1984 Style Football
Not in the Liverpool still being capable of winning the league sense but in the Orwellian sense. Obviously big brother is already watching them with the advent of TV cameras and replays etc. but I mean in a more fascistic control sense. What’s the worse that can happen to a footballer if he does something bad on the pitch really? Yellow Card, Sent off and maybe if he’s been really bad a fine and a ban for however long they think right. What if there was a better way to ensure players behavior and to discipline them. I suggest we fit footballers with electronic chips that would charge the player with a shock to the central nervous system when the chip was activated. The technology would have to be closely guarded and power given to only the managers and referee, otherwise people would be shocking players for the sake of it. Nobody wants that. So when a player begins to remonstrate too strongly at a referee, he can press a button and down the player will go screaming in pain, sorry that he even questioned the referees’ authority. It is hoped that over time footballers would learn to behave better and the use of the device could be lessened, though it remains to be seen as footballers traditionally do not have the best of educations.
