I can't see cheerleaders taking off....

I'd rather they were thrown on by people in Ray Wilkins masks so we can have a 'Super Ray Power Play'.
Avigar suggests that it's up to the ref when to view the replay. But what if he's sure he's got the original decision right? And I don't think any number of replays would have got the penalty decision at OT overturned.

How is a replay a ridiculous idea??? Why did tennis apply it then?

Perhaps there could be a large hole half way up one of the stands that the balls were thrown through, a la table football?

I think the review system is a ridiculous idea. I'm all for replays.
Comparisons with tennis and cricket are largely irrelevent as these are games that last much longer than football matches and have lenthgy breaks in play. Even rugby is not played at the same pace as football.

Replays in tennis and cricket do not take long at all.

That's not the point I was making, is it?
If a cricket match lasts 5 days, then who cares if they spend 5 minutes debating a decision at some point? Even T20 games (Where they don't allow reviews) typically last 3 and a half hours.
After every 3 games in tennis, the players go and have a sit down. Again, it leaves plenty of room for them to extend the match a bit.
The momentum of these games is not lost by a break in play in the same way it would be in football.
I'm all for goal line technology and post match reviews of major decisions, but I can understand the arguments against them.

Not necessary. Painting a line half way inbetween the existing goal line and the line of the back of the net would suffice. If the ball passes the 1 goal line (existing goal line) the scoring team is awarded 1 goal. If the ball passes the 2(nd) goal line (the new, half way line) the scoring team is awarded 2 goals. That way if the referee incorrectly ruled that the ball had not crossed the 1 goal line you would only be losing 1 goal in a game where goals had a possible value of 2, therefore the level of injustice would be alot less.

Why don't we just stick a referee onto the under-side of the crossbar to solve the problem of goal-line decisions?

Because they'd still get it wrong at least 50% of the time?  |

We must say that Drogba is the chairman of Exaggerators and over-reactors anonymous.

If every player had a camera attached to his forehead we could 22 video replays of every disputed incident.

In Spain they have a TV channel that just shows the feed from a camera on the front of a train. I suspect that is more interesting though than the 89 minutes of grass you will get from Drogba-cam.
