I presume u all heard of Jimmy Hills idea i think it is..
Basically the captain of the team can at any moment in the game ask the referee to review a situation by asking for say the 5th referee to watch a replay. So basically if there was a crucial foul which should be punished, a dive which results in a penalty, ball which may or may not go over the line, handballs etc, the 5th referee i suppose could call the decision from video replays. He suggested that this can only be done twice by both sides in a game so there arent too many stops in the game. Think that was the jist anyway..
Not a bad idea i dont think cos it would possibly make the game more fair and if both teams got to have two calls in the game there wouldnt be too many stops. Also the captaincy role would be more important cos he would have to know when to make the call..
What u think? |
i think that's a pretty damn good idea
soccer isn't dying, and it doesn't have stupid rules, but there is always a space for improvement |

what do you suggest that they do about the refs? i heard some people talking about letting the captain ask another ref to review a play but are there any other suggestions. i think that maybe a replay system like in the NHL would work. |

| yeah i was thinking the same thing, but it could take too much time. maybe add another referee that will be in charge of reviewing replays and will be the one calling the close calls. |

| The faults of the referees have always been there, however as technology has got better and better referees are scrutinised more on their performance and are under greater pressure when a big decision is to be made. They are only human. |

if you have the opportunity to make things right why wouldnt you want to?
i dont think that it would be a good idea to stop play to review something but maybe, like someone else mentioned, you can have a review ref look at close plays. |

If u think football has turned stale and it wasnt as good as it used to be why do u want to bring in new stupid rules, why dont u just wanna change some rules back to the way they were?? Stop trying to make OUR sports AMERICAN!!!!!
Anyway football is good the way it is, only problem i have with it is that referees are too eager to blow their whistle.
At Euro 2004 some refs blew their whistle at the slightest of nudges and it was pathetic. Its a contact sport and dribblers and attackers know if they go down at the slightest nudge they have a good chance of getting the decision their way. |
we definitely dont need to EVER americanize the sport...:whip: :whip: |

This thread is hilarious. Next thing they're gonna have time-outs too :D To cater the commercials. That's the biggest reason soccer isn't big in the US.
When I was in the States I saw a friendly match on ESPN2 between my team (Netherlands) and the US, and they were constantly showing brandnames in the corner of the screen and the commentators were saying "This part of the game has been brought to you by ". Or something like "We thank our sponsors that we can show this match without interruptions."
Lets hope that isn't the way sports are heading in Europe. |
