As another suggestion, at semi-finals, finals and so on, could an independent official be appointed at the ground to work with the referee, whereby if an incident happens, it will not be just the referee who will deal with it? Currently, almost everything is based on the referee's report. If there were someone independent who could see what was going on, he or she could report on the incident as well.
