Re: This year we need instant replay

OK, I get sucked into another one. Again I will say, it takes more than 1 camera to make a difference. Take the NHL for example. There are usually 3 cameras trained on 1 goal. Even after looking at slow motion they still can't tell the difference. 3 cameras per goal and you believe that you could see a whole field from 1 camera placed above the field? I will also challenge the bad call argument. The ref would only go to replay if they were not sure AND the play results in a goal/non-goal. The argument that you are really making is missed calls. I believe that last year there were between 8 and 10 refs per match. That is a lot more eyes than 1 camera. I have seen calls go both ways. I have watched a play, consulted with the ref after and we both had different views of what happened. We were standing next to each other.

If you want to make the game better then get the designers, builders, drivers and human players to stop making mistakes and design perfect robots, use perfect strategy and perfect control. If this was done then we can start questioning the refs and the system for minor, questionable points of view.
