When referee cannot see whole ball crossed the line?

As a referee, I'd have to say that is totally unacceptable. A referee must make a decision on what he sees. He can make a decision based on what his assistants or the fourth official sees, but NEVER a player.

Imagine this situation: a player comes up to you (the referee) and admits that he struck a player. None of the match officials see the incident. Would you send the player off for that?

If you do, suppose the player says that he was just making a joke. Too risky to start using the word of a player. Few goalkeepers would be honest, and even if they were...suppose other teammates disagree; the goalkeeper doesn't always have the best view.

I am pretty sure that cannot happen. The main referee can consult with the side-line referees but not with players from either team.

I highly doubt the goalkeeper will be completely honest as it is his net it possibly went in..... This is a common problem however and needs a solution as important games cannot be decided by "I thinks" and "Maybes" there is too much at stake...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
