What does the other assistant do? Obviously two linesmen and a fourth official...

Apparantly the other 2 will stand behind the goals...




Europa League - 4 assistant referees per match

Uefa is to experiment during the group stages with having five referees per match in an attempt to combat players' diving to win penalties and to help resolve other issues.

Two extra officials will stand next to each goal, behind the dead-ball line, to spot infringements and Uefa hopes the move will mean less foul play and simulation by players.

The move is also designed to help determine whether the ball has crossed the goal-line when there is doubt.

Uefa president Michel Platini said: "One day players will give up simulating because referees will see them.

"For years players have cheated because the referees were not of a good enough quality.

"I am convinced, with the extra officials, that if you have referees close by it will prevent players from simulating and they will take the right decision. t does the other assistant do? Obviously two linesmen and a fourth official...

The other 2 a goal line assistants, I would hazard a guess that their job would be to say if the ball crosses the line.
Glory glory

At a time when the game and the world are struggling to get by, this is kicked in! There will obviously be a deluge of applicants who will see the easy money to be had, dont even have to run about like a ref, who are right up for this "appointment". Personally I would rather have seen the money spent on video technology, rather than a further bunch of slackers who are scared of a real job getting by on money better spent elsewhere.
