the tmo would have quickly solved the dispute but i wonder if the ref is allowed to use him for this case? (al la forward passes)
more questions, should the replay be shown to the stadium? imagine if this was a tight game in a vital match.
i am against any further influence (and flatulence) caused by replays (tmo or otherwise) or we might end up with things like a micro-chip in the ball that senses any forward movement and "pings" loudly like wimbledon.
what about combining the ball chip with boot sensors that detect offside players.
offending players would be immediately 'frozen' by a small but effective electric shock that disabled movement for 30 secs.
or 'smart' boots that would automatically march the offside player backwards 10 metres.
the smart boots, after 3 offences, would automatically march the offending player to the sin-bin for 10 minutes.
any backchat to the boots would be met by large shocks applied to alternate soles, resulting in the player 'dancing' to the sin-bin.
