In football nowadays you cannot have one match without a controversial refereeing decision. Not one. For example, Arsenal lost to Newcastle today. Koscielny was sent off at the end of the game for a "last man" tackle. In fact, he wasn't technically. Another Arsenal player was slightly further forward than him and would have most likely caught up with the player who was fouled. I can give you tons more examples but something has to happen.
I honestly think that football should copy rugby: you have a 5th referee in the stands with a laptop, reviewing all the action. If he then disagrees with the ref, all he has to do is call him on the intercom and get him to change the decision, Really whoever you are, be it FIFA or UEFA, it's not that hard.
Nothing can really be perfect, but I really just want to be able to watch one footy game without any sort of controversy. It seems to have been getting worse over the past few months/years as well, so maybe it's up to us to stop putting so much pressure on referees. But then again, if they do make giant cock ups, what do they expect?
