[QUOTE="Topper, post: 178201, member: 186250"] Firstly there's nothing wrong with my teeth, ;) secondly my sarcastic post previously just supports what you're saying, the means is there whether it be with TV camera playbacks or 6 referees or 22 referees the means is there it is [B]the desire[/B] that is not, the authorities would rather have the [B]contraversy [/B]as even bad press is better than no press and as you quite rightly point out there would be nothing to talk about or indeed argue about in the pub later on. The truth is that you can talk about it until you are blue in the face, the only people who have control of it will change it the way [B]they[/B] see fit and the paying public will have no say in it which is why I have not paid to go to a football match for over 40 years. In recent years I have talked to young fanatics who spend a large proportion of their salary travelling round supporting their club, lining the pockets of the grossly overpaid ballerina superstars, I have tried to make them see the error of their ways but alas to no avail. To get back on topic, being a ref is a bit like being a traffic warden except you get on the telly every week O-no [/QUOTE]
