i hate football.....the reasos being:

-diving
-the bit where they act like they have a broken leg then get a free kick and are fine
-david beckham
-the way people say 'we beat charlton 2-1' (or whoever..) its like, ok what position do you play???

do you think football would be better if they had video referees, it would cut all of the diving hopefully...

I think that it would definitely be much better, I'm not really into watching football, I suck at playing aswell, but I like taking part purely because it's good fun.

He's quite a good player really, he's just too commercialised now.

I know what you mean, it's really stupid the way people say stuff like that, why do they say "we" god damn, how many people must play for Manchester United ... like 1 Million .

nice reasons

i think video refs should only be used in extreme cases..

where the linesmen/ref have no view.

think Man U vs Spurs, Roy Carroll's howler..

agreed with stigmata...

and tbh, all those reasons exist in other sports too (except david beckahm, but that's not a reason)


video referees would be fun to be able to review old battles on the field

Video Refs ALL THE WAY so all footbal teams in the world dont get robbed like benfica(my team) got against porto in this GOAL, which wasnt counted..

Hmm, I don't know if video referees would be good... yes, sometimes it would be fairer, but that's a part of football.

I don't know how it is in your country, but here in Argentina football is a passion, so phrases like "we broke your ass yesterday" are normal. Anyways, what would football be without fans?
(I'm still sad/angry about Boca. )

IMHO, football would be better if players didn't get paid huge amounts of money, then they would just play for the game and not the money.

the good ones would stop at the age of 28 and the game would suck because there is no objective

wtf thats so blatantly a goal

i like the idea of using video refs, you cant argue with video footage really

I was soooo mad when this goal wasn't counted. I'm a spurs supporter and it was 0-0 against Manchester United. We were going to be happy with a draw, then with practically the last kick of the game, Pedro Mendes shot from about 60 yards out, the keeper dropped it over the line and scooped it back out.
I was watching it live on a stream and i got so annoyed when they didn't give it. Btw, this is the goal Stigmata was talking about.



Here's a video of it as well. http://www.putfile.com/media.php?n=Man-U-vs.-Tottenham-1-4-05

This made me sure that football needs video referees. I know people say its part of football, but it's just not right for teams to be disallowed an obvious goal, or players be sent off when the other team dives. IMO it's just stupid.

I don't see what's wrong with that. I say it all the time. If you support a club, you feel part of that club, and you say 'we' feeling like a member of the club. And yes IMO a supporter is part of the club.
