Maybe, just maybe this can of worms needs to remain closed given the number of favourable decisions (*cough* offside *cough*; players not sent off) your lot have received this season

Like I said, best this can of worms be left unopened and we rather all accept that most of the officials are shyte and that the introduction of TV refs will at least ensure that the most blatantly incorrect decisions are overturned in the game itself (where it can have a direct impact on the outcome of the game).

They always say it will slow down the game. All they have to do is only allow a certain amount of referrals a season. I'd say each team gets 5.

The ref in the tv booth should be watching the game and correcting stuff pro-actively rather than waiting for a team to appeal for issues to be referred to him.

Nah I don't like that I think that will interfere with the game too much with so many decisions to be made like offsides, tackles etc

Depends how often you think the on-field guys get it wrong...I think on average there's maybe 1-2 things that happen in each game that seriously annoy me as a viewer \ supporter. I don't see the tv ref interfering beyond correcting those.

Referral limited to Red Card / 2nd Yellow offences. The game has stopped at that point anyway.

This.

1. In the same way that goal line works automatically, offside line should be auto generated and ref alerted via that wrist device they wear - so the rule becomes "unless obviously offside, person is deemed not offside unless flagged by TV ref"

2. When TV ref spots foul that the onfield ref hasn't spotted, once again, beep on the wrist to let him know that he must stop the game.

3. When TV ref spots lino/ref mistake, *beep* to correct.

It's better than the officials looking like complete twats in every 2nd game 'cos TV spots things that they cannot hope too.

This, so much this. TV has altered the way we view sports totally - the game has to move with the technology.

I think there's too much money for FIFA to loose if they introduce video tech to football - not easy to match fix if TV replay will dispel any favourable calls.

Corruption corrupts absolutely :D

Goal line technology is automated so it's quick. The thing that I think will slow down the game are tackles as it takes more than just one camera angle to judge like with a offside.

A tackle can take up to 30 seconds to judge correctly based on replays, considering how quick the game is that is too long to call back play. I don't mind tackles that result in stoppages being looked at but not if the game is ongoing.

I agree with what you are saying about the approach to tackles, with one caveat and that is that any time the ref stops the game the video ref can have a look if necessary.

Offside can work if applied correctly. The time that people moan about offside is when it's not picked up and a goal is scored or when a goal is scored that is offside.

In both of those cases the game stops anyway so there is time to video ref.
