I see that the SPL is putting pressure on what Gordon Smith has recently said through the media.

This could get interesting

I don't often say this about the pronouncements of those who run Scottish football, but that makes sense.

I can see that the referee's decision must be considered final during the playing of the game - we couldn't really have the referee sending someone off, and the fourth official coming on to say, no, it wasn't a foul, he can stay on. One guy needs to be in control or games could descend into complete anarchy.

But the FA system, where obvious errors are corrected after the game finishes, is a lot better than what we have. And I don't see that the referee's authority has been obviously diminished by the review system they have down south.
