Refusal to at least try video technology in football is utter lunacy.

So the IFAB have decided that football doesn't need video technology. Well, the IFAB are morons. Their argument, although it makes sense, is weak. Implementing goal line technology would help alleviate the monumental pressure on referees and has been shown to work in other sports. I don't buy this argument that it would break up gameplay. Considering how long it takes for play to start after a controversial decision, it really wouldn't make a blind bit of difference.

With football being the mega-money business that it is today, it makes it all the more important to make sure that correct decisions are made. I really don't think it will affect conversations about controversial decisions. Instead people will just talk about the game itself! 

Considering the massive furore over Thierry Henry's handball against Ireland, this was the perfect time for the footballing world to be seen to be moving into the 21st Century. Instead, football is again lagging behind, too afraid to take some revolutionary steps.
