It'll add seconds onto the game, and make it play better and fairer.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1700788.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1700788.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay??
I've always like the NFL's system of "Challenges" where a team can use a timeout to review a play. The refs look at it, see if they were wrong/right or stuff that they missed, and then assess any penalties. If the team was right, they get another challenge.

In crunch time, crucial plays and referee calls should be automatically reviewed without the use of a challenge.

Not sure if futbol has a system like this already in place but its something I'd like for ref-impacting sports. Refs are human after all. Maybe they can give coaches some kind of colored card for challenges, etc.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1700807.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1700807.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay?? I think it's ridiculous that a international multi-million pound sport doesn't utilise all the high tech equipment available.

Certain incidents still won't be clear. You will have players hanging around for ages in the rain and the decision will still be incorrect.

Have seen rugger matches where they use video replays and refer it to the ref in the TV and they can still make the wrong call.

Certain decisions could go to TV as KK says, but overall let the game flow.

And as i type this, Argentina was given a goal, that should've been called back to offsides, and the Refs couldn't get the call right even after talking to the assistant ref.

Classic disco, yes I do.

Much better than what on nowadays, it was fun, the artists could sing and most disco acts didnt take themselves seriously or have a humongous attitude common to the (c)rappers.

Some football federation would be unable to pay for the technology or unwilling to pay at least.
If it was brought in you would then have the situation of some games being covered by it and not others.

How would you apply the technology? would sides dispute EVERY goal or offside decision? How would you appeal any offside rulings? As soon as an offside ruling was made the teams would have to declare their intent to query It would have to be in the back of teams minds during open play .

A chip in the ball sounds like a good idea though the cost probably outweighs the amount of incidents of goals where footballs do/don't cross the line. Again, who pays for the technology? FIFA? Football federations? Stadium owners? ball manufacturers? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701185.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701185.page GMT Re:Fifa should introduce instant replay??

Here's the thing, a Ref could easily watch TV and see probably everything that needs to be seen, the TV stations have the tech, they use it everyday. All fifa has to do is add a ref, another headset, and a portable TV, it might take a little time from the flow of the game, but not anymore than anyone taking a dive or just wasting time would in any other game.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701208.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701208.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay??

Not sure I'd use it for anything else (fouls etc), as this can be open to interpretation.

Actually, I would want to see it used to stop cheating, like when a player goes down writhing in agony despite being barely touched. Trying to get people sent off like this should be a straight red card.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701246.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701246.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay??

IMHO.

It's not a flowing game due to time-wasting and diving etc. the game would be stopped for a foul anyway, it's not slowing down the play much if at all and frankly it's worth it for the fairness it would introduce.

And as for Fifa's argument that they couldn't afford it, I personally believe that to be utter BS. hcordes has already stated a cheap way to do it, if they can pay Fabio Capello £6m a year (and what a job he's done) then they can afford a camera or to hire someone to look at a line.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701303.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701303.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay??

Most of the balls in use at the world cup have the microchip in them but they refuse to use the technology.

From a public relations perspective, soccer will never take hold in the U.S. if it refuses to attempt to take on an air of legitimacy in regards to ensuring proper calls are being made.

A sport that has the appearance of being rigged and/or riddled with obviously blown calls in regards to goals (which are so few to begin with) is only hurting it's own growth and the respect it can ever hope to gain beyond the hardcore fans.

Some of the calls in this World Cup have been so blatantly wrong and game deciding that they make a farce of the event.

Refs who blow an obvious call as bad as say the England goal that was over the line by over thee feet should never be allowed to ref a pro soccer match again...

Disgraceful and mind numbing...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701333.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701333.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay??

also lets add the "non-foul" foul that cost the USA a WINNING goal against Slovenia, and of course the very next match an opening goal against Algeria. I'd be more inclined to "let it go" as being byassed to my home country, but in most games i've watched, its been blown calls ALL OVER THE PLACE, and usually one team gets the better end of the majority messed up calls. Argentina fouled Mexico at least twice as much as Mexico to Argentina, but Mexico got called for twice the number Argentina did... and thats not even getting into the goal(S)]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701369.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701369.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay?? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701378.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701378.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay??

I think a challenge system could work well in that it would allow teams to force the review of plays which decided goals, but how do you deal with failed challenges? A goal kick perhaps? A free start from center for the challenged team?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701487.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701487.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay??

This. Just put another official on the goal line - he'll be right there to witness any fouls, dives or balls crossing the line. Failing that, I think there should be a fifth official watching the play on a monitor. If he witnesses something he can draw the ref's attention to it instantly via means of an earpiece/mic combo - the game wouldn't have to stop.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701637.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701637.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay??

I'm not a basketball fan, so I can't really speak to it all that much though the amount of scoring that takes place in the NBA makes a comparison of the two moot. One or two fishy calls in an NBA game might have zero impact as both teams will score 40-50 times in a game.

In Soccer most games are decided by one goal and most games have less then four or five goals total scored in a match. Any blown call in soccer as far as if something is or isn't a goal has serious game altering ramifications...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701776.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701776.page GMT Fifa should introduce instant replay??

I was commenting on the extent to which professional basketball, which continues to be marred by corruption allegations, is a very popular sport in the United States.

As far as game altering ramifications: it doesn't take much for a basketball official to foul out a star player, or issue technical fouls. Of course, there is an appeals process in NBA basketball, so it isn't a perfect analog, but I think it does significantly undermine the notion that corruption will prevent a sport from becoming popular. To some extent, soccer itself provides it own case founded on the obvious surge in popularity the sport has seen in recent years.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701821.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/302322/1701821.page GMT
