[QUOTE="William18, post: 688049, member: 38439"] You are correct that in most cases where video replays have been used the decision has been correctly made. The Messam case is a prime example. The referee got the call right and upon seeing it on the big screen could hardly not turn around and give a penalty for it. However, the problem is that Liam Messam would not have been penalised at Eden Park. Bismarck would also not have been red carded at Ellis Park. I feel a challenge system would ensure that the right decision is made more often. This way challenges would only be used when teams are confident that the referee had made the wrong call (although there may be some hopeful challenges towards the end of the game). I think that a referee should just be allowed to get on, referee the game and call everything as they see it. I feel the current system causes the referees to doubt what they see with their own two eyes. [/QUOTE]
