>Both teams are subject to the decision making of the same referee and his/her mistakes are part of the game. Referees become known for the quality of their decision making. In fact I would go the other way. I think FIFA have become to prescriptive in their rules for referees and the referees ability to make decision based on the game as a whole have been reduced.

But you've missed my point.Yes that technology is there. Yes we could have detailed video examination of every decision. Yes it could be an exact science. But is that what we want from a game. Not for me . The grey areas, the uncertainty, the unfairness are all part of what makes it exciting, infuriating and a great human spectacle.
