Corrupt Officiating Within the English game

He's been fucked off, started claiming we were nothing before the oil money and Cleavers showed him the exit with a banhammering.

I love it when they start with that shite.

The fact that they wouldn't have a club if it wasn't for City has forced them to forget a lot of history.
 
To be fair she/he/it did have a point - some people are not very welcoming when our rag friends come to call.

I realise what it would entail in terms of three or four sensors on players' bodies (the rule could be adopted to exclude arms) - and within the ball - but beyond that I don't believe it would require, as you suggest, very good AI. I would be shocked if the technology wasn't currently in circulation to effectuate this. It will probably need some referee's assistant being exposed for being on the take for the idea to gather enough momentum and traction though.

It will happen though. Any technology that doesn't interfere with the flow of the game will prevail eventually.

The program would have to judge very difficult things like whether a player is active or attempting to interfere with play and all that stuff. That would involve being able to analyse the movements of limbs. And in the end no program is ever bug free. It will only be as good at doing what it has been specifically programmed to do and how good it will perform will only be as good as the programming team, the development process and the iterative testing. It would be a huge project that could never guarantee accuracy.

Much easier to just let the third referee sitting with three or four monitors and the ability to advise the referee.

But I don't believe corrupt officiating is a problem. It's a fast game and the mechanics of human perception is such that downright odd decisions are inevitable.

Hell, sometimes we can't agree among ourselves on match days, even with replays.

I have to disagree on two counts, mate.

Firstly I cannot see how it is beyond the wit of man, given current technology levels, to devise something that works as effectively and accurately as goal-line technology.

Secondly I am violently opposed to anything that interrupts the flow of the game; as that feature of the game contains football's innate, distinguishing beauty. A third referee would alter the nature of the sport, much for the worse imo.
