The man regularly hailed as the game’s best referee until his retirement six year’s ago, said: “I think the goal-line can be easily controlled by two additional assistant referees.
 “We had big mistakes last year, not because the assistant referee didn’t help the referee. He gave the correct advice, but simply the referee thought he was right.”
