Referees/Officials

Isn't it crazy that the half time punditry consisted of,how dare the referee give a correct decision for the foul on stones. The ref could of said he didn't see it and decided not to take the opportunity to screw us. Chuckle was furious.

Agree, strange the ref being criticised by the pundits for giving a correct decision because he couldn't have seen it. Bizarre
 
2 great examples this weekend why technology won't help:

1. The France/Scotland rugby - France "try" goes to TMO. All the commentators saying defo try. TMO says no try and actually gets the rule wrong when disallowing
2. Howard Webb in the Times today re sanchez handball - he said he would have allowed it

Technology introduces more, rather than replaces, flawed human subjectivity. And whilst it does, we get further away from the purest form of the game.

it's a "no" from me.

Howard Webb is why video refereeing won't work. He said that Navas got fouled in the penalty area against Everton a year or so ago but it was a good decision by the ref not to give a penalty because he went down a funny way.

He is the type that would be a video ref. Probably even run the video ref department.
 
Credit where credit's due, Neil Swarbrick did a good job, that was the best refereeing performance in some time. A lot of refs would have missed King's foul leading up to his disallowed goal.

This is what worries me about video refereeing, who decides which angles to replay, SKY ?

How the hell can they claim that he couldn't see it Was he looking the other way NO could they see the direction he was looking at from the pictures they shown NO Having shown the foul clearly then there was no need to go over it again and again
