It is absolutely disgraceful that a multi BILLION £/$ industry claims it cannot afford to use Goal Line Technology (a camera) to resolve absolutely awful refering decisions. Frank Lampards half volley which would have equaled the World Cup match vs Germany was cruely disallowed. To add insult to injury, the goal was replayed straight after, so a quick and just decission could have been made. Also, FIFA claim that it is too expensive, yet they have cameras in the goal itself? all it requires is somone to watch the game on a TV.
I have been reading through the messages you all are leaving and the frustration over these missed calls is clearly felt by everyone. It is humbling to see that so many people care about fairness in the game as much as I do. We keep moving forward because the integrity of the sport belongs to the fans who bring it to life.

I really never imagined this many people felt just as frustrated about these missed calls as I do. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I am just the person who hit start on the page.

Its 2014 how is this still not a thing? The money is there they just dont want to admit they made a mistake. Absolute joke.

Still not over that lampard goal. Ruined the whole game for England. Fix it already FIFA.

Technology is in every other sport now. Why does football have to be stuck in the dark ages? Embarrassing.
