The process does not need to be as slow as it is in cricket.

Maybe we could just have video ref decisions on penalties, goals, handballs etc?

I don't think the relay of information would be quick enough in a fast-paced game.

For me I think that we should have 5 extra refs in different areas of the ground, or watching monitors and each one gets a different camera angle. Each ref has a button and if 4 of the 5 extra refs presses their buttons within 1 second of each other a signal is given to the ref (the same as when the button is pressed on the linesman's flag). The ref will then know to stop play and will be able to use headset to communicate with the other refs.

This then results in an instant response for the ref, players and fans.

How complicated???

I see what ya sayin mate but why not just have one ref sitting in the refs changing room with 5 camers? 1 mans decision is then final.

What should happen is that the fans, actual ref and players get to see the exact replays the 4th or 5th official see so they can still have an opinion and be involved in the incident. It would make the stopage in play more bearable for the viewers and participants by being involved somewhat.

Its what makes this game so so bitter sweet and why we all love it so much.

No mate, I do not. I love that players spend many years for training, improving their skills and fight on the pitch out of their socks, but I won't accept the fact that refs can influence the game. 11 vs 11, nothing more. Bad mistakes cost too much. This is not just about pens decisions, players sometimes pay with their injuries for poor referring. If one man can't control a game, replace him with two men, machines, robots, whatever. This game is for players, not for refs mistakes.
