These incidents prove we need two refs

OUT OF LINE ... ref's assistant gets it wrong by ruling Adebayor offside

The ball switches wings in the blink of an eye and I defy anyone with two legs to keep up with Gareth Bale when he gets the ball down at his feet and embarks on one of his 70-yard runs.

Managers, TV pundits and viewers at home can all see instant replays of incidents four or five times from four or five angles within a minute now and that makes it even more difficult for officials to get everything correct.

In Europe, we have had extra refs on the touchline and that has helped.

But two on the pitch could be something worth experimenting with.

We have lots of top-class referees so it could only make their job easier if they got some help on the pitch.

Key decisions are being made in big games and there is so much more pressure involved nowadays.

Virtually every match is on the telly and I think we must look at every angle of making sure we get it right.
