I agree that it is part of the game. But for European matches as well as top-division matches and international matches, it is just irresponsible to let such massive amounts of money be dependent on the capabilities of the referee. In my opinion, goals, penalties, red cards and offside should all be automated.
Offside because it is so easy to do with a computer and wrong calls can be extremely frustrating. For example this weekend Jan Vertonghen's (Ajax) winning goal against Twente was cancelled because of offside, just because the assistant referee failed to see a player standing 2 meters in front of him on the back-line..
I am just sick and tired of seeing referees instead of players deciding matches.. Additionally, it would be a benefit to reduce corruption, as referees will have much less power on their own.
Finally, it will probably also massively reduce hatred and violence against referees.
It seems insane how EVERYONE in the world can see on their TV that it was a wrong call apart from the one person who is making the decisions. What the fuck is going on there? That doesn't make any sense to me!
These top-matches usually already have 10-20 cameras fixed on the field, so it would be a tiny effort to introduce such technology.
