Video evidence

[MattM4 0]

Like I said, who would have a valid objection to a goal scored by a player that commited a red card offence 3 minutes earlier being wiped off? He shouldn't be on the pitch, but this is a way of implementing that justice without it being abused by coaches or stopping the game every 5 minutes.

What if that player didn't score in the meantime, but was loosely involved in the build-up to a goal?

Exactly, where would it end? Also, there is a point to retrospective punishment, in that a player is being punished for something he would currently be getting away with. He may have an impact in that particular game after his offence but he'll be banned for a subsequent match or matches.

Exactly. Either the player gets caught by the ref, either he gets caught after that. Simple. Plus it would also take a little bit of pressure off the referees... because UEFA seem to just want to leave all up to the men in black which is ridiculous.

If it can't be implemented in lower league/Sunday league, then it's changing football as a universal game.

 

How long have referees in the lower leagues had those microphone headset things like they do in the premiership again?

 

And the electronic board showing how much stoppage time is left?

What's the point in punishing him after the match? Has that ever changed the result?

 

The whole point is that bad decisions affect games, and end up standing, while it is obvious within a couple of minutes it was a bad decision.

 

At the end of the day, no-one ever forgets these decisions, and while they exist, there will always be calls for change. The ref's will never be good enough to get all decisions right. So if you're happy with the current situation then fine. I for one am just fed up at too many games turning on one bad decision. Decisions after the game help no-one.

But if players are punished for an offence (eg diving) after the match then they are less likely to do it again, so future matches will hopefully be less affected.

A 3 game ban for diving is bollocks btw I'd also allow referees to reassess an incident so yellows can be upgraded to reds etc.

 

All they need is a rugby style "sin bin" to remove most diving, something below a yellow card which they can use a a warning type punishment (would help a few other issues too - even things like getting sent off for 2 yellows for 2 very soft incidents).

 

 

 

I think video evidence should probably be used (where it is available) in all red card or game changing decisions - such as penalites, as they usually hold the game up anyway.... but using them for every foul or even yellow card is silly.

 

As far as goals are concerned there's no reason at all that at higher level technology isn't there to say exactly if a ball crossed the line or not, and it wouldn't need anything to do with video evidence.
