Is it about time for a three challenge rule? Allowing managers to challenge such poor penalty awards?

Recommended Posts

[quote user="lappinitup"][quote user="Indy"]If a penalty is not awarded or goal dissalowed for offside then there should be a challenge allwoed by the Manager! just the three per game. It would not take up much time nor would it be every two minutes because it would be upto the manager to use them wisely.[/quote]Seriously? Imagine this scenario...City are under pressure, all the players are in our half, the ball is booted forward and collected by Kei Kamara who charges forward and is one-on-one with the keeper. Kei rounds the keeper and just as he''s about to release his shot, the opposing manager appeals for offside. The appeal is dismissed so City are awarded a free kick with all the opposing eleven players behind the ball...after the police have quelled the riot?[/quote]

In the scenario I suggested, you would not be able to stop play. If Kamara scored it could be reviewed after the goal is scored. For situations where there is no immediate break in play the manager/captain signals to the 4th official, they review while play goes on and if necessary the play is brought back if the initial decision is found to be wrong. If there is a break in play in the mean time the play stops until a decision has been made.

It''s so simple, it might go against some of the old fashioned ideals of the game but as I said before, when a season in the PL is worth £60m + I''d much rather a bit of common sense and use of technology already available. Love the idea of doing away with linesmen as well and using a combination of cameras on rails and Hawkeye.

One change I would support however is the introduction of technology for offsides and do away with linesman. There is absolutely no need to have linesmen now. A camera and computer can tell if a player is offside immediately, 100% accuratly, 100% of the time. Some of you will be driving around in cars that make 500 decisions every SECOND so if you think that this change would slow the game down I urge you to stop living in 1955 and join us in 2013.

I am kind of on your side here. I like the idea of using technology when it comes to offsides. I am also a fan of simplifying the offside rule to where you are offside if an attacking player is inbetween the defence and the keeper when the ball is kicked. None of this crap about interferring with play or not eitehr you are onside or you are not.

 

I don''t however agree with getting rid of linesmen. They should be made Assisstant referees. There should be 4 of them. Each running one half the pitch on both sides. This won''t help stop incompetence but it will give the referee''s more help. You often see goal kicks and corners given the wrong way because the linemasn is on the wrong side of the pitch and the ref is 30 yards away with a plyer in his line of sight.

 

I don''t think the challenge rule is a good one as some smart managers will find a way to manipulate the call. I just think there should be more help for the refs. The 6th official should be able to review penalty and free kick decisions. They should even be allowed to rule on acts of violent conduct. I just don''t think anyone affiliated with either side should be allowed to have anything to do with the decision making process.

I honestly think making the ref hooked up to a mic that goes through the stadium sound system would solve it.

I can''t see a ref telling a packed stadium a linesman 50 yards further away from him has caused him to over-rule himself and give a penalty he didn''t see/want to give.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

people need to think about what they say first.

whilst I''m not sure if replays are the answer, that certainly isn''t how it would work.

as with other sports that use replays. the opposing manager would not use his appeal UNLESS KK had scored.

hence, he would only be able to use it in a break of play, say if he DID score or if he knocked it off the keeper out for a corner.

if the keeper latched onto the ball, a review would not be used, and the game would carry on as normal.

I really don''t see how people are struggling with this concept.

and why does that mean you wouldn''t wait for a break in play? if the supposed offside did not harm the opposition there would be no need for it.

using words like "can''t" is taking it to the extreme, as you CAN wait for a break in play(as if the offside did work against them in some manner, there would be a break almost right away), just like many other sports, but is it just that you would not like it to?

Tennis is done by player, as there is no real management system. but it is impossible for that to be done in open play.

and as for the NFL, it is done as you explain, a manager(coach) on the sidelines, mic''d up to a team member watching from a live tv stream.

if the opposition play and go forward to get a touchdown, but the defending team thinks there was a foul or the ball didn''t fully cross the line, they then call for a review during the stop.

and thanks to the three review rule in American football. this probably adds maybe 5-7 minutes to a full game. the reason for the amount of time an AF game takes is due to all the stops for adverts.

wouldn''t it simply be a sort of "play advantage" type rule? if the offside did not hurt the team, why not just carry on instead of using a review? if it did hurt the team a stop in play would be used.

I struggling to think of a situation where if a decision hurts a team, a stop in play doesn''t come.

a defending player fouled in an attacking play - if it leads to a goal or corner - stop in play, review takes place. if it leads to a goal kick or counter attack - advantage.

offside wrongly given - stop in play - review - free kick from the point of the offside pass.

offside not given - if it leads to a goal or corner - stop in play - review. if it leads to a goal kick or counter attack - advantage played.

the same can be done for corners, throw in, and any foul in general.

I would agree with this. I would like to see a ref be able to refer the matter to a video official if he is genuinely unsure about a given incident/decision. I guess though you would then get controversy where referees refuse to refer decisions which are subsequently shown to be incorrect. I am sure some would be willing to use the technology whereas others would be too arrogant to do so.

Really? I can''t see how this would help at all. Would make it even harder to get a decision away at places like Old Trafford and the Emirates.

Agree. In most cases where a poor or incorrect decision is made, we as the watching public know why hes made it. We knew at the weekend why arsenal got a penalty (the linesman saw kel pull him to the ground) and having that conversation available for all to hear would have made no difference would it?

BYG - the home fans would need to make noise before refs could be intimidated and places like OT or the Emirates :D

but agreed, it could be a problem somewhere like anfield.

but can you imagine a ref saying this?

"there were each a player from Arsenal and Norwich tugging at shirts. I thought nothing of it, but my linesman 50 yards away brought to my attention that it is a penalty."

...obviously it wouldn''t come out exactly like that, but if they had to explain it so not only the people in the stadium can hear it, but also radio broadcasters, quotes on the BBC, Sky, and other sporting stations.

they would be walking into many stadiums and getting abuse before games even kicked off.

Regardless of people''s opinions it looks like there are plenty of ideas at least worthy of consideration by the powers and maybe a trial. Many posters reasons for not doing it can be easily factored into a solution. However just look at how hard it was to get goal line tech implemented - there seems to be no appetite for it at the top of the game and increasingly out of touch reasons given for not doing it.

The technology is there, the motive to do it is there, intelligent people can surely come up with a way to make it as little of a disruption as possible. I just can''t understand the ridiculous argument that people would rather have a game flow than have an opportunity to ensure decisions are made correctly.

My opinion though is that the decision should be two way. The ref can refer these decisions "upstairs" and the man "upstairs" can also highlight things to the ref.
So like the tackle the other week by the Wigan youngster McManaman if the TV guy had seen it then he could flag it up to the ref with his recommendation.
I would also make a summary of all instances of communication between the two individuals available to the clubs after the match.

It''s all fubar now. The introduction of a multitude of cameras in to Stadiums is allowing fans to see more then we ever have done and every week there are bad decisions made affecting the out come. Refs need help and not some tool standing behind the goal to see if the ball crossed the line but not the blatant handball mere feet away.

same as an injury. the ref will stop play if the challenge is made. if the challenge is unsuccessful, drop ball to the team in possession at the challenge.

Whilst I would be massively in favour of something that would work.

End of the day, like cricket, nfl and Rugby. It would be only used for a matter of fact and would need irrefutable evidence.

In reality, that would mean Norwich could have appealed the corner. Probably wouldn''t have done. Then appealed the penalty, they would have sided with the ref as there was a shirt pull, and it wouldn''t have been irrefutable.

The third goal, Walcott offside we would have appealed and won.

Whilst football at times appears like it needs a ''system'', the reality having irrefutable evidence would just mean offside, and ball over line (corners). Not sure, what would happen for ''handballs''. Since the wording deliberate, would be quite hard to overturn as a matter of fact.

The ref gains quite a lot by keeping high profile managers on their sides.

Every time a slightly dodgy mistake or even the correct decision against Man Utd. You see Fergie come out and have a massive go at the ref.

Whilst everyone, rightly say, these are professionals (believe 80k a year). Whilst I would love to be on that salary, I don''t think I would like the abuse they get from every ground, every media outlet and a large proportion of the managers. In the past we''ve seen ref''s get death threats from Chelsea fans, resulting in a couple of ref''s retiring.

I use to remember a time when cricket umpires and tennis officials use to receive the same treatment. However, I can''t remember the last time that the authority of a match official at cricket/rugby/tennis was questioned. This is the biggest plus from use of technology, it removes to a large degree the mistakes from officials, and places it in the players/teams.. should have reviewed it, and everyone moves on.
