Sepp Blatter states that "we must never stop the match with videos or monitors to look at what has happened". And Blatter's reasoning... "it would take away the spontaneity and fascination of our game - we must keep football with a human face."
All aspects of the game - tournament winners, player valuations, managers careers, major gambling liabilities, stock market prices etc - depend upon the accuracy of key match decisions. Why not use the technology?
It's not fascinating to lose a title or, for that matter, your job due to the "spontaneity" of a match official, Mr Blatter. If global football truly wanted to put on a human face then the authorities would drive corruption out of the game. FIFA obviously have no desire to clean up the sport and they will, no doubt, continue to put out all the usual duplicitous platitudes while maintaining the current status quo.
