I've no problem with the concept, just cannot understand the point of somebody who isn't prepared to even consider the possibility that the ref has made a mistake. In the studio were Warnock and McManaman (both former wingers, fwiw), who believed that the ref had made a mistake. The replays showed that the ref had made a mistake. There was even video footage of the official closest to the incident saying that he was unable to call it. And yet Halsey was so reluctant to come out against Moss that even Warnock was lost for words. By all means have a ref in the commentary box - I like the fact that bt are trying to innovate - but using somebody who has zero credibility (check my posts - I was saying the same during Fulham v. Arsenal, this isn't just because of today) just defeats the object. Which is a shame.
