Extra Officials

[PatHead]

Did I read somewhere they are having extra officials behind the goals this week?

Yeah, was announced when the officials were I think

Assuming these guys have never "played in that position" doesn't strike me as the time to introduce them. They will never have worked as a team like that before. Surely they should have trialled them in next years league cup or at a less important match. We have enough problems with the 3 on the go without inviting another 2 to screw things for us.

Think one of them's the boy that gave the penalty to united for the foul 2 yards outside the box.

He's there to ensure it's evened up.

you may have read that they will be behind the goals(bbc ?) but I'm pretty certain that they will be in line with the goals.the reason for this is to stop "cants" from not giving a goal, to say, Leigh Griffiths when in actual fact, it is a goal.

The extra officials have been in used in this system in the Champions League this season when Collum has been reffing.
