Now the referees will not be afraid of throwing out the yellow card or red card

I think it's going to be difficult to find someone who wants this thankless task for $500 and about a week of work. It might be a nice gesture to our current volunteers, though.

You're blithely stating here that you can fit the entirety of borderline and questionable calls into a 10 minute video. I find it difficult to believe you could fit enough material onto even a 2 hour DVD. At least, that's assuming you want calls based entirely on the situations from the video. Otherwise you're still depending on human judgement. Honestly, we're going to keep arguing about reffing until the GDC designs a game where we build robot refs, or everyone accepts the fact that people are human and there are far more people in the audience judging the refs than there are refs to watch the field.
