extra refs to stay

[epsomraver]

Uefa has extended the five-official experiment to next season's Champions League and Euro 2012 qualifiers.

The system, using an extra assistant behind each goal, was trialled in last season's Europa League.

The International Football Association Board last week allowed confederations, like Uefa, and national bodies to adopt the system over the next two years.

"It is difficult to find something negative in this experiment," said Uefa general secretary Gianni Infantino.
Perhaps he should try going to the games, how about more cost, total ineffectiveness , ask Brede if they are effective, also Roy and David Moyes, why are they so against new technology!!!!!

Well if anything goes to prove how out of touch these people are then this is it. The one thing that commentators, players, fans could agree on was what a waste of time the extra officials were. There was not one saving grace for having them.

They were quite good at distracting the goalie when they encroached on the area.

That's nonsense! In the Shaktar game, the extra official made sure Schwarz took a goal kick from the right place! It's decisions like that you need to get right, not all this pedantry and sillyness about penalties and who the red cards go to.
