instant replay needed?

Good points. As I said early on in this thread, I would much rather see two refs on the pitch (in addition to the two AR's) before instant replay. Yes, I realize this might wreak havoc in youth leagues where it's already difficult to have enough refs. IF instant replay were to ever be used....I would hope that it would only be for the instances you mention. At least in those cases, play is already stopped so it wouldn't be too much of a disruption.

Yes, that's my reasoning.

The two-whistle system has proven in almost every case to be FAR worse than the DSC (2 lines, 1 center). Luckily, though, the geniuses of footballing progress are opining that we should try a THREE-whistle system, with both lines having equal power to stop play, etc. etc. etc. This is in effect in certain states, for high school matches.

I only wish this were a joke.

i dont have much time so i couldnt read what poeple wrote
this may be a repeat of someones thoughts but

A video referee should be introduced when there is a protest to a penalty or goal only. Usually players agree when they know they did the foul but going by players reactions isnt really enough.

And yes, English referees suck penii

Honest query here.....why has the 2 whistle system proven to be worse? I'm genuinely curious as I coach youth soccer but not in a league that employs such a system.
