That's true. Im just sick of seeing stupid decisions that could be easily rectified by goal-line technology. The French goal against Ireland in the 2010 world cup qualifier playoff is a prime example of this.


Even if it was given, it still wouldn't be right because one of the Ukranian players was offside when the ball was played to him.

Aye, it's not like Rugby and all the other sports with the technology have crumbled because of whatever reason FIFA is fearing.

Consequently, your idea is stupid, as it attacks the wrong person, the person who is legally disallowed from acting any different from the way they do right now.

Try to learn a little bit about the specific rulesets before engaging in tabloid-esque polemics.

Again, not what I was saying but thanks for putting words in my mouth. People should have recourse. See the difference here? Don't you think fining a team for the actions of the fans is attacking the wrong person too? Its corruption and something needs to be done. Now, since you're obviously not willing to discuss anything in a civil way, goodbye.

The only words I'm putting in your mouth are the ones you've actually said, I'm afraid.

Unless you're simply shit at english and have no idea what 'Accountability' means, in which case I suggest an advanced english class before you start using big words.

Even if it was given, it still wouldn't be right because one of the Ukranian players was offside when the ball was played to him.


And if FIFA introduced technology similar to tennis,rugby etc then the offside player would have been identified.

Still not sure where this "FIFA don't want goal-line technology" argument is coming from. I know UEFA and Platini are bitching about it but didn't FIFA already say they would endorse a system that gave accurate results within 1 second?

Personally, I think thats fair.

Yeah, the trouble isn't with FIFA. That criticism is totally misguided. It's Platini that is holding everything up in Europe.

From what I've seen it didn't touch the ground. They've been playing too much cricket, it has to touch the ground to be a six. And guess what? It can travel through the player... that is to say, the fielder can't be across the line either.

Or, they've been playing too much rugby... same thing goes there.
