Umpires handshake and Instant replay

Phillbuck · Posted: Fri Mar 07, 2003 7:45 pm

perhaps this has been discussed before but----Does any one think its time for instant replays on game turning calls especially after the umpires insisted on "hand shakes" before the game?

And of course they finally admitted they are human and make mistakes!!!!!! This would give the officials a chance to correct a bad call.

If the challenging team looses the review call they would be penalized one point (maybe even 6 pts)and loss of ball.

Is it time??????

No. Camera angles can distort the view of things it may make things worse!
Unfortunately, Umpire errors are here to stay.

If you bleed black and white you'll never walk alone.

I have to agree with Stik35 here!

I'm not sure bringing in cameras would be good for the game.

However, I would agree to it for pre season games, even for a trial to see its worthiness.

replays would slow the game down too much.....allow for errors and just get on with it.....uncertainty's is what makes this game great.....
