Unfortunately I disagree with you on this particular point. How can a review which shows the correct decision affect his control of the game!This would destroy a referees match control if a decision is overturned!
It would affect your match control because all the players as well as the fans know that you have made a big mistake and consequently you will lose credibilityUnfortunately I disagree with you on this particular point. How can a review which shows the correct decision affect his control of the game!
However, I agree that this is not suitable for football for different reasons. The example I always quote is:
"a challenge occurs on blue in red penalty area, referee rules no foul - play on;
ball quickly played down field for a red break-away;
blue defender make clear DOGSO challenge (which boards on VC) and injuries the star red forward so he has to leave the FOP;
referee blows for DOGSO offence.
In the 5 seconds that has occured, the Blue manager challenges the referees original penalty decision. On review, penalty should have been given.
Therefore, penalty awarded - no sending off of blue defender and loss of red forward to injury.
Try explaining that to 50,000 fans!"
plus:
- which language do you use to communicate the review? rugby, Cricket and American football all use English
- who does the review? original referee, 4th official, Extra official employed at TV offical?
