[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 914065, member: 20605"] Interesting the he is of the same opinion as me as regards the TMO. [INDENT] [I]In Barnes’s view it would also be helpful to have more, rather than less, input from the television match official up in the stand. “I would expand it so we can check whatever we want without necessarily stopping the game. If, in a crucial moment, I can ask: ‘Is that a forward pass?’ and someone can tell me the answer in three seconds we don’t need to stop the game for 30-40 seconds. It’s like a scrum-half constantly talking to his No 10.” If such support had been on tap in 2007, it would certainly have saved him a world of angst.[/I][/INDENT] Expand the role without increasing the interruptions If the referee can take the word of an AR that a pass was forward or a player was offside without having to go to a video review, why can he not also take the word of the TMO, who is more often than not in a better position to see.
