I'd love to see Graeme Souness on the pitchside judging panel at Old Trafford.
Should football have a panel of judges?
- Thread starter horsechoker
- Start date
I can't decide if the judges should have cattle prods to discourage time-wasters and those constantly offside, or the judges should be prodded, perhaps rectally, with the crowd pressing buttons if they disagree with them.
And the TV pundits, they should definitely be impaled on extra large cattle prods linked to the audience remote controls.

Wouldn't it be better if the two teams were made to compete Hunger games style in a forest rather than play football?
All 22 players would be dropped at random locations throughout the forest. They must then try to find other team members, while also trying to survive from the opposition team. The team with the last standing player(s) wins. The advantage to this is that there can be no draws.

What if the last two killed each other simultaneously then? Come on, put some thought into it.
Just have their closest family members compete to the death in their stead. Parents, spouse, children until there is no tie. That's where the term sudden death comes from.
If after the entire family tree has been killed there is still no clear winner then the prize carries over to next year.
Well Corporal Jones defeated the Sudanese single-handedly with nothing more than a bayonet, so I don't think we need to take them too seriously.
I'm more in favour of some non-lethal form of confrontation, painful yes, but non-lethal, so cattle-prods could still come into it in my view.

Last one to hit the ground wins. If they hit the ground at the same time, we can use this panel of experts as suggested by the OP.
It would be interesting if it only applied to ties.
It’s not even the international break yet ffs.
Eliminate like a red card? Or has to be substituted?
Simon Cowell is going to register this idea.
Or would it be better to have football fans serve as judges? I reckon judges don't give a shit about ordinary people and victims, they just want to make things as long and complicated as possible so all the law people make money out of it. Football fans would be much better, 'guilty' 'guilty' 'guilty', send the feckers down.
I think this is a great idea, how about they introduce features on the pitch like fences with water jumps similar to the grand national
Less like boxing and x factor which is as real as wrestling and the easter bunny and more like real things like robot wars and santa claus.
Football will only be on BBC at 6:30 on a friday evening, just before top of the pops.
Players have to try and dismantle each other while Craig Charles and Jonathon Pearce co-commentate.
Pits that are triggered by buttons with each manager that open up on the pitch to capture players.
And in the corners, dirty bastards who attack anyone that comes near them with 2 footed lunges above the knee, that'll stop them trying to run down the clock. We could arm them with hammers and chainsaws and angles grinders.
At the end the winner gets to open a present under the tree in the centre circle that's been delivered by a fat guy in a red suit.

This could have been the Super League but you supposed fans didn't want it.
Women judges only. Forget this offside bullshit.
Or perhaps something like Eurovision. Most calls win.

England never winning anything ever again.
Yea, adding one of the most intelligent, sensible poster on here would help that panel alot. Good recommendation to balance things out.
My misogynist and sexist self wants cheerleaders like in IPL.
they are not going to either ways.
I’m not in favour of judges per se as in boxing a knockout punch supersedes anything that the judges score card says. In foootball a goal is the knockout punch and makes the rest of the game redundant.
However, in games that are draws a judging panel could decide which team deserved the win- it might stop teams parking the bus and is fairer on teams like United that have no idea how to break down such teams! Maybe xg could be the experts? I’m picturing the referee holding the winning captain’s arm aloft in the centre circle- would be good fun

It's coming home
Red card would be harsh as they’d face suspension, would just have to leave the pitch early without any replacements.
After Liverpool were ROBBED yesterday, is it time this idea was put in place?
How can we live in a world where a team that had 4 shots won a game by a single goal?

They should just decide games on xG and be done with goals full stop
instead of VAR what about a man ina Dusty old judge’s wig who simply does the gladiatorial thumbs up or down for every decision.
To spice it up teams are allowed, nay encouraged, to try and curry favour with him within the 90mins so he’ll be sat in his executive box which is on top of the spider cam, drinking fine wines, eating prawn sandwiches and surrounded by lavish entertainment.
