Royal Rother Albert, a honk, a whistle, a firework - anything that signals the correct decision would be fine with me.
Would a honker have seen the handball if the whistler didn't?

2 world wars, 1 world cup ... Is even more of a ****ing moronic dinosaur than I previously thought you were.
No other way of putting it, sorry.

We haven't even got goal line technology and already people whine they want more. And then they'll want a little more. And a little more. By then it will be too late and football is ruined

How does it ruin football exactly? People pay their money & want to see the right result. My football is ruined more by losing 2 points because of a handballed goal. It hasn't ruined tennis in any way at all.

Jerry St ClairRoyal Rother All goals. Costs nothing and doesn't delay the game.
OK, so take a ball that may have crossed the line. The ball is cleared and the defending team are on the attack but are stopped in their tracks because the ref has stopped the game to review a video to see if it crossed the line. It didn't.

Alexander Litvinenko As soon as you stop the game for a replay it's a different game - but if you don't stop it for a replay you then risk wiping out something that happened between the incident in question and the replay.

So what?
That even happens now occasionally when a linesman spots something a referee has missed, and play carries on without the ref seeing him.

Royal RotherFingringhoe Happy to be a dinosaur. The game needs to be left alone. Goal line technology maybe, but nothing else. What constitutes a big decision? Every kick of the ball plays its part in the game. As has been said so many times before, at some point during the season a poor decision will go our way and we'll gladly accept it.
How long would you give officials to review video Parky? The pace of the game would be very different and more and more decisions would be challenged. A slippery slope.
Just review goals.
Wouldn't interrupt the game at all.
It's pathetic that the biggest game in the world doesn't use the technology when it's available.

notloyalenuffroyal Surely this is the perfect example of where the team / captain's appeal could come in. One per game or half. If you have used it. Tough. If not - today would have worked. 3 of the team were round the ref asking him about it. They knew. A quick watch back by 4th official, job is a goodun. Don't think Ba would have had any complaints.
If Jobi had already wasted the appeal on something else then we'd have no complaints.
My six year old.... " can't they just take away the goal now daddy!"

Dick Habbin's hairdoManchesterRoyals They need to sort it out this could cost us in the long run
First chelsea now today were not having much luck
This. How we didn't get a draw - let alone win - at Chelsea still irks me greatly.... and now today.
Having said that, I thought Marriner had a very good game today and even watching live on the telly, it took the second slo-mo to spot the hand..... but Ba's celebration gave it away. Purely unintentional from him, it was a shit glancing header that hit his hand.
