    red cards
    englands well-over-the-line non-goal vs germany
    penalty or not penalty decisions

    if you are one of these people who the pundits are referring to when they say things like "people want things to argue / discuss in the pub" then please go jump off something high

    Penalties against Sunderland that change the game

    or just get high and dribble in the corner - I believe the majority of fans are SICK of bad decisions. Bollocks to fair play and the refs decision is final, people want fairness and the technology is easy to implement. The correctly phrased question is not IF the technology will be in place but WHEN - in the meanwhile please cart away the techno-philistine geriatrics who make the decisions, clinging to their old ways and dump them off in the nearest OAP home with a pile of 1950's magazines and lots of Camp Coffee.

    Technology is the way forward easy to implement and use, fat and fatter will not implement it until he is up for re-election and then only to garner votes from various FAs who actually want it but are tied to FIFA. People said exactly the same about Television and mobile phones and most new technology get it in now to stop all the talk about the refs and more talk about the games.

    Yes, not having replays for the refs mean when we see the replays they are proved useless. Does not help the game, also diving in the pen area will be picked up easier therefore there will be less of it.
    Sunday morning kickabout is not the same as the EPL and internationals so yes stop being stupid and get with the programme

    In theory its obviously the way forward however what decisions would it be used for. Can it be implemented so easily. I personally do not want to go down the route of a stop/start where every decision is questioned. A scenario, a team should have a penalty, not given, other side breakaway and score. Ref then reviews the penalty and decides it was. Cancels the breakaway goal. Yes it should be accepted but somehow cannot imagine bellamy, ballotelli etc saying bugger how unlucky am I. Alt: as suggested before, get rid of Sky and the cameras, everybody gets one view only in real time. Football Clubs would not accept this as obviously less money coming in. Plus side, may get rid of foreigners, cut diving and have honest, hard tackling football again.
    Sure some could have worded this better but hope you all get the drift.

    Easy question, IMHO you are one of very few!

    The extra official behind the goal hasn't worked, as proved by the amount of times they still get decisions wrong in front of them.

    With instant replay technology now so good the delay in games would be minimal, and only needed for game changing decisions.

    Watch how long the likes of Chelsea hold up the match with the whole team arguing with the ref.
    It takes minutes, a replay would take seconds and no arguments. <ok>
