Refereeing mistakes

[The Third Dukes]

Would a good way to top it be the Euro 2004 incident, already mentioned? I think so.

Thanks.

Perhaps in your opinion. I'm sure every nationalality sees it differently.

Personally, I just don't care about it.

I'd of probably cared more if you didn't try and make it sound like some cheesy ass hollywood movie, and if it wasn't basketball, but I don't, nor do any other non-americans.

Sorry, but no. England still could have (and should have) won the game -- penalties were still forthcoming. That's not even close to equivalent. The officials in '72 basically kept re-running the game until the USSR won, like some kid shooting hoops in his backyard. Not good enough.

Apparently the time the fourth official puts up is the minimum number of minutes that are to be played. So if 2 is put up, it could be anywhere upwards of 2 - which makes it pointless putting the minutes up, it still doesn't mean much.

Sadly, right now, I doubt that there is any intention from the authorities to use video technology to aid the refereeing.

I am glad it isnt happening now, not all clubs can afford it y'know. Sitting up there in your ivory tower it is easy to say 'Oh, just introduce it already!'. It wouldn't be fair to lower league teams if they couldn't have it because they can't afford it. The things that some people have suggested are too much. Scoreboards for instance, at Orient I doubt if we could afford it right now what with the building work going on, hell we only have two stands at the moment!

Sounds about right. 3 years ago was the beggining of a dark, dark time where wins were nothing more than fables and myth. I live in Hackney, not too far away from (the home of football >_>) Brisbane Road

A little bit further out then that, I'm from Dagenham, home of one of the most inconsistent teams ever.

But I'm a Fulham fan.....another inconsistent team....wow, I sure do pick 'em!
