Oops. Blown that, now. :)

In all seriousness, I think the same. You're talking sense here and I'm enjoying the debate. I just disagree with you.

Apart from confusin me by talking about burgers, i don't see we're you insulted me - yer quilt! :P

I think it'l come in anyway, but there is going to be a lot of grey areas and problems people haven't anticipated yet when it is.
 
Personally i blame Sky and Andy Gray.

With their multitude of cameras and instand replays and Gray moaning all match and after the match about evey decision the officials got wrong it then became part of football culture for your average fan to watch the same replays and then piss and moan about the officals after every match.

Its a game of 22 humans being officiated by 3(or 4 or 6 or however many) humans. Mistakes will be made. Yakubu will put it wide from 3 yards out, Phil Jageilak will pass to Ashley Young and a linesman will not be 100% sure if a ball crossed the line or not.

We need to just let them get on with doing their jobs without knowing that every little mistake they make when they get 1 split second chance to make a judgement at high speed is gonna be analysed to death and suffer abuse for it.

Respect the Ref? Needs to be enforced rather than an emtpy slogan.

Saying that i wouldn't be against goalline technology if it can be used, no harm in helping them out if we can.

We bitched about Refs before sky to be fair. Hell, you go and watch non league football, the refs there get a bollocking and theres not even a newspaper reporter at those games
 
I'm for an appeals system, for certain things. Each manager has 3 appeals to use in each game for incidents like balls crossing the goal line and offsides. Perhaps only those two. Then a 4th official reviews the tape - which is very quick to do, certainly in some cases MUCH quicker than dealing with all of the players complaining to the referee. Look how quickly we could decide watching the game that Tevez was offside.
If the manager was right, the decision is changed and he keeps all appeals. If he was wrong he loses and appeal. Perhaps this could be 2 appeals not 3. Or maybe the ref can ask for a video replay like in Rugby internationals. YOu could also lose an appeal or censured in some other way for submitting 'frivolous' appeals.

No need for chips in footballs - there's cameras at most top games now so the expense wouldn't be much.
 
I only think that we should have goal line tech, which tell you if the balls over the line. last year in the championship, someone was given a goal that went 2 yards wide an bounced bk on the field. That goal nearly sent the other team down.As they lost the match.

What if Everton are playing on the final day to win the league or get 4th an must win, The ball gets lobbed in an Jags heads it in, but the linesman doesn't no its in so we dont get it, an it cost Everton a fortune cos we finish 5th, when all we need is the 4th offical or someone to check a camera an say to the ref its in. Or a buzzer like icehockey going off that indicates the balls over the line.

If there was only goal-line technology then the goal that Tevez scored which was offside would have stood. I don't think that's right. I think that there would be less expense in using replays and that it would be able to be used in more situations.

Mind you, I don't think it'll happen soon. FIFA had a 'committee' on it which was supposed to be the final say and they said something along the lines of 'THE DOOR IS CLOSED'. What can you say about an organisation like that?
 

If you resort to replays where do you stop, disputed corners, throw ins, fouls-- could be a big can of worms. Look at Argie and Mexico damned near had a riot.
