In February of this year, Georgia were leading 1-0 at Croke Park when Ireland were awarded the most ridiculous of penalties. They scored and went on to win 2-1. Without that glaring error from the referee they may not have even been in the play offs. Did the FAI complain about being given a very dubious penalty? Of course not. Perhaps the Ireland v Georgia game should now be replayed.

Football would be in danger of becoming too sanitised if, even key decisions were scrutinsed all the time. It is about opinions and controversy. That is what keeps us talking about this wonderful game. It is about the spontaneity of the joy of seeing your team scoring a goal. It just would not be the same if you had to wait even 30 seconds for an additional ruling, even if it happens to correct a wrong. How many times have key incidents been analysed on tv by pundits over and over again yet they still cannot agree. Leave it to the referee.
