Given all the controversies that have arisen about new rules and their interpretation by the referees and VAR in the women's world cup, has the time come for the fan-assisted referee system? It is being tried out in the Isles of Scilly league which is now being sponsored by Vodafone: 5G rollout
5G’s unique characteristics will allow anyone with a compatible smartphone to become a remote assistant referee. Whether they are socialising at the local Scillonian Club, broadcasting live on air with Radio Scilly or on a boat in the harbour, locals who are not pitch-side can review disputed penalties, goals or red cards and deliver their verdict instantly back to the match official.
Don't forget that you can hear my weekly broadcast on Radio Scilly shortly after 9.30 a.m. on Saturday (although I now have to focus on Truro City and Argyle).
