fifa/uefa are stupid not to use video tech. I don't like American football but at least it seeks for the right decision in a game like Malaga - Dortmund today. The NFL referee can be made fun by people in the stadium for a temp wrong decision but as soon as he got a message from the other referees who watch the replay, that referee will go to the booth to watch it himself and an overturn could be made by him. fifa/uefa say video tech either must be used for all soccer games, important or not, or won't be used at all. That's just BS.

Video tech is for wankers who cannot be bothered to get off their fat asses in front of the telly and actually make an appearance at a match in real life, let alone play in one. :pado:

Video technology is designed to center the game around television viewing with 14 slow-motion camera angles and has nothing to do with the real-life action that happens in the stadium. We end up playing football for the slow-motion TV cameras and the illusion of precise angles and sub-second timing. That's not sport, that's crap.

It's as if Julius Ceasar could not be bothered to show up at the gladiator match in the Roman Coliseum. So instead of his thumbs up or down vote we have him watching from his Maldives hotel room on pay-per-view, sending in an SMS with his vote.
