Message: [QUOTE="Anonymous person, post: 2477466, member: 2115"] thats what im saying - the ONLY difference between 2012 and 2013 is, in reality, the removal of benefit of the doubt. unless benefit of the doubt would have come into it, what the referee initially states as his decision doesnt really matter. he may as well just say "i dont know, you figure it out" because if he says try and hes wrong the video ref will change it. if he says no try and hes wrong the video ref will change it. the only time it makes a difference is when the video ref would have used benefit of the doubt. 2012: - referee: "dont know, check it out" - video referee: "hmm cant be 100% sure, benefit of the doubt" - referee: "try" 2013: - referee: "no try, check it out" - video referee: "hmm cant be 100% sure, so use referees original ruling. no try" - referee: "no try" thats the difference between 2012 and 2013. the only difference really. in most cases the video referee DOES have a better view of it, what with there being a bazillion cameras all watching the action. if a referee is obscured from the view then he cant know what happened for sure. 1 look from a different angle for the video referee can give him a 100000% better view.
