      Fifa have been experimenting with using 5 referees in matches involving Brazilian matches.

      There would be the usual 3 plus an extra one used in each half on the field of play.

      Is this a progression? Would it for instance have helped in say Manu/Spurs dodgy penalty decision. Webb was quite some way from where the incident took place in Spurs penalty area, another pair of eyes closer to the scene may well not have given that decision.

      Alternatively the assistant referees, instead of just patrolling the lines could be roaming in their half of the field, as long as they are in line with the last defender.

      Often all sorts of things are happening off the ball, whilst the ref is racing towards where the action is taking place.

      It is often very difficult for a referee to be up with play all the time, especially when a goalkeeper hoofs it up into the oppositions half, say from a corner.

      I like the idea of 5 refs for professional football but not for amateur, as i believe it would be difficult to get 5 officials for each match in amateur football......... your thoughts?

      Why have 5 refs and no video?

      It'd make sense to have video refs more I reckon.

      Also why not just have 2 refs 1 for each half?

    4. These users same thanks for this post

      I'm not against video refs. In fact I wish we had them.

      Hockey have used 2 umpires forever and it works very well.

      Sod the cost. What is the cost to teams who say may get relegated or lose points due to some dodgy refereeing decisions, because we only have one guy on the park with a wistle.

      Oh so you are saying do away with linesmen!!!

      They cant get it right when standing oposite the last man let alone being in the field of play!!!

      Crap idea. Leave lino's on the line and leave 1 man in the middle to make the decisions for us all to talk about.

      I`ve heard that there will be one extra ref in each box.
      I think it will work.
      But I prefer video challenge.

      Forgive my ignorance but arnt the Linesmen now assistant referees.

      They should be used for more than just off sides as their job description states.

      If it is a big decision it should be blown or flagged by the ref/assistant ref and then in consultation with his assistanst the ref should make a decision based on the views of all 3/4 officials.

      I think the first step in erradicating refereeing mistakes is to get the assistant referees more involved in decision making if they genuinely have abetter view of an incident.

      they are not talking about doing away with linesman at all.

      They are talking about adding 2 additional assistant referees who will remain in opposing halves and assist refs.

      Yes, I also agree withassistant refs being more involved (Which they are not at present) At present assistant refs are what they were before...........LINESMEN...............with a different title! It doesn't appear to have changed the fact that they have little say in decisions made by refs.
