Guest Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 Wouldn't it be nice if a referee was given the opportunity of not only sending a player off but actually awarding a goal as well. If not then the blatant cheating and not for the first time by Uruguay could reward the guy for a place in the final. Yes Ghana should have converted the penalty but that is not the point. It should matter not a jot if it is in the first or the last minute - allow the referee to award a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Eddy Posted July 2, 2010 Report Share Posted July 2, 2010 earlier in the tournament didn't fifa have the descretion of increasing the ban. should be increased to two games for blatent cheating, so he is personnally penalised if they do win the semi final. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Chown Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 We cant even get a referee to award a goal that went over the line! Let alone award one for denying a goal due to hand ball (not a law of the game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dean Cardew Posted July 3, 2010 Report Share Posted July 3, 2010 No way! Part of football. It's a bit like bringing somenoe down when you're last man. He took one for the team. I'd do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianmooreshead Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 Surely this is another instance of where football lags behind other sports. In rugby the referee has had the option to award a penalty try for some years. It's the same with video playback,goal line technology etc etc I'd hate to see football become as start / stop as say basketball or American Football but some of the things that have happened in this World Cup have shown that football is long overdue some drastic rule changes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
