Replay in soccer

Unless the Ref has a mini-camera on his wrist, there's no way to settle the issue in 60 seconds. Perhaps the 4th ref could make the call...

 

I'd rather have 7 points for each goal, and 3 points for each shot that goes over the goal.

 

i agree

 

Leave the human-error quality of the game.

So I assume you never yell at refs?

 

I do but it's a part of the game.

I think that they could use it for disputes over the ball crossing the goalline or not. Other than that, it would be difficult to implement.

 

Or the ref could've wasted time by calling for a video replay and then decided that he saw the play correctly the first time, and that the player didn't deliberately handle the ball. Watching it over and over isn't necessarily going to make judgment calls any more accurate or palatable.

 

If you're looking to resolve goal disputes, like if the ball does or does not go over the line, I think a goal judge a la hockey is a better solution than breaking up the flow of the game.

This was an idea Platini or somone suggested shortly after this past WC.

 

i'm gonna bet your an american football fan too...lol it sounds like an idear at first but ummm...not for soccer. don't bring rules from other sports into this one... next idea would be the 3-in-the-key rule, or should i say the 3-in-the-6-yard-box.

i did hear about this happing but online for the goaline. that might or might not be good. it would be interesting to see how they go about this. personally... i like screaming at the ref for non-calls... what can i say? ITS FUN!!!... plus, it really takes the fun out of the game when you try to make everything exact like in american football.

homan error is what makes it interesting. it makes each game a little differen't from the next.

 

What about games that aren't televised or video taped? That would mean MLS games would be run by different rules than some minor league games.
I say, only use the tape to evaluate the refs performance or to fine a player. If a coach doesn't like a call, he/she can always submit a formal complaint after the game.

 

Couldn't have said it better myself.

If you are yelling, then you think something is wrong. Unless you like being upset. In which case, the quality of the refing does not matter, does it?
