[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 688028, member: 20605"] IMO, the big screen replay and crowd reaction thing is getting completely out of hand. "'Home" TV producers are being allowed far too much latitude to show whatever they want, repeating perceived infringements by the visiting team over and over and over, but, in many cases, not showing infringements by the home team at all. I am sure this is with the intention to pressurise match officials. There are a number of things as relates to the TMO and use of technology which I believe ought to be implemented before the RWC, otherwise it could become a farce. ► 1. TMO try-no try reviews are not shown on in-stadium screens until after the referee's/TMO decision is made. This would necessarily mean that the referee does not see the big screen replay (an issue dealt with in Bullet Point 4) ► 2. Replays of foul play are not allowed to be shown straight away on in-stadium screens. If not dealt with by the TMO, they are not to be shown at all. If they are dealt with by a TMO Foul Play review, they can be shown after the decision had been made. ► 3. The TMO and both AR's may bring any foul play, or anything relating to a score to the attention of the referee. The review is not to be shown on in-stadium screens until after a decision is made. ► 4. No more back and forth discussions between the TMO and the referee. When the referee asks for a TMO review, he says what he thinks he saw, then he hands the decision making responsibility to the TMO, [U]it is now the TMO who now makes the decision[/U]. The TMO has the final say. ► 5. Place a hard time limit for the TMO review.. say 60 seconds from the time the referee calls for a review. If the TMO cannot decide after seeing the same replay three times, then its inconclusive and the referee's original decision stands. Point 4 works well in NRL. The referee makes an on-field decision; and then says [I]"we have a try"[/I] (signalled by making a "T" with his fist and forearm) or [I]"we have no-try" [/I](signalled by crossing his forearms in front of his chest). He also says what he wants checked, e.g. [I]"check the grounding and possible obstruction at the second to last pass"[/I]. The Video Ref can only overturn the referee's decision if he sees clear evidence that the on-field decision is wrong. If it is inconclusive, the on field decisions stands. Also, the Video Ref's decision is final; once he is called to make a decision, it is his decision alone. Point 5 is right out of NFL [/QUOTE]
