DannyelBrazil 703 Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Call me conservative, but I don't like the video-judge thing, still, I'm favourable to 5 referees like Brazilian Championships already have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Palette86 155 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Call me conservative, but I don't like the video-judge thing, still, I'm favourable to 5 referees like Brazilian Championships already have. Me too. Offside needs video judge and alert system IMO(ex. players think the goal was clearly offside but referee judged No. 2 chances to claim in 1 match for example). Players who committed very doubtful dives and very vicious fouls should be punished strictly afterward...by giving more days of banned.For freekick we may see ordinarily see the spray soon all over the world. For corner kicks and throw ins,no need to use videos. BTW Blatter has been suggesting to introduce sin-bin system to reduce bad simulations . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 2046 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Tend to agree with Danny and Palette. If a panel of pundits can watch a video reply of somethig from 5 angles in slow motion and still disagree amongst themselves, what good is video technology going to do? I could see it working for offside decisions, but not for fouls, dives etc. I think the Premier League is the only league in the World that uses goal-line technology at the moment. We use a system called Hawkeye which uses cameras mounted in the stadium (the same system used at Wimbledon for line-calls). The system used in the World Cup will be different, using microchips embedded in the footballs instead. Nevertheless, for those of you who haven't seen it before, here's what goaline technology looks like...(sorry about the video quality) http://youtu.be/Pa1UhWCYdQk?t=6m16s Edited January 5, 2014 by Rob.

DannyelBrazil 703 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Actually, I think the goal lime technology to be used in the World Cup is the same from England. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. 2046 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) Just Googled it and we're both wrong Danny! http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/soccer/news/20130402/fifa-goalcontrol-goal-line-system.ap/ I thought Brazil 2014 was using the German GoalRef system which uses microchips in the balls but they're not, and nor are they using the British Hawkeye system which is used in the Premier League Instead, what we've got is a different German system called GoalControl which, like Hawkeye, uses cameras.

LDOG 72 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm open to technology, but only to check the most decisive of calls: a) if a ball fully passed through the goal-line awarding penalty kick yes or no There should be a challenge system to avoid abuse of this, like, both teams can make a limited amount of challenges to the referee's decisions and if they are wrong, they lose their challenge possibility for the rest of the game, pretty much like in Tennis or Field Hockey.

WorldCupJoe 16 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Not really. That's Russian corruption -- not the IOC's corruption. Why do you think they have chosen Sochi? Don't you think there is some money involved in making this decision. Sochi is not really a winter-wonderland. It has a sub-tropical climate with palmtrees. Okay, there is a ski-resort 60 Km away but that's all. Everyone knows that Russia and corruption go hand in hand and the IOC have put this event in the hands of these people. You wouldn't do that if you wouldn't benefit from it, one way or another. Not to mention the humar rights issue. I think it's naive to think that the IOC is clean. But that's just me..
