Goal line technology I don't have a problem with. Offside, penalty decisions etc I do.
That's a little bit more restrictive than I would like it as I would include off sides. I would say many people would agree with you Sunny and leave it at goal-line technology only...for the moment. So therein lies the fear for FIFA. I suppose they fear this whole thing could snowball. And as the FIFA people are not used to technology I can understand their reluctance.
FIFA has always said that football is the same whether it is in the Phoenix park or Wembley i.e. same size pitch and goals, same ball and same kit. These people do not want to see a two-tiered game. That's the argument anyway. Personally, I disagree.
I want to see technology in the game but I don't think it will happen quickly. FIFA need to be pushed in to making the change as they will not do it themselves.
You can also look across the water to the US. Baseball is a game where millimeteres count. The decision to call a ball or a strike is decided by an umpire and an umpire only. Although you are looking for an imaginary box (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strike_zone ) there is no technology used by the umpire to determine the call. Please note there is technology there to determine his "call" success rate. In other words, they have the technology but don't use it.
Furthermore, it is only in the last 2/3 years that they have allowed post-game reviews of plays which are determined by the baseball commission. This rarely happens. See the umpire's call against Armando Galarraga's perfect game only 2 weeks ago. Human error cost Galarraga a place in the history books.
The only instant replay review allowed in a ball park is the "fair/foul" call to see if a hit is inside or outside the post. That has only come in to the game in the last couple of years too.
Now if baseball is slow to take on instant replays in a country where reviewing a call is accepted and expected, then perhaps we should understand where FIFA is coming from. Tiny steps. Tiny, tiny steps...
