[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 691780, member: 7261"] lol.....you actually took the stand that there shouldn't be full time refs :D But I had to go to instant replay for that ;) Good points you make. I waiver on full time, but I do believe there needs to be better consistency. More eyes on the game from the booth and access to quick replays is a simple solution to that. While you need refs on the field, I think everyone is in agreement that sometimes their vantage point is not the best, nor can they watch 22 players at all times. With the way technology is today, the average viewer at home gets to see multiple angles, super slow motion, close ups, etc, so of course they think the refs should be getting things right. Meanwhile, the refs today are still viewing football from the same angles and speed that refs were viewing them from when the game was invented and then being expected to make a call that is consistent with what technology actually shows. So i think when people have a beef with officiating, it's easy to fall back on "WTF, these guys are just part time refs, no wonder they messed up the call", when in reality it's just tweaks (which we see yearly) to the system that need to keep happening. Call me **** or my idea blasphemy to the game, but I would love to see a GPS tracking device somehow used to locate where the ball should be placed on the field after each play. That is one thing that drives me nuts about watching a game, the ball not getting placed correctly and it happens way more then it should and often can be a costly error. [/QUOTE]
