Spaniards should really just be banned from all sports. They are awful drug cheats.

Consistency in officiating is much more important than accuracy anyways, which is why I sometimes think the mission to get every single call right is a bit misplaced sometimes.

Probably a good way to handle diving in soccer would be to add another ref or two.

This has been tried and rejected by players and coaches several times. The main issue being that most referee calls are judgement calls, and adding referees to the game will inevitably make those calls much more inconsistent. Imagine if you rotated out whoever calls balls and strikes every three innings.

I've thought this since the ITV days, but there either needs to be a dedicated world feed commentary for F1 that doesn't take sides, or the Sky guys need to realize that they're the de facto english-language world feed, and therefore should at least try to be impartial.
