Funnily enough I was watching SSN this morning, and Dermot Galagher was analysing the weekend's big descisions.
Incidentally he said that the barcodes disallowed goal was a goal. plain and simple, no debate needed. The ref got it wrong.
Then they went on about how hard it was for the ref to see everything that is going on and get all decisions right, etc, which I asked myself - Who the fuck then, is accountable?
He also said that it happens in the training camp too.
He said "if you had a room of 20 refs and they were asked to look at a penalty claim, you could guarantee that 10 would say it was a penalty and 10 would say it wasn't."
Then he said "actually if 19 said it was a penalty and 1 said it wasn't, then you would have a problem" (WTF?!?!)
Surely if everyone - players, refs, linesmen, pundits, fans, etc are all following the exact same set of rules that are set out for the game, then 19/20 calling a decision the same should be the proper outcome?
All this shit about it 'being down to interpretation of the rules, or what the ref thinks at the time' is an archaic load of shite.
I would prefer incidents in games being called correctly and talking points be about how the game was played, how well x player played, how good the goal was, etc, than 'was it a red card? was it a penalty'
Or 'Once again the ref influenced the result'
Yes, a big problem because it would all be even more obvious.Then he said "actually if 19 said it was a penalty and 1 said it wasn't, then you would have a problem" (WTF?!?!)
