Not to mention the controversial red cards on Klose and Kaka! Yeesh, what's going on with the refs these days? Why can't they embrace instant replays like those of the third umpire in cricket?
- anc2020 16y agoRightly or wrongly, because they want to keep the game low tech and reproducible in the park.
- jpd 16y agoShockingly, one time a few friends and I managed to play soccer in the park without any refs at all!! Crazy right? It was like a completely different game! /sarcasm The low-tech argument is not valid. People play football, baseball, basketball in the park all the time. There is no love-lost due to lack of replays, shot clocks, etc.
- makmanalp 16y agoMaybe because it makes referees redundant? Without the judgment calls even the fans can do it.
