Comments on: Does Having Two More Referees On The Pitch Beat Video Technology? http://soccerlens.com/does-having-two-more-referees-on-the-pitch-beat-video-technology/5286/ Football News Fri, 25 May 2012 18:33:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: BenM http://soccerlens.com/does-having-two-more-referees-on-the-pitch-beat-video-technology/5286/#comment-89135 BenM Tue, 13 May 2008 22:03:07 +0000 http://soccerlens.com/does-having-two-more-referees-on-the-pitch-beat-video-technology/5286/#comment-89135 seems to me like a desperate showing of the fear present amongst the older generations at UEFA and the FA; the fear of modernisation of the game. it's my understanding at the moment that the numbers of officials available for matches are low as it is, so if that is the case then how are we going to manage to find so many extra officials to accomodate for this proposed plan. the one proble i can see with goal line technology, and video evidence in general, is the potential impact it could have on what is a smooth-running game. one of the things i can't stand about rugby is the constant stopping and starting, but i think that video evidence in football could be managed so it has minimum impact on how the game runs. it could also be used to embarass those players guilty of going down easily, or just plain diving, and would almost entirely eliminate the factor of human error. seems to me like a desperate showing of the fear present amongst the older generations at UEFA and the FA; the fear of modernisation of the game. it’s my understanding at the moment that the numbers of officials available for matches are low as it is, so if that is the case then how are we going to manage to find so many extra officials to accomodate for this proposed plan. the one proble i can see with goal line technology, and video evidence in general, is the potential impact it could have on what is a smooth-running game. one of the things i can’t stand about rugby is the constant stopping and starting, but i think that video evidence in football could be managed so it has minimum impact on how the game runs. it could also be used to embarass those players guilty of going down easily, or just plain diving, and would almost entirely eliminate the factor of human error.

I believe if done cleverly it won't noticeably impact on the flow of the game. And it can be done rather easily to give better results than the current standard of refereeing. With time of course things will improve and there will be no compare. IMO it's not a matter of if but of when, and it should be sooner rather than later. See details at my site www.FairFootball.com . As for the question at hand, I think it's rather simple. A ref with video evidence is better than one without. 3 refs with video evidence are better than 3 without. And before they consider fielding a 3-rd team, the one of the refs, with 7+ men to run on the field and really ruin the game, they should consider how much more useful 7 additional refs would be that sit comfortably in their chairs, watch their professional video evidence equipment, well trained and organized. There's no way on earth results wouldn't be better than the current mess. BTW, part of this video evidence equipment should be one or more small video cameras that the on-field ref carries on him, to see exactly what he sees plus much more. Except that there will be more eyes to analyze it. I assume it could be done technically. FF Hello

Something quick like hawk-eye would be aweseome, and if you can't get that then leave the game as it is. It is not that bad.
