Quote: monkshood "Well that seems to have got a small debate going. Anyone got any ideas about helping the man in the middle get his decisions better. As i put in my last mail there could be an argument for 4no line judges + the 2 in goal judges. At least with 4 they could keep up with play ( I HOPE).I would not like to see the AUSSIE way because having 2 in the middle they still have problems at times.'"
I don't see why this couldn't have been asked in the other thread?
I don't see how having another pair of touch judges that do virtually nothing would make a significant difference. All they'd do is steal a wage.
Best way would be for a video ref to have a program that can read the velocity of the player as he passes, and then work out how far forward the ball has gone after the pass. I know there are tons of other factors like the wind and the video footage not giving a 100% clear determination of where the ball is, but surely it's better to be 80% accurate than just ignore it?
