question on football -soccer?

Question

do you think the soccer referee should use a method like what they used in cricket in decissions making when they are in doubt wheter the ball cross the line for a goal to be scored ,when a player is said to be off side or a foul is committed in the penalty box or other wise

Answer 1

Assuming that you are asking about using video replay evidence before making important decisions - definitely not. It would inevitably slow down the game and there would still be lots of wrong decisions.



Even video replay decisions would be sometimes wrong, since a replayed incident can look very different depending on which angle it was filmed from.



Lots of players and managers would argue that a replay should have been used in situations when it wasn't used.



The referees would be under pressure from the authorities to use the replay evidence sparingly, so that the game is not slowed down too much. Fans, players and managers, however, would argue for the replay on every small decision.



It think it would actually cause more friction and controversy rather than less and it would interfere with the flow of the game.

Answer 2

If cameras are ever introduced they should only be used as an 'eye' on the goal-line, otherwise the game will be too slow and will risk dimishing the atmosphere or tension within a game, which is what draws people to football in the first place. Also the referee will have experienced the whole game and it would be wrong to make a decision on an isolated incident, not knowing what went on before.

Answer 3

If you are talking about the camera.

Screw it... why u ask?



1. Slows Game Down

2. Wreck the image

3. FIFA will charge the clubs more.
