    Do two wrongs make a right?

    If in one of our games a ref gives the other team a dubious decision, e.g blatant offside goal, penalty, sending off, and then realises his mistake, should he unofficially recompense with some sort of evener for us? This question came up again in last night's Barca - City game and the commentator answered his own question by saying no.

    Would be far better if he took more time to make the right decision in the first place. Doesn't have to be made in one second.

      How about a video referee like they use in rugby?

      Personally I would only like it used for two occasions- to see if the balls over the line and for diving (I absolutely hate it when a player dives. They should be given a straight red card as its blatant cheating).

          I'm in favour of a challenge decision where each team can challenge a ref's decision by video. There's too much at stake these days to leave things to the mistakes of refs and linos.
          Supporting QPR isn't just about a football team. It's about roots and identity.

            You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

              I think the problem is, once you start on the slippery slope of allowing reviews of one aspect of the game, what is the argument against the others? It could end up an absolute nightmare. Having said that, I see no reason why the fourth official cannot be watching and rewinding incidents where there is doubt and act accordingly. It would be nice if all aspects of cheating were dealt with harshly such as a minimum of a yellow card, but even a red. So irritating when a bloke kicks the ball out and immediately puts his arm up, claiming a throw in.

              Sorry Greengrass, I strayed a bit. In answer to your question, No. Never.

                HA ha. It's part of the same argument

                Bringing the game into disrepute if they wanted to act on it
