Platini's a Luddite

I totally agree.:xxgrinning--00xx3:
The longer he and Blatter take this view the more crazy mistakes get made.
Especially at the higher level where mistakes can make a hugh impact.:NoNo:

FIFA and UEFA under new management, time for them to go home.

I wonder what Platinis view would have been if HE had hit the cross bar, the ball then went 3 ft over the line during a world cup and then no goal given? how can a camera being placed on the line in a circumstance like that be likened to Playstation?

I can only assume hes not a supporter of Rugby League, Rugby Union. NFl, horse racing athletics etc. or he only plays these games on the playstation too due to real/live games being spoiled by cameras? i think not!!


He was a great footballer, nothing else

I'm not really a big cricket fan, by my dad is. But i've seen this computer graphic thingy that predicts where the ball would have gone, given clear sight. The players seem happy to accept that technology.
