Beyond that you can have a 10 second throw-in or goal kick count down-in basketball the ref simply stands on the sideline and counts 5 seconds with a hand gesture, after which the other team gets possession if the ball isn't inbounds by then. You could actually enforce the 6 second holding rule for keepers, make them bounce the ball at least. Is there any reason to allow injury time substitutions? Why? I'd even be for no subs after 80 minutes-subs as time wasting does my head in. Once again sporting authorities are looking at extremely complicated rules changes when simpler ones would solve the problem just fine. (Association) football is great because a regular season game is over in 2 hours, no matter what, and you can get on with your day. Basketball is usually better but clock finagling late in a very tight game means that 3 minutes of "game time" can take 20 minutes. An NFL game can now easily stretch to 4 hours without much trouble. They mention American football, where games used to be finished in about 2.5 hours. By having a centralised refereeing ****ing diploma taught by UEFA then stuff like that would be covered.įootball is a multibillion pound industry and its insane how poorly qualified the most important person on the field is.

From some of the reactions in Italy for example, its clear the refs don't know what action they should take. Things like identifying what is and isn't a dive, taking a zero tolerance approach to time wasting, then there are really important non-football related issues like racism on the field, and how it needs to be dealt with. No team should be going into a game concerned about the ref, the rules should be enforced consistently without fear or favour and its crystal clear that because there are piss weak standards and so much is left up to the individual associations then its no wonder we're in the mess we are. By centralising the training of officials, FIFA/UEFA can ensure everyone going out has been trained to the same level and has passed the same tests about the interpretation of the game. There is 100% enough money in the game to do this, if we can afford to pay Gareth Bale £500k p/w we can afford to take steps to universally improve refereeing standards.įor example, I remember hearing years ago that Willie Collum referred to Hearts as a big physical team when doing some sort of training, how the **** can we expect any sort of quality when bias is being imbedded almost immediately.

Refs generally speaking are awful, so how about if they really want to make sweeping changes, create a centralised refereeing 'university' with graduates going on to become FULL TIME PROFESSIONAL referees. Its mad isn't it? FIFA determined to keep tinkering with the rules. Maybe the fourth official needs to have the power to overrule the ref sometimes and add the appropriate time? Personally, I just want the game tampered with as little as possible and agree with you that maybe refs need to be more competent and trained more stringently in dealing with stoppages?
