Goal line technology on the way? Watered down more like as FIFA get their way. We don't need Hawkeye we need access to the TV replays and the 4th Official looks at it and calls it for the referee like they do in Rugby. If in doubt no score, no yellow card or red card a simple drop ball will suffice. I smell money here and companies making sure certain people are 'sweetened'. Goal line yes but offsides too! Any penalty can be looked at and any decision likely to affect the outcome of a match including direct red cards! If you get 2 yellows for being an idiot it is your fault. As usual the football fan is left to suck it up and pay their money there isn't a business that treats their customers in such a way.

On to footie, last night here in San Roque the noise was deafening as the cars drove around in a line tooting the success of the Spanish team especially against Portugal. They seemed as bereft of ideas as England as did Spain in some points which for me underlines the players are to blame not the manager once they get across that line. The mood amongst the public seems to be bin the players get new young ones in and keep Capello if only the people charged with looking at the game listened to us instead of listening to these experts that just want more money for coaches, players and kids starting out. It's not about money it is about attitude. So to the quarters; my thoughts are Germany will be too good for Argentina they are playing without fear but the Argentina team are together and full of flair. Brazil are showing well but takeable, my only hope is that Ghana do well. Why? Well they don't have any of the money, academies, coaches, hotels, massages and nonsense that we have yet seem to play ok?
