The fact that referees have to rely on technology to get them out of a spot of trouble just shows you that referees are not reliable, though you can say the same about technology so on that basis officiating is a complete joke and all that the training they have done at the start of their careers hasn’t payed off.

All in all it has made football become an embarrassment and something needs to be done in that department to make sure the officiating is done more professionally and respected.
