[QUOTE="Salty25, post: 226473, member: 185281"] for me, I could NEVER support video referees within the game, ie not during a match. It WOULD DEFINITELY breakup the fluency of the game, and if anyone has watched NFL, they would understand that it would not be half as exciting as it is now. Football would not be football. For me, the only technology should be to microchip the ball so that the ref would know if it did cross the line. But that is the limit. I feel retrospective action is the way to go, whereby a commitee of refs/officials need to review every game, and punish those players are clearly persistant in cheating/diving. This would only be implemented in leagues/tournaments that can afford it. Also, the rule whereby if a ref takes action on the pitch, ie the yellow card to Figo for headbutting, the authorities can do nothing retrospectively should be abolished. Refs can not see everything - they dont become God for 90 minutes! Also, on the Figo incident - what were the linesmen doing???? [/QUOTE]
