Additional Assistant Referees Yay or Na

Youd have to be some sort of recluse to have avoided the controversy behind Frances dubious qualification for the 2010 World Cup. Thierry Henry clearly handled the ball twice before cro sing for William Gallas to head home from point blank range.Thierry Henry wont be ordering a pint of Guinne s in Dublin any time soonThis Ivan Nova Jersey clearly strengthened the case for the introduction of new measures in football. Whether its video technology or extra officials behind the goal, theres no doubt either of these would have prevented such an event from happening and Im going to analyse the case for the introduction of extra officials.Of course introducing a man stood behind each goal would eliminate the majority of dodgy decisions and controversy, but is it really worthwhile? After all, the only game Ive seen where they were deployed still managed to get a manager riled up. Everton bo s David Moyes insisted that one of the Steven Brault Jersey additional a sistants mi sed an incident in the build up to Louis Sahas red card against AEK Athens. So there you are, proof that you will never please everyone with or without the introduction of new officials.David Moyes wasnt impre sed with additional a sistant refereesPersonally I am against the introduction of extra officials, video technology or any other new way of eliminating what I believe is a huge element of the beautiful game. Sure, Im just as angry as anyone when Richard Rodriguez Jersey my team concedes a dubious penalty or a player gets wrongly sent off, but how good is the feeling when it goes in your favour? Am I alone in thinking that these occasional mistakes are what make football so unique when compared to other sports?Football has survived for hundreds of years with a referee and two linemen, so why change now? Lets be honest, you really wouldnt have had much to talk about on your lunch break over the last two weeks without Henry-gate.The easiest 90 minutes of work on the planet?Another reason for my opposition to the introduction of such officials is the hypocrisy shown by UEFA. Sepp Blatter seems to be constantly lambasting top European clubs for spending too much money and threatening punishment. I find it a little rich that he does this then is actively campaigning to waste money on hiring two extra people per game to do a job which really isnt nece sary. Fair enough, Lonnie Chisenhall Jersey another two wages for 90 minutes wont be too much, but if it is implimented in every European league its going to add up. In England alone it will mean paying an extra 184 people per weekend! Its just so unnece sary.To finish off, video technology is also a huge no from me Francisco Cervelli Jersey . Football is a game played at a fast tempo, to be stopping the flow of the game every time the referee may have got a decision wrong would have far too big an effect, especially when Alex Ferguson is pacing the touchline!I honestly think that whilst it isnt perfect, football is as close as well ever get.
