    Rather have it look bad than being totally unfair... dunno?

    I really think the Rugby way works even though it's similar to the tennis way...

    Never mind, you and I are not going to agree, plenty of fans in Europe would like to look at it, probably the same percentage as here on this board.

    I think they could devise a system that does not hinder the game, and it ALREADY stops all the time for flops, and for PKs, free kicks, set pieces, goal kicks...lots....

    I think there is time in there to add in a bit of replay on key goals or calls....you don't...ok...agree to disagree.

    :confused: Oxymoron?

    Why don't you agree that he was right and saying that the IRISH didn't ask for officiating to change, and that you were pointing out that they wanted a rematch, only. :eek:

    There is no time in there for your foolishness of "replay" this or that. Keep the game intact.

    Your addition of the photo with boobs without a spoiler is juvenile, sir. Please SPOILER IT.

    Because tons of Irish fans and commentators were talking about that very thing.

    Not that you give a crap, you are on his side.

    Get the calls right, the players deserve it.

    The referee's a human. He is bound to make mistakes. IT WASN'T THAT CLEAR. IT WAS CLOSE. YOU needed a replay to start the argument that it wasn't. Didn't you? :confused:

    I will agree that they were robbed vs. SLOVENIA. Today's was really close.

    I don't give a flying rat's ****ing ass that a referee is human, they should not be deciding the games, that is NOT THEIR JOB !

    And, No, it was not close.

    Fifa even said in situations like that the benefit should go to the offensive player.

    The point is, they have the technology to get it right, they should do just that.

    Let coaches have one challenge a match, and it has to be on goals scored etc.

    That alone would help a lot....

    True. Scorers should not miss their chances and pass beautifully and shoot at the goal and score. Referees should NOT decide the game. I agree.
    You sound like you were there. :grin:

    I'm sorry, sir, but NO. :eek: No technological crap.

    OFFSIDES. *Wait for coach to challenge*
    Stop the play.
    Let the ref walk ALL THE WAY TO THE MIDFIELD.
    View three or four different perspectives.
    Talk about it with other refs.
    Go get the ball.

    Like... 2 minutes there.

    NOPE, CAN'T be done quickly. :(

    Looked like a handball there. That's the kind of calls that have been getting called lately.....

    Barely hit his arm.

    I agree keep the replay review **** out of soccer. Also, flopping in soccer's never really bothered me, probably because I'm spanish. I just laugh it off, I don't understand why people make such a big deal out of it.

    No he didn't that ball bounced high off chest and maybe grazed his shoulder, and the arms were in a natural position.

    Not a hand ball in any stretch.....
