Slagging refs off when we win...

Very rarely does anyone slag off refs when we win or a big decision goes for us. I wish people would as I'd like to see tv replays for all big decisions (pen/no pen, sending offs etc.).

TV replays do not delay the game as most can be done whilst teams ate celebrating a goal or some other natural break in play at big decisions. Take yesterday for example, the 4th official could have seen a couple of replays whilst DM trudged off and told the ref that it was just outside the area.

If FIFA can use the 4th official to send Zidane off in a WC final, they can use them much more often elsewhere too.

well said Dawg.

The more major decisions we can get right, the less we have to talk about shitty refs. Maybe use those waste of time extra officials to be in charge of the tv replay?

don't be silly then according to blatter we would have nothing to debate in the pub afterwards!!!!!!!!! I bloody hate that excuse. We'd still be debating as yesterday it is amazing how many differing opinions there was of the penalty & the foul on Navas.

Good point Dawg.

How many times in cricket recently have we seen a batsmen given out walk half way to the pavilion, only to be recalled by the 3rd umpires review.....it literally takes seconds for someone to review a major decision and overturn it.

I haven't seen the incident again but it didn't look like a "dive" by Navas to me, it looked like he was fouled.
