Hanging Judge: dr_errol laments the fact that South African referee's barely have the technology they need to make the right decisions
Why do we do it? I don’t have the answer. It’s just that it’s like a drug and we need our “game” fix at least once a week.
The ref saw nothing wrong and allowed play to continue. Leeds went on and scored, and all hell broke loose. Somewhere in between it was secretly agreed that Aston Villa, as the aggrieved party, would be allowed to go and score uncontested. And so the game ended 1-1 .The ball was blasted in, hit the underside of the crossbar, and then bounced down and over the line and out again.
Even with the now famous or infamous video assistant referee system, the referee on the field still has the final say.What I did notice in the South African game was that the referee and his assistants also did not have earpieces. Not that that would have made any difference, because they also don’t have goal-line technology, the watch-like instrument worn on the right hand to indicate if the ball has crossed the line or not.
