Standards Of Refereeing
EDM number 1216 in 2003-04, proposed by Gerry Steinberg on 18/05/2004.
That this House is appalled that one incompetent referee can deprive a football team of success as happened at the Stadium of Light in the Sunderland versus Crystal Palace Division One play offs; believes that the standard of English refereeing is appalling as seen every week in football grounds and on television where inconsistent and wrong decisions are made by incompetent first class referees; and further calls upon the Football Association to introduce instant playback facilities so that incorrect decisions can be rectified thereby preventing one man running and determining a match based on incorrect decisions with the resulting financial consequences and disappointment of thousands of cheated fans.
This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
