That "goal"

I think 1950 has got it spot on. Technology could open a can of worms. Gordon Taylor refers to the financial importance of wrong decisions. The law makers wrote the laws about the game being played between the chalk lines not the implications of a manager getting sacked or missing out on the CL.
Football is the greatest game because it flows, is fast and has few rules to mess it up and make it controversial. Now all of a sudden it is.
To be controversial, ban TV from showing the games at all! Then its down to the decision on the pitch.
That of course will not happen but its the one way of stopping it.

i actually agree with that. as i said before, i don't think referees have got worse, its that all mistakes are now glorified in the media for days, weeks sometimes.

Mainly for the top four teams.

But everyone ignored the dive that was actually a foul by Bennett on Tevez at the weekend.

Agreed. It is another example though of decisions balancing themselves out throughout the season. Inevitably when the next decision goes against us people will say it's unfair and will forget about incidents such as the Tevez 'dive.'

i mentioned this on the ipswich board. i believe, overall, this season our decisions probably have evened themselves out. for others however, like qpr, i don't think they have.
