If instant slow-mo replays are shown immediately anyway (I didn't think they were) might as well use it to make the correct calls in obvious situations no?

Sucks. Video- > technology is not an assualt on referees, it HELPS the referees. > They're human. It'll never be 100% but obvious errors can be reduced. > I don't think the referee at the England game felt good about himself > when he saw the replay. This is an aspect of the problem that I feel gets overlooked many times. The way things go, more and better cameras everyday, HD broadcasts and so on, good referees, sometimes very good refs, are getting exposed and ridiculed. That's unfair. FIFA said video review, or other forms of technological help, would undermine referees' authority. I believe it's the other way round. Abra�o, Luiz Mello

Someone needs to send that BBC commentator a copy of the book "The Fix"... He should also know that, with competent and respected officials like there are in rugby, it's harder to manipulate the results. Mike

If instant slow-mo replays are shown immediately anyway : (I didn't think they were) They're not supposed to be. The person responsible for that happening is probably already clearing out his or her desk. -- "Look at the way teams play against Arsenal. They don't believe they can win.

Law 5 seems to indicate that it is similar in soccer: "The referee may only change a decision on realising that it is incorrect or, at his discretion, on the advice of an assistant referee or the fourth official, *provided that he has not restarted play* or terminated the match." This could be a great new chapter of rofl for Mexico. |
