot less. Also if you read my post i said what i thought would work quite effectively after a penalty kick has been awarded, as for one should have been added I don't know, I'd leave that up tot Fifa, but I feel that when you start going back to make calls that should have been instead of calling them just a few seconds afterwards would devastate the game. Video refereeing is a good idea, but only when used in a conservative fashion, or else is could indeed screw up the game. As for the game lasting 3 hours as some suggest I found that to be ******. Maybe an extra 5 minutes at most.
Video reffing is needed because to much money is riding on the outcome of games. In sunday leagues and the lower leagues there isn't quite that amount of money riding on the games, whereas if a club gets relegated due to a bad call it would literally cost them millions. I am totally against that, in the beginning of the season Blackburn were totally undone by bad calls that lost them 4 points, to man u and another team. if they had those 4 points imagine if they didn't slow down and end up in the relegation battle.
The "redemption" i was talking about that if the ref misses a game changing call, the man behind the monitor can call the foul, thus redeeming him for his mistake.
