Your say: Should referees' decisions be final?

Italy's Angelo Di Livio expresses a difference of opinion with referee Byron Moreno

(CNN) -- With FIFA admitting World Cup referees have made mistakes, is it time their decisions were reviewed, or should players put up and shut up? CNN's Richard Quest asked for your opinion. You can have your say by mailing quest@cnn.com.

Yes, referees' decisions must be final. No, there is no need to bring technology in football. By doing such we are missing the human participation. Referees are human beings and human mistakes are a part of the game. Staxti, Athens

Let the technology of today be the judge because humans always have...emotions. Ricardo Gaftoi, Romania

The ref has one pair of eyes and the media probably no less than 30 in the way of cameras at any game, cameras which can instantly send the scene of the "foul" to the millions of waiting "judges" in a moment. Solution: Camera calls in refereeing. Mike Kealy, Tokyo

The referees' decision should be final because otherwise the pace of the game will slow down to pedestrian pace and it will be like snails playing football. Nouman, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia

FIFA should review all decisions taken by referees during major soccer tournaments including the World Cup and the Olympics. This is especially required where African teams are involved, as they have generally been at a receiving end. Sobhuza Dlamini, South Africa

There should be at least another referee working with replay scenes during the matches, to aid taking the right decision on doubtful plays, after stopping the game for a few minutes. Stefano Naranjo, Brazil

FIFA should allow replays but only in the following situations: When goal should be allowed or not and when a player is to be sent off. Ken Ogwang

FIFA will have to accept either to increase the number of the field referees or to use technology for any controversial or doubtful moment. Ekim, Nigeria

FIFA should institute what is done for cricket and have camera referees assist field referees when they are in doubt. Perhaps that would eliminate corruption, dirty fouls and really clean up football. Andrea, Germany

Video replays are used in the NRL (National Rugby League) here in Australia. The video referee is there to make sure the try was scored fairly. I can't imagine rugby league without it now. Bob Wood, Sydney

Referees are parts of our lives. Therefore, nothing must be changed. I love them even if they do make mistakes. Okkun, Japan

Should video replay be retrospectively instituted, would Argentina have to return its tainted 1986 Cup? George, Munich

If refereeing is so questionable, then perhaps FIFA should do what other sports have done: allow the calls to be reviewed on instant replay. The stoppages for such reviews might lengthen the game but perhaps would go some distance to eliminate a public perception that there is bias. David Sharp, Australia

If the referee's decision can be revisited, Cameroon should be declared a winner with Germany knocked out. Ray

FIFA should try instant replays, but not dive in headstrong. Study the history of instant replay in American football and their struggles with it. Understand how it affects the tempo of the game. Then implement carefully. Dan Storms
