Quality of officiating (1 Viewer)

Officials make mistakes...they occasionally get it wrong especially when your team is on the receiving end. However it is players who cheat and try and deceive, waste time, fein injury and question decisions even when it is clear they are wrong.

Would probably help if they occasionally admitted to getting it wrong. Was watching a ice hockey game this week. Ref blew, realised he'd messed up. Went and apologies to both coaches and restarted with the equivalent of a dropped ball. You'd never see that in football.

Agree that players need to be sorted as well. Think it could pretty easily be solved. Start at the top and have every game reviewed. Start dishing out automatic bans for any dives etc and they'd soon cut it out. Same with chatting to the ref all the time. Make that a yellow and anyone trying to get a player carded a red. You might have a chaotic couple of weeks but it would soon be cut out.

Couldn't agree more. Start at a he top...mind you with the corruption and chaos at Fifa it wouldn't be easy to do it throughout the world of football

I'm all for technology but video challenges in football are an awful idea imo

In American Football the coaches are allowed two red challenge flags. if their appeal is successful they retain their two appeals (or however many are left). If the ruling stands they go down to one challenge (or zero if only one left) and they are charged a time out.

It would have to be modified for football, but something along those sorts of lines could at least be looked at. How it would work in practise I'm not so sure.

Well to be honest it would probably be quicker then the shit we get now.
If a player knew he could be caught out diving etc then they may start to play without all this awful rolling around the floor like a baby then 10 seconds later running like a Gazelle.Really pisses me off.
