    A repeated thread mate, until FIFA and the FA agree, its a pointless thread, and although we all agree, something must be put in place, the powers that be will just **** us off.

    The phrase "delibrately seeks to gain an unfair advantage" does not exist in the FIFA vocabulary. Rules dumbed down for the emerging nations from Arabia and Africa so they could officiate at world cup matches. Downhill from there cuased by players mainly.

    We all agree that something should be put in place mate but, we could have every football fan in the country sign and they'll still do jack about it as for the main it benefits the top teams. The technology is out there and, it would be easy to implement just a shame that the corrupt bastards at FIFA/UEFA/FA will not do anything.

    Think that's just the next round of testing mate which the muppets will fail, apparently they will make a decision on what to use and how to use it in July this year. Got a feeling it'll be delayed though until the next World Cup so another few years of terrible decisions that are totally avoidable.

    Goal line technology = Yes
    Video appeal = No.

    Refs have been about since football began, all these camera angles havent.
    Why not have a deterrent. Diving, whether 1st or last minute. Send the b*stards off & ban them for 10 games. This then costs the club money in wages.
    Blatant/Cynical fouls, As above
    Anything missed by the refs can be reviewed by an independent panel with the same heavy penalties for offenders.
    Memo to refs, the top 4 do not need any help so please stop giving them every bloody decision you can.
    But please do not let football end up stop/start like american football.
