[QUOTE="TRF_heineken, post: 688053, member: 40658"] Well the challenge system was used as an experiment a few years ago during the Varsity Cup in South Africa. They used white cards, when captains wanted to challenge a decision or report foul play. Each captain got 2 challenges, and if he was correct, the challenge remained available. Much like the DRS system in cricket. But the fact of the matter is that there could still be manipulation from the producer. How often do we hear the TMO saying "that is the only angle available"?? While we all know there are so many cameras at the stadium all focused on the area where the ball is. That is why I say rather focus on the production team and find ways to use the technology available to make the right calls. The challenge system might become a problem for the referees as a blatant way of undermining his calls. It would discourage referees even more, and at this stage where they are in the limelight just as much as the players, encouragement and discipline is of vital importance... [/QUOTE]
