Always been for it myself - but I know football thrives on arguements and opinions and the technology might stop a lot of this.

What do you think?


Fifa president Sepp Blatter has apologised to the Football Association over Frank Lampard's disallowed goal in England's World Cup defeat by Germany.

He said the debate on goal-line technology would be reopened when the International FA Board meets in July.

Blatter also said sorry to Mexico after Argentina's Carlos Tevez scored from an offside position in their last 16 game.

"It is obvious that after the experiences so far at this World Cup it would be a nonsense not to re-open the file on goal-line technology," said Blatter.

The Tevez goal - the first in Argentina's 3-1 win - was replayed on the screens in the stadium, meaning players and fans could see the officials' mistake.

"Personally I deplore it when you see evident referee mistakes but it's not the end of a competition or the end of football, this can happen," said Blatter.

"The only thing I can do is yesterday I have spoken to the two federations (England and Mexico) directly concerned by referees mistakes.

"I have expressed to them apologies and I understand they are not happy and that people are criticising.

"We will naturally take on board the discussion on technology and have first opportunity in July at the business meeting."

Why it is taking so long to introduce technology in football is crazy, I am sure if tennis can use it successfully then football can.

also  cricket, rugby (both codes), ice hocket etc etc etc  and yet debate, arguments and so on still continue.

It's about time Football came into the Twentieth, if not the Twentieth-first, Century.

I would rather Sepp Blatter brought in a rule to prevent foreign coaches at established football nations.

His apology isn't good enough, he's still a complete tosspot. It should never have happened and I feel just as bad for Mexico and all the other teams that have been cheated in the past 10 years because this prick won't do anything about it.

It was such a blatant goal, seen around the world, that he has no option now but to at least discuss it more.

Why, when players want it, managers and coaches want it, and referees want it does this idiot refuse to discuss it?
