And FIFA want the English FA to stop using video evidence to undermine refereeing decisions?

Give us refs who know the rules first!

Football should use video refs like in Super League

I'm a referee, I'm never wrogn...

That's just yet-another refferee slacking-off - kinda like they all do...

But he should have checked to see if all players were in their correct halves, even our lame men in black can do that in the Premiership!

I don't think this particular incident aids the need for the use of Video Technology, although many other incidents i've seen over the last 12 months certainly do!

I reckon that the refs should use T.V. camera's when the ball is on the line or just over. But there would be 1 problem with this, how would they stop play to check the camera's?

The play is usually stopped for at least a minute in such cases by the amount of protesting that goes on. In that time, the ref could run to the sidelines to see an instant replay.

All you need is 6 monitors around the field - one at each corner, and one either end of the halfway line.

What about if the ball is cleared off the line (but should be a goal) and the other team goes on to score.

What would the ref do then?

If there's a protest about a goal-line clearance, it should be reviewed by video instantly anyway - so in my view, play would be stopped before the other team went on to score.

At the amount of protests I get while reffing teams it's not a good idea!

What about amature football?

If you're gonna chage a rule then you gotta change it for all leagues...

Amature leagues are much harder than the Prem in terms of players as they moan more!

Saying that, U14s and 15s are probably the worst age to ref as they have that 'I know all the rules' feeling about themselves!

I had one kid who was pisssing me off on Sunday by moaning at me, moaning at other players, fouling and various other annoying things. Straigtht into the book!

2 U13 booked and 2 U14 booked too...

P.S I've got Andy Dursooos (sp!!) mobile number!

Just found it in one of my books...

They got my number too, it's quite scary!

Good. Phone Mr. Duh-so and tell him he's not fit to referee!
