And what message would this send out? The Referee's decision is supposed to be final, but still we see players trying to argue, intimidate or browbeat the Ref into changing his ruling (which they must *not* do) and were every slightly controversial decision go to video it would only say that "what the Ref says is unimportant, it's the video camera that's really running the game")
This should not happen.

Thats the point it shouldnt be final. The linesman in my case bailed out cause he got scared of the home fans, what happens if a ref has a soft touch for a club and is leniant to them in the game, who questions him, who audits him, what punishment should he get for bad decisions that can cost clubs thousands or millions.

Concerning it slowing the game down, you could have an ear peice in the ref's ear. Then only use it for controversial goals and penalties and sending off's, the bulk of the game can be left free flowing.
We have moved on from pub games, football is massive now, in a pub game it can be ok some decisions go wrong the consequences arent large but professional football is a completely different story altogether.
