Depending on the sport, the referee\'s decisions may be more or less essential, and they can be assisted by other referees or new technologies such as the video tape. This kind of assistance for the referees is supposed to put an end to rough mistakes like the one made by an English referee during the FIFA World Cup in 2006 who didn\'t realize he excluded a player after giving him three yellow cards (instead of two) just because of a confusion in players names.

In rugby the referee can use the video tape in order to take a tough decision, and he also may be assisted by the referees along the throw in line. In soccer, assistants also exist, there are three per match, but soccer\'s referees are not allowed to use video tape. Soccer is the sport where referee\'s decisions are mostly put into question again, due to strong economic and sportive stakes.

The referee, in case of litigious decision, may be put under pressure, receive verbal abuses, or even be physically mugged. Pressure felled by referees can sometimes be so strong that some referees use original methods to get over it. It is the case of a referee from Byelorussia who came on the FC Naftan\'s field ( Byelorussian 1st league) completely drunk, unable to walk properly, and so unable to operate, on 07-12-08. While leaving the field, he was highly acclaimed by the public.
