The ref may get jettisoned to divi 3 or something, course that doesn't help us today like.

 

Replays aren't the way to go either, take it on the chin and get on with it.

 

No, I disagree totally with that, why should technology not be used just because it's not how it's been done in the past. If a decision is wrong it should be able to be remedied. The game has moved on from the days of 'Chopper' Harris, if the rules are to be enforced correctly what with all the changes as to the game being barely a contact sport then it needs to be backed up by hard evidence and replays would help that. It works in rugby, it'd work in football. I also think the refs should be mic'd up for everyone to hear.

Not going into the tech debate too much but I do believe the sport would be better off with systems that ensure the correct decision gets made as often as possible.

How would a replay have helped today? The ref saw everything clearly, he simply didn't apply the law correctly.

Exactly. As I've said before there is absolutely no reason why everyone except the referee should know the correct decision when an incident occurs (or immediately after it). As it stands that is often the case and as a result we're left with some very poor refereeing errors.

Google Telford Mills. Then you'll truly know what suffering is. Makes this dick today look like Collina .

Actually I think that one was ok. Taylor himself wasn't offside but our other player who took a swing at the ball was.

 

Game over :(

he was who took a swing at it, cisse was the one in front but waited till taylor touched it.

 

If it was Cisse he too took a swing at it - missed the ball though. Then Taylor hit his shot wide. It was offside when Cisse made a play at the ball. Matters bought though obviously.
