    Replay has not been enacted for fifa world cup games, more's the pity. Unfortunately for you, replay is allowed in the bbs arena. I have no desire to go back and dig out every post from our banter for your viewing pleasure - but everytime you (or others) brought up a counterpoint it was addressed (except for your brilliant observation that sammy is "gay" :rolleyes: ).

    I have no issue with the idea of more officials, for the record - but the arguments against replay are not convincing either. Simply saying that "I don't understand" is meaningless and a gigantic indication of validity for my POV.

    No way, I can pause the DVR.......commercials are NOT an issue...at least for me, I am free to drink beer and eat chips and even...take a dump if I want without missing a minute of the action.

    Technology mi amigo....embrace it...

    For the mentally challenged it is fixed for the intelligent folks on this site, it was another failed attempt by a Fifa apologist.

    Really, those of us? Do you have a mouse in your pocket?

    I've read many more arguments the other way in more traditional soccer forums. I am pretty sure you are in the minority.

    If you and rhad bothered to read, I am in favor of improvement but my way is simpler and better, there is no comparison. You can rag on about your method but it is full of holes, there are no amount of self declaration of ownage is gonna change that.

    Checking to see if a player is offside is very simple. Someone upstairs checks it after a goal and a decision is made quickly college football style.

    Nice insult btw. Very clever.

    It's your insult, btw.

    You have not read enough about the problems with replay.

    Man, that sucks. Mexico got screwed.

    They could have beaten Argentina 10-0. Probably would have won the whole damn thing.

    Hell, even a Panaphonics would've done the trick.

    but some of us don't want it. we want it pure. If the NHL can add two refs, so can grass hockey.

    two running around refs, two extra linesman, two goal keeper refs.
