samuelburrowsuk Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Completely irrelevant to the quality of the game, but, will the match engine show the two extra "penalty box" officials for Europa League games?

samuelburrowsuk Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Cheers for the clarification. Having just watched the first half of the Fulham game, it looks like a terrible job. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cityull Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Cheers for the clarification.

baker.simon Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 not about looking good though is it? if it help with decisions then its a good thing. It just means that if someone misses something now, there will be even more of an uproar! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelburrowsuk Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 I'm a qualified ref (I'm sure there are plenty on these boards) and I really wouldn't fancy the job! Lot of standing about, trying to keep warm in Moscow in November could be troublesome. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

drunkpunk Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 The additional assistants did okay I thought last night. In the Everton game one gave a corner (correctly) when the ref or ass. ref wouldn't have been able to see. I'd rather have video technology but maybe this is half decent middle ground. I'd expect it to be included in the game, its been known this has been happening for a long time and I'd expect it to be in top leagues and champions league next season.

I play indoor football and I often feel sorry for the refs (and ashamed about my teammates). Sometimes I wonder how the refs must feel after the match (considering this is their 'hobby'.) Cheers!

FrazT Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 This will be in the game when it becomes law, so it is unlikely to be in FM 10 as this is currently an experiment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hursty2 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I like the idea of including these goal line refs instead of cameras as it can be implemented all the way down the football spectrum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

philly_flyer10 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Interesting that the reason given for not using replays is they want football to be the same on all levels. Yet theyve already said this wont filter down to all levels (they struggle to find enough refs and have to use subs as linesman) so they are already changing a the game. Also, they get someone to stand in the way of the crowd all game long, the officials wont like it because they will be subject to abuse and being spat on. Just use IR and be done with it.

Can you see the difference? And this doesn't mean I agree that anybody should be shouted at for a mistake; employee or professional ref. To err is human, respect and all that. But that probably makes me old fashioned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have a pretty lousy job then. Anyone who has half a brain knows that the most effective way to manage people is to show them some respect, shouting doesn't really get the job done. If its that awful then the disciplinary process will suffice. Every referee who goes out on the pitch tries their best and whilst it can be frustrating when decisions go against our teams, they are mistakes which are never made on purpose. The game couldn't happen without referees and for everyone who thinks its acceptable to shout open, personal abuse (I've never really care about brief expressions of frustration) should really give it a go and they may discover how difficult it is. As for implementing the AAR (Additional Assistant Referees) all the way down to grass roots level, I'm quite sceptical. Its hard enough trying to get a referee sometimes for Sunday League matches, and 95% of the games I do at that level end up with "Club Linesmen" who can be more trouble than they're worth with ridiculous biased decisions (trust me, you remember the faces to try and stop that happening later in the season!). I wouldn't enjoy being on an officiating crew of two club linesmen and two club AAR's, could be an absolute nightmare! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
