    What do that actually do?

    Did anyone see that Italian corner the ball went out of play less than a foot away from him and he still looked at the linesman who's view was blocked to see what his decision was.

    I had only seen bits so I wasn't aware who the officials where.


    But seriously what do they do?

    I think the point is that they tell the referee their view but without using their arms to signal their decisions unlike the ref and the linesmen. Don't think they make much difference though personally.

    Absolutely nothing. Complete waste of time.
