Usually when it's a pen you usually see the foul othat led to the pen replayed a lot of times on TV up until the penalty is taken, so I don't think it would waste time to watch a replay.


This is what FIFA said about it:

In 2005, Urs Linsi, general secretary of FIFA, said:[16]
Players, coaches and referees all make mistakes. It's part of the game. It's what I would call the "first match". What you see after the fact on video simply doesn't come into it; that's the "second match", if you like. Video evidence is useful for disciplinary sanctions, but that's all. As we've always emphasised at FIFA, football's human element must be retained. It mirrors life itself and we have to protect it.

yes

NO, it would ruin football and replays usually take like 3-4 mins off the game plus a decision making from referee.

Make a poll, dawg.

And NO. Oh my...just no.

If you want to kill the game and it's integrity there ya go. Instant replay.

If you want to watch the NFL come to the US and watch 4 hour games with a commercial break every two minutes. But I'm sticking with good ol' football-my love.

^ A question about NFL. Is it true that the actual time that the ball is in play in NFL is only around 12 minutes?

I've heard that before and I'm not sure (I don't watch it much), but 12 minutes is stretching it, IMO.

It's not a helluva lot though I'll tell you that though.

If done properly, the ref would hear the verdict on his jog back to the center circle, so yes.

see in hockey and NFL I *bleep* hate it cuz they watch the same replay a billion times . I'd hate to see that in soccer/football, but having the replays on the large screen so the ref can look back at any decision he makes quickly *cough Argentina Mexico* , would be sufficient.

football should have a challenge system like in tennis. it couldnt be more fair than that. no one can complain about it taking too much time either

Bump.

Hell Naaaaw.


Goal-line technology is enough for me, the ultimate aim in football is scoring goals and scoring more than the other team.

That's as far as it should go.

Yes but make it a challenge system like 3 per side or some shit so it does not get out of control.

Of course they should. The people who act like it would just be impossible to figure out how to do it infuriate me to no end. There like the people who say there just no way to figure out how to have a college football playoff system.

It's really simple. Most calls on a football field are subjective to the ref's judgement so you don't use it for that. But for if the ball crosses the goal line or if the goal was off or onside it should be used. It literally takes less time then it does to run the ball back to the middle of the field to start the game again to see if a goal is onside or not.

The subjective calls in a game it should not be used for. Like hand balls, it's the refs job to see if and make a judgement call if it's hand to ball or ball to hand.

Also, I would be all for if a ref had a way to signal the people and said he didn't have a good angle or see the play in question to have the booth make a quick and right decision instead of totally letting it go or making a game changing decision from something he could barely see. I mean they stop the game and run over to another official all the time what is the difference?

It's the same reason the NFL has it now is because the game is not like it used to be. More fouls are called the players and game are faster there's more money and peoples reputations on the line plus IT"S A REALLY SIMPLE WAY TO GET IT RIGHT and that should be what people want in the end.

yes it should and it's absolutely disgraceful that it isn't used yet

i don't know where people get the idea that football with video technology = nfl... all it takes is literally one extra referee (maybe put one of those penalty area knobs to actual use) sitting in front of a tv screen with a headset communicating with the referee

questionable call is made, players signal to coach, coach tells fourth referee, fourth referee tells main ref, main ref talks with video ref, 20 seconds later you've got a decision

entire process takes about 30 seconds, meanwhile players are on the pitch crowding the referee and arguing who should and shouldn't get a yellow card...

But how often would these replay refs get involved in a match?

I mean would he only come in for "big calls" or for every decision the main ref actually got wrong

no replay in football imo...only goal technology

challenge system... 2 or 3 per team, only applicable with red cards, penalties and goals

sounds familiar

entirely different point... some people seem to think that implementing video technology would turn football into a constantly interrupted slugfest like nfl, which is, simply put, bullshit

good point, but what would happen on those plays that are still incredibly hard to tell in replay even with slow motion and all?

You really would be against using technology to judge if a goal is on or offsides?

Remember Bayern vs Fiorentina in the CL or Even Man U vs Barca in the CL final where Man U's first goal was offsides? It literally would take 5 seconds to get it right. Before the guys minute long celebration is even over or before the keeper take his goal kick.

I mean it's the hardest thing for a human being to judge IMO is the offside rule. There very far away and it's a split second decision.

I don't mean to single you out I just can't possibly understand how someone could be against it? It's literally one of the hardest calls in all of sports that you could get right every time with almost no effort or effect on the game.

Just go with the call on the field.

its simple - referee will carry a small screen with himself or a mobile phone. he will see instant replay immediately in 5 seconds and decide

or he doesnt need to carry anything. Fourth referee will watch it on manitor and signal to main referee. simple and easy

I dont think they should do that because it would kill the excitement of Soccer.

you will get used to it, and you will be happy because barca will win more titles

Only way I can see possible is if it's done the same way that accidentally happened in 2010 World Cup with Argentina and Mexico.
