So what are the arguments against video refereeing?

[Jazzz]

You're wrong about the circumstances anyway, but what's funny is that you're arguing to replace something you're effectively saying works well.

No I'm not - how on earth is a linesman as good as a video replay?

And sorry, but perspective might be called for - but that's not the point. One quick throw in not being taked affects the result of a match and I don't like it. I like that they can do that. You notice the frustration on players' faces (and the reaction of the fans) when the ref calls play back - we all hate it - why do you want more of that?

Nonsense, any attacking team would, without hesitation, exchange the right to a quick-throw in for the chance to see if their shot actually crossed the line. It certainly affects the result of a match if good goals are not allowed. Far more than throw-ins. Do you see managers, after the game, bemoaning their disallowed quick throw-ins?

And you are a very slippery debater if I may say.
