BIGGEST JOKE OF ALL
The biggest joke of all has to be Blatter and FIFA , after the shambles yesterday where two games were totally spoiled by incompetent officials.
Who can say how England or Mexico would have performed had they not been vistims of blatant
injustice. The psychological impact of being victimised during a game is unquantifiable. How different was the English dressing-room at half-time?
Some people are inclined to play down the importance of these decisions because of the emphatic final result but that is to completely miss the point.
Add to this our own (Ireland's) Henry handball incident and together (and they are only the recent goalmouth ones ) make the whole thing totally unsatisfactory. You begin to wonder are you watching a football match or a pantomime.
The sooner these backwoodsmen who run FIFA introduce technology the better.

apparently one official of FIFA said, there is no justification for 'technology' of any sort, be it a chip in the ball or whathave you, decisions are made on the spot and that's it - even wrong ones, it all adds to the 'fun' of the game. What fun? It's not fun at all, it causes bad feeling on the side of the loosing team, and the team that wins might feel good, but when you win by default, it isn't honest or just. When two people (eg the ref and the linesman) make the same 'wrong' decision, to me it smacks of corruption, somebody's being paid off.
