Yes - with the present technology a sideline referee culd easily provide ultrafast info to the central referee, while he is dealing with players complaints.

Scotsport makes my eyes bleed.\n\nMOTD is how to do a fooball highlights show. Show the match, bit of decent analysis then move on. \n\nNo need for 3 presenters, the two seperate stages or the fans opinion, I can listen to why fat Jimmy thinks the Celtic defense is a shambles down the pub, I dont want to have to watch it on TV.\n\nThe camp guy (Julien I think) is annoying and adds nothing to the show (altough I like him on XFM), the woman is annoying and adds nothing to the show. \nI dont mind the main presenter, Jim Dealahunt (SP), I think his name is. He at least seems able to conduct a flowing football conversation, the other two seem to be reading cue cards writen up for them before the show.\n\nThe guests they have on aren't to bad, Graham Spears is always enjoyable, as is the guy who used to do commentating, Gerry something. Little Andy can be a bit of a tool but I think thats deliberate. \nI would do away with the random footballers/managers coming on though, while some are naturally suited to television, Gordon Strachen for example, many of them struggle to put 5 words together. This does not make for intresting television.\n\nI rarely tune into Scotsport, its that dire to watch.\nQuite how you can turn a football highlights show into something fairley unwatchable is beyond me.

This is a extract from a rugby league (yes and i know its not football) site\n\n1969 Warrington call a meeting to discuss the transmission of live games on the BBC a number of clubs including Wigan object to the idea, fearing gates will drop.January 5th First ever game to be played on a Sunday v Blackpool away,as it was not permitted to charge for entry on a Sunday clubs got round the restriction by selling team sheets which strangely enough were the same price as the entrance charge to the game,these were shown at the turnstile and you were admitted well sort of free?.

Yes, actually already there are  cards for refrees, i can send you two matches that the refree was given yellow card and also red card , the issue is that he was not meant to be given by any outsider since his the judge, but sometime if the refree is really concern about his deed ,he hand over the card to any of the players of his choice mostly the captain of one of the team that he likely offend, and he will be given a card , if his given a yellow the game can continue with him, but if his red card he need to just leave the game and one of the last man will continue as a refree, attached is the game like that or i Will send you the particular script of the games with the referee out, just send me your e-mail address,

The Spanish channel Telefutura replays matches, in the evening, check your listings. If you don't mind the Spanish. check your listings. I believe they will do this for the rest of the cup. DL, I don't know.

Very interesting observation there "Vicky p". I am sure they mean the viewing. In other words, they look at the number of times a person switches to the soccer channel. They don't count the changes in between.\n\nFor example, when the is half-time, you might want to check what is playing on the other side ~ and you switch back again for the 2nd half. They don't consider that it is the same person playing with t.v. channels.\n\nAlso, if you watch the next match again tomorrow, they count you again ~ since its cummulative. So, they mean the total number of people that watch each of the games and add the totals together.

No, you can only see play-by-play. I think if you wanted to see video, you would have to subscribe.

NFL.com would proably help some. Watching is proably the best help though. Refs are actually doing a decent job now of explaining penalties, if there is anything to explain. As long as you try to wait until after the play is done your man should be happy to try to help you understand what happened. The problem with trying to explain during the play is that things are devolping so hard to explain it all as it happens. Easier to explain if there is a replay so that you know what is going to happen. Would almost be best to kinda get a tape of a game and have him explain it as it goes along. That way there is no importance to the game itself, not live so not really interrupting it.

You knucklehead! Yes I do watch.  Sometimes I don't know all that's going on in sports,so I watch to see what's up. I like them both.

I did, on TV.  Both teams played good soccor and it was a pretty clean game. I just enjoyed the game, without having to cheer for a favorite team.

You are dealing with part time officials who get very poor training and the pressure goes up in the playoffs causing them to blunder in a larger scale.\n\nSimply put, they likely make the same errors in the regular season, but the plays don't matter as much and their not under as much of a microscope.\n\nIs a ref favouring one team over another, for any reason...I doubt it.  Sometimes they get their back up when a player accuses them of such and the player's b!tching causes the ref to call against them...vicious circle, IMO, specifically in the case of the Argos.

We keep up by memorizing the opposing players' numbers, reading the backs of their jerseys, and knowing our home team players by sight, name and personalities...It also helps to know how the game is played so that we can anticipate the plays and penalties.  Watching the puck is a great way to deal with the problem in the minors.  However, in the NHL, (network level) there are people spotting the game and handing the announcers notes all the time...It's just a matter of doing it enough times to get it down and be proficient at it...;)  Oh, and if you ever heard the bloopers we come up with...LOL...
