What if someone came in saying to make the hole bigger so that there'd be more birdies and eagles, thus making the game more exciting



There's actually a serious discussion about this in the sport right now. Going to a 15" hole.

The retroactive banning might work, but there are no assurances that it would work.

There would be a lot of taking one for the team, but over the long haul, things would change. IMO.

Go start a random soccer thread on the MSB and see how many posters call you gay, commie, etc.

Of course he would. That's why we come here during world cup time, to try to discuss soccer with soccer fans.

Huh? I expect that crap from the MSB and the OT...

For a sport specific board, nah.


That makes absolutely no sense.

You disparage this board for being elitist but hold it to a different standard?

Go make start a thread saying Drew Brees is no longer a Super Bowl caliber QB or some shite on Saints Talk and see what happens.

And this is bad, how?

Baseball purists were against the review initially. Seems to be working there?

Booth review seems to work well in other sports

No, as that would lead to a stoppage of play and cause all sorts of shite during the game. You couldn't stop the game as then you would have to add the time stopped at the end of the half. FIFA also isn't in favor of anything that stops play. They would rather retroactively award punishment than stop the game.

the entire flow of the game would change

it would almost become unwatchable with the booth stopping and changing calls/reviewing who hit the ball last or corner/goal kicks

The people on the OT who said the goal should be 15 feet wider earlier today.

Or the inevitable LeBron thread.

Sure it does. The mere flow and topics of those boards lend itself to greater amounts of insults and spirited discussion.

Well that's an obvious troll thread, which I wouldn't do here either.

This would work though so they wouldn't need to stop the game. I promise all that diving shite would stop if the players knew how fricked they would be if they did it during the game.

Americans love a chance to watch a replay and discuss said play. Much more so than actually watching it the first time.

Because there are no natural stoppages, ideally, in a game. That time would have to be added at the end of the half if there were a stoppage. Not only that the rules on restarting after a stoppage would get confusing, as FIFA is reluctant to have the ref control the game like this.

I'm sure there could be ways to limit the amount of reviews/stoppages if anything like that were ever to happen



FWIW, I pretty much agree with you, just playing devils advocate
