I take it that you are/were the perfect footballer,never misplaced a pass,never mishit a ball,never missed an open goal,never mistimed a tackle,never missed a penalty, in fact never made a mistake on the football field.Yes? Then how do you expect an amateur ref not to make any mistakes. These people give up their time to allow low level football to continue (the 'pay' is insignificant) yet you continually rubbish their efforts.pint vulger wrote:This game was as big as it gets ,so can you imagine what its like at amateur level?
I agree with all of that Steggs, and to be honest, it makes me wonder if the game IS actually rigged... for the life of me, I can't understand why the authorities are so stubbornly against tech help for the refs, when so much is at stake, and all the evidence/trialling proves the benefits of implementing it...Steggo wrote:I take it that you are/were the perfect footballer,never misplaced a pass,never mishit a ball,never missed an open goal,never mistimed a tackle,never missed a penalty, in fact never made a mistake on the football field.Yes?

Attacking an isolated ref,which you seem to condone,is despicable. These attackers have something deeply wrong with them,the type that attack people due to road rage etc,disgusting,animal behaviour.They certainly do not belong on a football field.
As for professional refs. They make mistakes and that is why they need technology to aid decisions. The problem is that UEFA/FIFA have taken the line that the basic rules of the game must be administered in the same way,whether the game is played at Old Trafford or a muddy field on the Yorkshire Moors,so they have been slow to change.
And don't forget the level of 'cheating' by players has reached such sophisticated levels and the game is so much faster than it yeas 20 years ago,that without the use of technology refs are going to struggle. And what is the point of these 5th officials (on the goal line). No use whatsoever-classic example the Suarez cheat against PSG.
If the game is bent,then that is a totally different matter,and if it is bent it seems to favour the top Spanish sides but what do you do about it? We know UEFA/FIFA are corrupt to the core,so who do you trust to police the game?
Pleasy Fub ,if you havnt played the game you wouldnt understand.FuB wrote:to be fair, we should just do away with players altogether and just have two teams of eleven refs with an extra ref to make sure none of the refs are partisan. this way we can make sure all refs have played the game at the same level as they are reffing
