I've noticed that recently football matches have been using "the second ref" if there is a questionable occurrence on the field the ref stops the match and reviews the incident on a t.v. screen so he is able to give the correct decision, some football pundits have hailed it as a breakthrough, JUST WHERE HAVE THESE PEOPLE BEEN FOR THE LAST TWENTY ODD YEARS!!!!!
They spend millions and millions overpaying these players and putting virtually nothing into improving the game, and this second ref is like a caveman seeing fire for the first time it's pathetic. Football today requires modern thinking, American football has at least SEVEN officials on the pitch at any one time and about 40 cameras scanning the field, little or nothing gets past them. O.k. over the top you might think but the fans very rarely go home saying "We was robbed", Wimbledon, French open et al all have court computers {cyclops,hawkeye} so a "bad" call can be looked at in real time and the correction {if any needed} made, unlike our football ONE referee and two linesmen, all three follow the ball up and down up and down for the WHOLE ninety minutes unlike most of the players, there could be a mass brawl at the other end of the pitch and the officials would be none the wiser till they turn round.
As I mentioned it's not as though football doesn't have the money it does, shed loads of it. There should be two refs, each one refs from the goal mouth up to the half way line, then the other takes over up to the other goal, same with linesmen at least six like pockets on a snooker table and more cameras.
