Thinking up of my next genius thread
It is obvious that refs are too unfit/too slow to referee the fast pace of today's game, the only solution would be for them to follow the game with a drone (They could give out red / yellow cards from a screen on it and if the whistle needs to be blown then it can play a loud whistle noise).

I think it’s important to have a referee on the field.
Give him a Segway. You could mount the VAR screen on it too. The ref could give red and yellow cards from semaphores on the side of the Segway, and the horn could be replaced with a whistle noise.

Great idea but here's another:

A ref should sit in different quadrant of the pitch and their name changed to 'the adjudicator'.

Each adjudicator looks over his section of the pitch, governing it like a ruler of some fief in ancient warring times.

If a player commits a foul, the ref presses a big button which sounds THE KLAXON.

A deafening roar is let out to instruct the players of the infringement, preferably in deep heavy bass. The lights dimmed also for atmosphere.

This would allow the referees adjudicators to judge the match fairly, and for one and all to enjoy this beautiful sport once more.

There should be twenty linesman either side of the field. Then in the event of a decision (throw-in, goal-kick, foul, offside, etc) all 20 from that side of the field should convene in a cabal and determine the consensus opinion with a foreman selected from that group announcing that decision.

If a consensus cannot be reached by those 20 officials then the match must be ruled a mis-match and postponed until a later date.

Ref presses a button and the player falls into an abyss below the ground and gets rightfully punished for his brutality.
