TECHNOLOGY WORKS FOR FANS BUT NOT UEFA OR FIFA!

Baseball spectators in Philadelphia can now use their machines to order food to be delievered to their seats while watching play.They can tap in their order and credit card details and wait for their food to arrive!Here in Europe UEFA have refused to use technology for major decisions in their European competitions.Instead they have added actual goal-line area officials one of whom some how missed Twente goalkeeper Nikolay Mihaylov rushing metres off his line to save Rafael van der Vaart's penalty for Spurs at White Hart Lane.The penalty itself was disputed.The referee would not say whether it was the extra official or him.Very helpful! This is not the first instance of it not working.The video replay is to overcome human error!Football is stupid not to use it.Rugby League is a non-stop action game but I watched video used well in the weekend Grand Challenge final at Old Trafford.But it will not be used there for football.Barmy!In the end by the way Spurs won their European Champions League match 4-1 but that's not the point.It might have been a match decider............
