You think players and fans will just accept what the extra says just because he is a little closer to the action? No they wont. The players will still crowd around, getting in his face. And they will still be the possiblity of human error. The only undisputable thing is a goal line camera. why are these governing entities so hard-headed? there is only one solution and its goal line camera’s with instant replay. all another ref will do is create more confusion and turmoil.

I think it's a great idea, why not have something that can prevent games being won by non-goals. All of the soccer purists say that it would damage the integrity of the game, but who wants to lose, or even win a game on a terrible goal that should have been disallowed?

Although its not as straight forward as saying your give decisions in the penalty area. It does raise a potential for conflict and confusion on decisions. Interesting Idea.
