  1. Beckham would be a waste of a squad place

    Who'd want a world class passer, crosser, set piece specialist in their squad hey. Not to mention a superstar of the game who has shown recently that just entering the pitch raised the fans and subsequently the team where a superb 30 minute period led to him being man of the match.

    Waste of a space......?

    Some people don't like Beckham because of his lifestyle which I understand. But as a footballer, he is still immense.

  2. It could never work and would ruin the game. For the incident last night, the game had stopped so it 'could' have been used but for the other 99% of incidents I'm guessing it wouldn't.

    For example a shot that the attacking team thought had crossed the line but is still in play, the game would have to be stopped to check or if it needed to be checked in a natural break teams would start hoofing the ball out of play to see the replay. If the game was stopped how is it re-started and from where? The same for penalty appeals.

    I think any idea that includes the words 'like they do in ' is a bad idea, the beauty of football is that it flows. referrals, stoppages, teams kicking the ball out to see replays etc will all kill the game.

    If the powers that be want to clamp down on cheating then they need to punish the cheats retrospectively and firmly. This is the only way.
